		<description>I read once about how our parents&#039; and grandparents&#039; generations expect a button to do something (i.e. on or off), while we expect it to give us a list of options. </description>

		<description>And, if I may, I&#039;d like to say something else. 
 
My three-year-old can quite confidently navigate is way around our iPod touch.  He can access the apps we have on there for him, regardless what is already open at the time.    He can also confidently navigate Wii Fit, as long as I&#039;ve turned it on for him.    When I get my shiny new Mac in the near future, no doubt he will learn to find his way around it much quicker than my husband in his late-thirties.  Actually, he can navigate Wii Fit better than his father. 
This has nothing to do with age.  It has everything to do with how much access the user has to the technology.    Yes, younger people learn new things better than older people do.  It has to do with brain development.    But if a fifteen-year-old has never used Facebook, but her seventy-year-old grandmother uses it every day, the grandmother will be more proficient.  At least for a little while. </description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s sad that anyone would be getting excited by the prospect of Britney Spears...  
 
I&#039;m understanding the whole generation gap in the fashion thing.  Last week I was in Target with my sister, who is ten years younger than me, and she picked up a dress that looked identical to something I dressed my Barbie in, and then we walked into a section where I felt like I was in Barbie and the Rockers wardrobe.  If you weren&#039;t a young girl in 1986, that probably makes no sense to you, but Barbie is always at the epitome of fashion.   </description>

		<description> I think there is some wisdom in this.   I think it is so important for us to recognise that we possess so much knowledge not because we are so much smarter than generations previous, but rather because we have so much knowledge to build on.  Great advances in technology, medicine, and the Arts come because we are advancing on other people&#039;s advances.  Imagine if every generation had to work out gravity before they could go on to work out how to build a faster plane.    </description>

		<description>Ahh Leah,  
 
Rule one for publicly correcting someone is don&#039;t make an error yourself.  
 
Rule two is don&#039;t correct someone who has editing capabilities when you don&#039;t.  </description>

		<description>Would you believe my mum used to teach computer studies out at the uni back in the 80s?? haha. 
 
Oh, and lol... Andre got rickrolled :D It was jailbroken iPhones on Sintel-owned networks, not just Optus as the article claimed. Optus is owned by Sintel, just like other networks in Asia that were also affected.  
 
Oh and apparently you don&#039;t know how to use apostrophes either... seriously, using an apostrophe for a plural?? &quot;I think future children are going to be playing the games their father&#8217;s give the.&quot; :P </description>

		<description>I was anticipating some profound statement of wisdom but it never came. I feel ripped off, lists are much better return on investment for readers. </description>
