My 17 month old grand daughter knows the home button for ever electronic device in the house. It was pretty funny when she tried to turn her aunt's sleeping dog "ON" with the TV remote.

I wonder how this generation will evolve and adapt to the ability to instantaneously access anything. I know we can do it now but we weren't born into it they way these infants are. The social psychology of this is really interesting to someone who didn't even see a TV until she was in school and the phone in our old farm house had a crank.
