First Times with Technology

I'm always amazed at how much earlier our daughter interacts effectively with technology versus when I did.  I remember when I saw her pause the DVD at five, even though no one taught her how to do it.  I almost never used the pause feature before our daughter did.

Here are some other examples of our daughter using technology at a much younger age than me.

	Age of Experience
Technology Activity	Daughter	Me
Fly in Airplane	1	20
Use Computer	3	19
Own Computer	8	25
Download Music	8	n/a

I'm sure the trend will continue as she gets older.  She will definitely own a cell phone before me, since I still refuse to get one.
