Like most little ones Oliver is drawn to our computer. We have a Macbook, laptop. While I was playing with him on the floor, I pulled the computer out to do some March Madness research for my bracket (Tourney starts tomorrow).
Oliver, can't crawl but he's really good at pulling himself across the floor. So, with in seconds he was between me and our computer trying to hit all the buttons. This behavior is pretty typical of every other time the computer is with in arm's reach of Oliver. So, I decided to let him go to town on the keyboard.
I let him do whatever he wanted to our computer for one minute. In that minute he managed to:
- close safari (macs web browser)
- open Iphoto (to our Christmas album)
- change screen setting to a split-screen then four screen and then six screen setting
- open the dash-board to the calculator and then multiply 7 times 2
- lick the screen (I'm looking at a big tongue mark in the middle of the screen)
- shut the laptop on his head (he's fine, he has a big head)
- and as I'm pulling the lap top away from the crying baby a CD is ejected out of the disk drive.
Oh, and being a baby, he didn't use the mouse for any of this. It was all done by commands that I don't have a clue about. Even my seven month old is smarter with computers than I am. And, a lot more productive, this was all accomplished in a minute.
Maybe he will invent Facebook 2.0. You are all witnesses, Facebook 2.0 was my idea, if Oliver creates it I will expect the customary 65 million for having an idea with no ability to create it. (Watch 'Social Network' for an explanation of the last paragraph.)
I knew he was a genius!
