Gever Tulley’s 5 Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Kid Do. A great video at TED.

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be. — Douglas Adams (via invaderxan)

We somehow think this is perfectly “natural.”

Apple sold more iPads last quarter than HP sold PCs. Those iPads are used to read books, write books, create and give presentations, get directions, teach med students and lawyers, run companies, drive home theater systems, play games—a thousand things we have done with computers for years, and much more.

But if you’re still not thinking about the iPad as a “personal computer” because it doesn’t ship with a hardware keyboard or some type of port, I hope 1995 is treating you well.
