Preschoolers are more comfortable with technology

By mediainmind

According to a recent study (http://tinyurl.com/kescvfq) preschoolers do better than college students at figuring out how to use gadgets. It seems they have not yet had their natural creativity blunted by conformity imposed by all the usual suspects. The psychology of learning is a core part of the psychology of media use and influence, and I would argue that the more creative one is, the less one is likely to be unduly influenced by mediated messages. What do you think?
