Some genius over at MSNBC decided to publicly list the best iPad apps for babies and toddlers. Are you NUTS? You’re going to spend $500 on an iPad and then give the thing to your flipping kid? Let me be brutally honest here. Kids do not take of their toys. They just don’t have the maturity or experience to understand what happens if you neglect your toys. When I was a kid, my He-Man action figure had a run in with the ground, 50 feet away from where I launched him into orbit. One of the plastic legs snapped off at the shin. Mom and I taped his foot back on and we went on our way. When I started in band, I got a cheap instrument when there are instruments worth $5,000. Why didn’t I get the best horn possible? Because I was a kid who was going to bang this thing around! It’s what kids do. My niece decided to determine the buoyancy of my wife’s iPhone by dropping it on the concrete patio. The result has been a battery that only holds a charge for one day before needing to be plugged into recharge. I don’t care how many iPads you can buy, don’t give your kids one of these gadgets.
