Computer Age

Mon., Feb 5

Last night we were getting ready for bed, and getting our last bit of playing in.  I suggested that we line up Max's "Movie Cars" based on eye color.  Max go into it, and really had fun.  Interestingly, he didn't even have to look at half of them (he knew Sally had green eyes, for instnace).   When we were done, I mentioned that his "Sarge" was missing, so I asked him what color he thought Sarge's eyes were.  I figured he's guess, and I'd follow up with "why do you think tha?t".  I'm always super interested in knowing WHY he thinks things and WHAT his thought process is.

Instead of guessing Max said "I know" and got up and ran out of the room.  I was pretty sure he didn't know where Sarge was (he's been missing for a while now), so I followed him to see where he was going. 

He ran into the computer room, turned on Christine's machine, logged in as himself, went to the Cars™ Movie website, and went to the gallery to see what color Sarge's eyes are (they're brown for anyone who cares).

Wow. 

I guess we know who he learned the from, since whenever Christine or I want to know anything (weather, phone number, etc.), we look it up online.  :)


Just a few weeks ago he taught himself how to play a memory/concentration game on the Cars™ movie site, where you have to match tiles.  He can beat the timer sometimes.
