India's Internet Baby: Latest viral video

Check out India’s most viral ad ever. The MTS Telecom commercial features a baby so Internet savvy that it Googles how to cut its own umbilical cord, takes selfies and maps itself out of the delivery room—snapping even more selfies along the way.

Sometimes, when I see how innately my kids learn and embrace technology, I wonder if they were born with the knowledge already. How else can they know out how to change the settings on my new phone while I’m still figuring out how to increase the font size so I can read the damn thing?

We can be scared of it. Or we can embrace it. Or we can just muddle along, without really knowing what the hell we are doing. I'm going with option C.

The kids know what to do.
