Tendinitis of the thumb seems to be an upcoming youth disease. :-)
But it is true: I hardly can believe how fast and totally independent  
children and adolescents pick up the new ways of communication.
My oldest daughter of 10 recently found out all by herself how to  
make a little movie with her iBook, edit it, and put it on YouTube.
Part of this had to be done in English, which she doesn't get courses  
for yet.
When I asked her how she managed to do it, she gave me that look of  
'what a stupid question, dad!' and said: 'Just like that.'
