look what pop culture has done 3

This reiterates mt point even further. My point that young children’s minds are shaped and moulded very easily. The younger the child, the easier they are to mould. This TWO YEAR OLD is playing the video game Guitar Hero on EXPERT, a feat that even I cannot achieve. I’d like to note that this little boy is incredible, because even with my adult sized hands, I still can’t reach the fifth button, which is crucial in a level such as expert. If a two year old can get up to the highest level on a video game, clearly he has the ability to use his mind for other, more useful things. Guitar Hero requires hand-eye coordination, and rythym; skills that a two year old APPARENTLY possesses. It would be incredile to see what little boys such as this one can achieve academically if they put their mind to it. Instead of watching educational videos, the children of today play video games and watch major motion pictures. Popular culture has certainly affected these children and their parents. Parents introduce popular culture at an extremely young age. What this video says to me, is that children clearly have a high ability to achieve, and that parents should take advantage at this. If your kid is beating video games I can’t beat, then they have talent, and it’s not solely video games. Someone with the ability to get to the highest level of a video game definitely have other skills within them. We should be spending the crucial years of child development developing necessary skills for life. There is so much that we can feed into the brains of these kids that are much more important then say, the summary of Star Wars Episode IV.
