HiTech Dads Geek Moment - Common Hear The Noise!

by dana on February 7, 2008

As a child of the digital age, my 6 month old daughter loves anything technology related.  Looking at the screen saver on the iMac, hitting the keyboard and reaching for and trying to use the Harmony multi-function remote.

Being a parent of the digital age, and a HiTech Dad, I have more than a few keyboard lying around.  A perfect cost efficient toy for my daughter came in the form of an old Microsoft Natural Keyboard with the cord cut off for safety.

It goes something like this:

  • Sit kid upright either between your legs or in the favorite chair
  • Put child-proof keyboard in front of kid
  • Kid will spend up to 30 minutes whacking the crud out of the keyboard in utter delight

The next invention, taking an old pee cee, hooking up a keyboard to that with some music response.

My kids play with the defunct laptop and love it! It’s crazy. they also have old cell phones that we just keep charging, the 1 year old especially loves that!

i have an old pc that i’ll have to setup for her… maybe. although i might want to spare her any windows trauma. ;-)
