Study finds children as young as 2-years-old can use touchscreen devices

If you have children you may already know this, but a study has outlined just how adept toddlers are at using touchscreen technology such as iPads.

The study showed 91% of parents with a touchscreen device said their children were able to swipe it, half of the children were able to unlock it, and 64% said their child actively searched for touchscreen features.

The small-scale study was led by Dr Deirdre Murray of the INFANT Research Centre and Department of Paediatrics and Child Health at University College Cork.
