I'd tend to disagree, depending on how new the technology is it may be
old
hat to any child to know about these things while in primary school. Its
the
agricultural equivalent of the video/computer leaps our kids take for
granted - Lachy and Janneke can both program the video and regularly use
our
computer with no fuss... something their grandfather can't manage at all
and
if he can he can't do it without looking flustered.
