To be fair: Without reading the manual or getting some other way of bootstrapping help, she couldn't have figured it out.
On the other side that "test" kept me thinking: Using smartphones, webbrowsers and whatnot seems to be a no-brainer to the kids. At the same time a very simple computer looks totally enigmatic to them. Or in other words: they learned to use todays tech but have no clue about their inner workings or at least the inner workings of yesterdays tech. It's maybe because i'm getting old, but i think this is a worrying development.
(Yet, e.g. a plus/4 is a fantastic machine to glimpse how all our todays computer-gadgets work at their core. )
