A nine year old at play

Jen's niece is nine years old and a real sweetheart. While we were riding in the car, she was playing with stuffed dog toy and announced to all of us that she was going to upgrade the toy to 2009 and proceeded to spend the next ten minutes doing so and keeping a running commentary about her work. A bit later that afternoon, she bought a stuffed cat to go along with her other toy. I suggested that she might need to upgrade the cat to be at the same version number as the dog. She proceeded to do this while we were walking along the sidewalk. It seems that stuffed cats can be upgraded in a few seconds where stuffed dogs take ten minutes. A funny observation on how pervasive computer technology is in today's society. Her Dad is a master mechanic, her Mom works in the family business office -- neither of them are �ber-geeks.
