The story of Toddler Swipes the Fish Tank

A generation of babies grew up with tablets, so every flat surface looked like a screen to them. They swiped fish tanks, pinched oven doors and tapped picture frames with total confidence. Nothing happened. They frowned, swiped harder and looked at their parents like the fish was broken. Grandparents found this deeply concerning.

Fun fact

One toddler tried to zoom in on a family portrait at grandma's house so many times that it got a smudge in the center.
