Ask HN: Do your kids refer to scrolling in the “reverse” way?
The other day my 5yo was sitting by my side as I controlled the KB and mouse on a random google image search. She wanted me to scroll the view to see more images and so she said: "Daddy, go up"
And I said: "Do you mean down?"
She said: "No i mean up.. like this" - [proceeding to stick out her finger in the air and making an upwards motion as if manipulating a touch screen]
I said: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh i see now. :-)"
Have you also witnessed touch-screen era kids exhibit this sort of scroll direction ambiguity as well?
Sorry for the "trivial Sunday question" =)
