A couple of weeks
ago I saw this really funny article about apes using iPads. The article was
about a type of ape called an Orangutan using iPads to keep their minds active.
I thought this article was really funny and it made me realize that Orangutans
are just like humans in a lot of ways. When the Orangutans were playing the
iPad in the video attached to the article, they looked just like humans.
I don't think other animals would have resembled people so much. I can’t
imagine a lizard walking on top of the iPad and beating Angry Birds. The
apes' intelligence was especially clear when they were playing
the colouring app where you just draw with your finger. The most
surprising thing about the article was that the apes find the apps amusing just
like humans, especially the camera app and the drum app. Trish Khan says the
Orangutans like the free apps, but if they’re anything like humans, they would
like the expensive apps even more.
