Two great anecdotes from Michael Slinger of Google to start his presentation at the Search Insider Summit on Friday morning.  First: several months ago his wife took their two young children to Disneyland.  At one point she ducked into a public payphone to make a call, prompting her six-year-old to ask: "What is that? What is that thing?" because he'd never seen one used. When Slinger told a colleague the story, she responded with the second anecdote: her two and four-year-olds go up to her big-screen TV and touch the screen to try to slide-navigate because they are so used to the iPad.  Funny anecdotes, and a little scary.
