“The Ohio boy said he learned to drive by watching YouTube videos”

“The child, at the wheel with his four-year-old sister riding shotgun, drove for about a mile and a half, stopping at red lights and letting traffic pass before he executed a left turn into the McDonald’s in the town of East Palestine in eastern Ohio, the paper said.”

Thoughts:

It is amazing what kids are capable of, especially in things they are interested in. Youtube or other communication platform can be an another great source of learning. However, care must be taken as well  when learning from these platforms. Because Youtube is structured in a way to try to keep you hooked watching videos after videos for hours for them to earn more ad dollars.
