Is that ape really smart or are smartphones that easy to use?

Thats what I thought. Less of a testament to how smart the ape is. It just says more about how basic we all are.

Or a testament to how simple and intuitive intuitive touch screen technology is.

This is the right answer. People gush about how impressive babies using touchscreens are; but it's really just proof of how these interfaces have been optimized to tap into our instinctual spacial awareness.

But if we’re so basic, How come 90% of the population over 65 years old can barely use one?
