Funny or irresponsible? Some parents in China decided that technology should solve their indecision just a few minutes after the birth.
Right in the maternity room, they brought a cellphone close to their newborn daughter so that she herself could “choose” her name using a digital roulette wheel. The options were Min and Nami, and after manipulating the baby’s tiny hand to touch the screen, chance determined the final name: Min.
The scene ended with the adults laughing, but on Facebook the reaction was different. “Not even ten minutes old and they’re already giving her a cellphone, how crazy”, commented users outraged by such early exposure to devices.
The controversy exploded because many consider it disrespectful to decide something so personal without real consent, using the baby as an accessory for a viral video. Do you think it’s a funny anecdote or that technology crossed a line this time?
