Meanwhile she is doing all of this with one headphone plugged in so she can listen to music while all this is happening.
When the movie was over she asked me why it ended that way and I told her had she actually watched it instead of doing six things at the same time she would have understood. She looked at me like I was crazy and she had no idea what I was talking about.

This is actually what terrifies me about "the future". I am young enough (mid-forties) to (hopefully) be here in 20-30 years when your niece's generation takes over and controls everything.
I predict chaos and a lot of crying. LOL
