it's impressive that little Kylie is able to transfer a snapshot of her pet fish from her camera to a PC, color-correct it, and e-mail it to her family

Actually, we don't see her do any of these things. The advert is so full of jump cuts and close-ups [*], that the only thing we see the child actually do is plug in a USB cable (the fiddly end of which is already suspiciously plugged into the camera before she starts).

Although, I'm not saying that in itself isn't impressive, given that USB was designed in such a way that the most common USB plug is symmetrical and fits in the socket (to a limited extent) the wrong way up.
