I think I've figured out at least part of the phenomenon wherein intelligent, competent adults ask their kids to handle certain technological tasks...
A few months ago when we finally got a DVD player, my husband set it up, and my 13 year old son read all the manuals and played with it constantly to learn all about how it works. I, on the other hand, don't have time and couldn't care less about learning how the thing works. Thus, when it came time to watch a DVD, it was, "Here, Tim, turn this on for me, o.k.?"
I guess it's otherwise known as the path of least resistance.
