With the boom of technology, even little kids know how to use smartphones and social media applications. It isn’t unusual to see them using gadgets but now a clip of a troop of monkeys being curious about smartphones has gone viral. Union Law Minister, Kiren Rijiju shared this clip on Twitter. Monkeys are known to snatch things away from humans or are often spotted imitating humans. Now, they seem to be catching up in the technology game as well.

In the clip, a man is seen holding a smartphone in front of three inquisitive monkeys who are trying to understand the tiny gadget. One of them also scrolls through the device, while the other two stare at the screen. Amidst this, one elderly monkey in the background is trying to divert their attention from the gadget. “Look at the success of digital literacy awareness reaching an unbelievable level!” Kiren Rijiju wrote in the caption.
