7 year old who wants to watch dog videos cleverly made her own cardboard computer

Now, she'll be able to watch YouTube videos all the time.

Never underestimate the power of a kid's imagination, especially one who loves dogs.

Emma Saccá Marcano asked her mom for a computer for one reason only: to watch dog videos on YouTube. Unfortunately, Yubiry Marcano didn't have money to buy her one, so her daughter improvised and created her own computer instead.

The little girl may have blown her chances, because this invention seems pretty great.

Marcano posted the image of her 7-year-old daughter's creation on Reddit and the site was delighted. Emma used some cardboard, adding features like an alphabetical keyboard, images of dogs, and a headline of "Why Younicorns Egist." Big Mood.

"My reaction was positive, I’m glad that she is happy to think out of the box and that she is creative," she told Mashable. "I told her that I really like her PC and I helped her to finish some of the dogs."

Users were quick to think of the funniest puns and possibly hidden motives for creating the technology masterpiece.

While the computer was the perfect opportunity for puns, the internet prove how supportive they can be. Redditors began suggesting affordable computers for Marcano to buy her daughter. Some, even suggested to send her one free of charge.

"I feel overwhelmed because I received so many offers from so many places, people wanted to give her a PC (new or used) some other people offered iPads and even an iPhone 6s," she said.

"Many people were very generous and that filled my hearth with joy and hope," Marcano continued. "Other people thought that I was being proud or cheap or even stupid for not accepting the laptops. I just think that it would be wrong for us to accept it when there is lots of people that really need it."

According to Emma's mom, she has a lot of options aside from her cardboard computer to watch videos, but we wouldn't mind seeing her whip up a cardboard iPad or iPhone edition in the near future.
