Smartphones and iPads can "mush" toddler's brains?

Link it up.

According to this article, the screens of your smartphones or iPads can hurt your toddlers' brains. It is said that you should keep their eyes away from TV screens if they're 2 or younger, but what about handheld screens? The American Academy of Pediatrics say they can do the same kind of damage as a TV screen. Though this may be true, how could you get away with interactive toys with screens and such? Wouldn't it be the same thing?
Personally, if you're going to let a toddler play with a toy meant for it with a screen, there shouldn't be any problems with them watching TV or an iPad. If the danger was that bad they wouldn't market off those kinds of toys. If it keeps them entertained and happy, let them watch their shows.

Will Ferrell is Awesome

Yo dawg here's a link.

Funny man Will Ferrell recently won the Mark Twain prize for American Humor from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts last Sunday. This prize was well awarded, and I believe he deserves it well. Will Ferrell has always been one of my favorite comedic actors and this just goes to show how funny he is. I've seen almost all his movies and they're all hilarious. His SNL skits are a riot as well.

It was actually his George W. Bush impression he did on SNL that sealed the deal. It went on to be an act on Broadway and be a huge success. His website FunnyorDie.com is always a big input on his career and the winning of this award. All in all, Will Ferrell is an amazingly funny man and deserved every piece of this award more than any other.

TERRA NURRRRRRRRVA is bad.

My final thoughts on Terra Nova? Terra Bada is more like it. Zing~
But no really. This show wasted so much money and resources. It had so much potential and they didn't use it the way the should. Bad acting, bad storylines, just bad. It's really disappointing, because I had such high hopes for this show and it failed me. I will not continue watching this show, and i'm glad I don't have to. I can't take the terribleness that is Terra Nova much longer, especially when I anticipated this show so much before. Terra Nova had so many directions they could have gone with this, and they took one of the worst routes. This show will recieve the official Mark of Fail, enforced upon by myself.

TERRA NURRRRRRRVA WHAT REMAINS YEAH!

So the new episode of Terra Nova aired this week. And what are my thoughts on it? Absolutely apalling. It was another episode based around one huge problem that they were able to solve by the end of the episode. In another words, 1-2 days show-time. It's gotten so unoriginal it's just plain bad. And they're not even scared of the dinoaurs anyore hardly, and they just got there, it's only the third episode. The whole concept of the episode wasn't even good. It makes me glad this was the last episode I have to watch, because this show was a complete waste. Don't get me wrong, the scenery and special effects are great, but the acting and storyline went from good to bad all within 3 episodes.

TERRA NURRRRRRVA INSTINCT YEAH!

The second episode of Terra Nova, titled Instinct, was..well let's just say not as good as the pilot. Actually, nowhere near as good. In the episode, the Terra Novians or what have you, encountered a serious problem. And solved it. Within the same episode. That kind of plot line for an episode, makes me think of a cartoon. One thing happens, that thing gets solved, the end we're happy yay. But for a live action TV series like this, it's just unacceptable. It should take 2-3 episodes to solve something like that, to cover more story and make it a better series.And some scenes were just awful, like forgetting the most important person you're trying to protect in a room with a bunch of "angry birds". How could you possibly forget that, did you expect the little girl to turn into a giant crime-fighting robot and fire phazor beams at the pterosaurs and save herself? And then there's the typical last second save of the dangerous situation. Terra Nova, be more original. I know you have the potential. Hopefully the nest episode will show better results.

TERRA NURRRRRRVA GENESIS YEAH!

The first episode of Terra Nova was fantastic in my opinion. I picked this show at first because dinosaurs are awesome and one of my favorite things ever. And I figured most of the show would revolve around them. But through the first episode, I can tell there's more to that. And i'm okay with that. Because every show needs a more in-depth story than just going into the past and fighting dinosaurs. There was the introduction of Sixxers, the primary humanoid antagonists, along with strange writings which the writer of is unknown. There are so many questions to be asked, and I can't wait to see some of the answers. If I didn't have to watch this for Mass Media, i'd probably be watching it anyway, that's how super-cool it is. I honestly can't wait for more.
