Well, it's not like I have a ton of subscribers reading this blog. It seems to be more for my vanity than anything else. Of course, if I would update this on a more regular basis maybe I'd generate more interest. Nonetheless, I was reading up on some news in my RSS reader when I came across this little tidbit over at techdirt. It seems that Obama is falling into the same trap as everyone else, mainly, that video games are making our children obese and that we should encourage them to put down the controllers and play outside. Well, someone over at techdirt found and interesting article stating that Chess was doing the same thing to our poor kids. Of course it was written in July 1859 issue of Scientific American. I found this to be entertaining to say the least. Also, in a similar vein. Go over and listen to PRI's the World Tech Podcast, they have a interesting report regarding today's kids being dubbed Generation Google. Unlike Generation-X'ers, of whom I'm a part of this group, kids aren't watching more TV but are using the Internet more, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. Why? Because they are learning to collaborate more, are doing their homework, and know how to find information better than the previous generation of kids. All very interesting tidbits.
