NPD recently released the third published report of ongoing studies of kids' technology habits Research firm NPD found that the average age of children using electronic gadgets lowered to 6.7 years of age in 2007; a drop from 8.1 years of age in 2005. In the report, "Kids and Consumer Electronics Trends III," NPD used an online questionnaire aimed at adults at least 25 years of age who have children in the household between 4 and 14."Kids are drawn to the latest and greatest digital just as their parents are. They appear to have no fear of technology and adopt it easily and without fanfare, making these devices a part of their everyday lives," said Anita Frazier, NPD Group industry analyst.Televisions and desktop computers are commonly the first forms of consumer electronics children are exposed to - usually starting at age 4 or 5 years old, but most common for 7 year old children. Devices such as portable digital media players and satellite radios are used more often by ch

Why are we consciously killing our beloved, precious children? I know the majority of us love them and wish them long lives. We are their first line of defense...their role models in life and it is up to us grown-ups to responsibly educate them about their health. We wouldn't give them a pack of cigarettes for their 11th birthday present and say, "Ok, now let me show you what to do with this cigarette, my dear (insert name of child here)" We wouldn't serve them a Pina Colada at their 11th birthday party and say, "Darling, I think you will like this even better than that boring glass of milk."But we show no compunction when we stand idly by while our children are growing more obese every day. And we cry when the doctor writes prescriptions for medicine that will help to control their Type II Diabetes.It is time to wake up, guys!!!!! This is a form of child abuse!!!! We must teach children by our examples on how to care for themselves with this. Now please understand that by this I do

Between 2002 to 2005, the use of agents to prevent or treat type 2 diabetes among US children, 5 to 19 years of age, increased from about 0.3 to 0.6 per 1000, which could have "enormous implications" for long-term healthcare needs and expenses, new research shows.Dr. Emily Cox, Express Scripts senior director of research, and colleagues based their conclusions on an analysis of prescription claims for millions of children enrolled with Express Scripts, a St. Louis-based pharmacy benefit management company. This is the first national study to distinguish between the use of agents for type 1 and type 2 diabetes."This study is the first of its kind nationally to reveal the long-suspected national increase in the prevalence of children with or at risk for diabetes," lead author Dr. Cox said in a statement.The largest increase in the use of type 2 antidiabetic agents -- 106% -- was for children between 10 and 14 years of age. The highest prevalence was among 15- to 19-year-old adolescents i

Those sneakers with wheels in the heel have obtained the rare spontaneous ubiquity that, when I was a child, was reserved for things like slap-bracelets and Tamagotchis.  The most popular brand is Heelys, but type ?roller sneakers? into Google and you?ll find a shitload of links selling similar products.  Heelys were invented about ten years ago by roller skate enthusiast Roger Adams, who ? I?m guessing ? hates both children and their parents. Ashley and I went to the grocery store yesterday.  There were these two girls, eleven or twelve years old at the most, gliding along behind their mother on their pairs of Heelys.  They were totally oblivious to anyone else in the store, the Heelys apparently having an affect similar to the mysterious alien game on that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, where Wesley Crusher and Ashley Judd were the only ones not hypnotized, and had to save the crew.  Not my favorite episode.  Any episode where Wesley charges to the rescue will not come hi

Blair's Big Brother Government will now force 5.9million children to have their fingerprints taken by schools simply to borrow library books or gain access to school dinner service. 5.9 million children's fingerprints are believed to have been taken already, some without parental approval and even by 'con tricks' such as pretend spy games. The Tories obtained information from Freedom of
