Very funny. I like the part with all the side effects. Most things sold out there have serious side effects but we still buy them. Love it! Very funny. I like the part with all the side effects.

]]> Comment on Assignment 20 (7th & 8th Grade): Ban Bottled Water by Mildred Matos http://techbrarian.com/home/?p=1581&cpage=1#comment-56 Mildred Matos Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:08:25 +0000 http://techbrarian.com/home/?p=1581#comment-56 It is hard to deny that sometimes tap water has a heavier taste than water bottle. But if we filter the tap water then the water becomes definitely as tasty and clean as bottled water. Nowadays, restaurants also have to filter their water and therefore I always ask for tap water when I go to restaurants. When in doubt, I add a slice of lemon or lime to the water and this makes it drinkable. Bottled water manufacturing is damaging our ecosystem since the empty bottles are hard to recycle and when they are destroyed they create dangerous toxic that contaminates our atmosphere and the clean water in our rivers. In order to help solve the bottled water problem, I have started asking for tap water in restaurants, I filtered my tap water at home and carry it in a reusable bottle. Sometimes I am in a hurry and I forget my filtered water bottle in the fridge. Then I have to pay for a bottle of water at the store. I have found that a great solution to my forgetfulness is to post sticky notes in my front door to remind me to bring my water with me.

]]> Comment on Assignment 17 (7th and 8th Grade): Tech Issues, Part 2: Gaming Addiction Continued… by Ms. Matos http://techbrarian.com/home/?p=1512&cpage=1#comment-55 Ms. Matos Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:22:38 +0000 http://techbrarian.com/home/?p=1512#comment-55 People with a game addiction might have something lacking in their lives and if necessary they should seek for professional help like any other addiction. If you dedicate so much time to gaming, then you have little or no time to socialize with friends and family. If you have a job, you might have not the ability to concentrate at work and you might even try to play computer games while at work which will get you fired. The same for students; students who play video games most of their time may have a hard time concentrating in school because they can develop a low attention span. Anything else, besides the games, becomes boring to them. It is so easy to fall into a deep depression with this attitude. I am not saying that playing video games is all bad. But it is important to maintain a balance between playing games, socializing with friends and family and developing healthier hobbies.

This blog reminds me of the war between the colonist and the native americans. While they had guns, native americans only had arrows. This blog also reminds of the movie "Avatar" where the strong guys with the latest technology and weapons attack the indigenous people whose only mechanism of defense were bone arrows. Unfortunately, in this world, the survival of the fittest still applies. Is it fair?! Well, I don't think so but it is the world we live in.
