...There are many opinions on why screen time can benefit or be a negative factor in the way a child is being raised. Today children are used to some form of screen time whether it's television, playing video games or smart phones. I believe there can be negative results from the way children are raised today. I stongly belive family time, being outdoors and any creativity through any form of art can be beneficial for children to grow with a more positive outlook on life. Growing up I was always sure to have family time. I think family is very important for a child's upbringing to much screen time kids won't learn to converse. Having family around made it easier for me to understand how to communicate. If children are always on there screens...

Most research is from North America and focuses on television. Few longitudinal studies have compared the effects of TV and electronic games, or have investigated gender differences. Purpose To explore how time watching TV and playing electronic games at age 5 years each predicts change in psychosocial adjustment in a representative sample of 7 year-olds from the UK. Methods Typical daily hours viewing television and playing electronic games at age 5 years were reported by mothers of 11 014 children from the UK Millennium Cohort Study. Conduct problems, emotional symptoms, peer relationship problems, hyperactivity/inattention and prosocial behaviour were reported by mothers using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Change in adjustment from age 5 years to 7 years was regressed on screen exposures; adjusting for family characteristics and functioning, and child characteristics. Results Watching TV for 3 h or more at 5 years predicted a 0.13 point increase (95% CI 0.03 to 0.24) in conduct problems by 7 years,...

...It could be because your child is spending too much time on electronics. When your child has too much screen time, their entire mood and behavior is changed. Their brain can actually be damaged from too much screen time. The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that the average child and adolescent spends as much as seven hours a day looking at a screen, whether it be video games, tablets, cell phone, computer or TV. There are a number of studies that connect delayed cognitive development in children with extended exposure to electronics as well as many other effects....

...computers, some say that computers cause detrimental effects to those who are exposed to its radiation. Radiation, in Physics, it is defined as the process of transmitting energy through space. There are two types of radiation exposure—82% is from natural resources such as cosmic and solar rays and 18% of the exposure is from man-made radiation. Radiation injures the body by destroying cells and parts of cells. It hinders cells from dividing which gives rise to cells which does not have the ability to reproduce. The reason why the researchers have chosen this topic is to stress out the hazardous effects of computer radiation.Long-term exposure to radiation increases the risk of all forms of cancer, tumors, blood disorders, miscarriage, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, aging of the skin, skin burn, etc. Radiation exposure over time can cause skin burn, dry wrinkled skin and photo aging. This skin damage is identical to sun damage and causes the same health problems. Many electronic products that we use on a daily basis expose us to harmful radiation. A television, microwave oven, cellular phone and computer are examples of products that emit radiation. To preserve your health use electronic products carefully, in ways that shield your body from radiation. Computer radiation is most harmful to skin health because we sit directly in front of the computer for long periods of time with our face absorbing the radiation. Lessening...

...Home • Instructors • Students • Support Making A Branded Sales Forecast Explanations — Information on Rules/Procedures — Suggestions and Tips This screen is exceptionally important and, properly used, is a very powerful tool for making shrewd decisions. It should always be your starting point for making upcoming-year decisions because the number of branded pairs you anticipate selling drives how many pairs to produce and ship. Without a reasonably reliable forecast of how many branded pairs you can expect to sell, you are not really prepared or ready to move on to entering decisions on the plant operations and shipping screens (or any of the other screens for that matter). The Logic Underlying the Branded Sales Forecast Screen While the Branded Sales Forecast screen admittedly looks complicated and requires a bunch of entries, the logic underlying the sales forecast entries is fairly straightforward: • Your entries in the four columns headed “Company __’s Marketing Effort” represent tentative values for your company’s marketing effort for the upcoming year in each of the four geographic regions. Think of the entries as “preliminary” or “trial” decisions that represent “what if we do this to try to sell branded pairs in this region.” The numbers already in these columns when you first come to the screen are the decisions your company made last year and represent the competitive marketing effort your company employed to achieve last year’s branded sales volumes...

...December 4, 2012 Article Summary According to the first article How TV Affects Your Child, children under the age of six (including two-thirds of infants and toddlers) watch two hours of some sort of media screen a day. These hours increase to almost six hours a day for children ages eight to eight-teen years of age. This is a huge difference to what the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends; children under the age of two years should not watch any TV (screen time could interfere with brain and social development) and children older than two years of age should not watch any more than two hours of quality programming a day (screen time could interfere with social, academic, and physically actives). There are a lot of positive attributes TV can offer: quality programming can teach young children the alphabet or interesting facts about nature and adults can stay current with the evening news. However, a little TV goes a long way. Children who watch violent media are less likely to trust the outside world and more likely to have aggressive behaviors. American children watch, on average, two hundred thousand violent acts on TV by the time they reach the age of eight-teen years old. All this violence gives children a mixed message. While us adults say it is “not nice” to hit the so-called “hero” shows hitting is the way to fight the “bad guys”. How is this showing our youth the difference between right and wrong? Young children cannot distinguish between what is real and...

...It was early Saturday morning. I decided to text my friend to see if he wanted to go to breakfast. Seconds later I got a response; he would love to. When we got to Cracker Barrel, there was a gigantic crowd. So, we decided to wait, but the entire time we were waiting, my friend, instead of talking to me, just looked at his phone. I was infuriated. And if it wasn’t bad enough already, when we got to the table, he proceeded to look at his phone almost the entire time. This is becoming a major problem among teens, as well as adults. Just last week, I was at Chey’s and I look over to the table across from me, and both women were staring at their phones and were not saying a word to each other. Is this what we really want the dinner table to look...

The Bad Effects Of Computer Radiation… We’ll examine the EMF radiation from different types of desktop and laptop computers, what that means for your health, and the SafeSpace products that can protect you while you work, surf and socialize online. What is Computer Radiation & Where Does it Come From? CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screen radiation - If your desktop monitor (or TV) is a few years old and has a deep cabinet, chances are it’s a CRT. CRTs are by far the most dangerous type of screen. • Few desktop computers are made with CRT screens anymore (though some video gamers still prefer them). • The images produced by CRT screens involve a number of processes, including the front of the tube being scanned downward in a pattern of lines, electron beams “sweeping” an image across the screen by modulating their intensity, a coil generating magnetic field and more. The Health Dangers of CRTs • Small amounts of radiation (x-ray frequencies and others) are emitted as the electrons sweep the screen. • At close range, this radiation (literally pulsating fields of energy) puts biological stress on humans, animals and plants. • CRTs also operate at an extremely high voltage, which continues on long after the computer has been turned off. LCD ( Liquid Crystal Display) Screens Radiation - these screens are flatter, often appearing as panels. LCD screens are safer than CRTs. • Display...

...Fluoroscopy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Fluoroscopy | Intervention | A modern fluoroscope | ICD-10-PCS | B?1 | MeSH | D005471 | A barium swallow exam taken via fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a fluoroscope. In its simplest form, a fluoroscope consists of an X-ray source and fluorescent screen between which a patient is placed. However, modern fluoroscopes couple the screen to an X-ray image intensifier and CCD video camera allowing the images to be recorded and played on a monitor. The use of X-rays, a form of ionizing radiation, requires the potential risks from a procedure to be carefully balanced with the benefits of the procedure to the patient. While physicians always try to use low dose rates during fluoroscopic procedures, the length of a typical procedure often results in a relatively high absorbed dose to the patient. Recent advances include the digitization of the images captured and flat panel detector systems; modern advances allow further reduction of the radiation dose to the patient.

...in the overall impact of the film as a whole. There are those that are of the opinion that there has been little, if any, real contributions made by sound in film. Should sound have been added to film at all? A look back at the history of film, from silent movies to “talkies” to major motion pictures of the 1990s, will help establish the fact that film has not only benefited from the addition of sound, but has only gotten more sophisticated with time. “Reevaluating the role of sound in film history and according it its true importance is not purely a critical or historical enterprise. The future of cinema is at stake. It can be better and livelier if it can learn something valuable from its own past” (Chion, 1994, p. 142). There is no argument that, in cinema, it is the image that will continue to radiate power and spectacle. However, the technological and conceptual advances that have been made over the decades reinforce the fact that it is the role of sound to decorate the image and “show” us what it wants us to see on screen. In everyday life, we learn to hear through the experience of hearing, and in doing so we form a specific philosophy about how sound should sound. This philosophy carries over into how we understand film sound. “Though it is typically studied as an independent phenomenon, the history of film sound cannot be properly understood unless it is correlated with the...

...There have been many complaints from parents about their children buzzing around on the internet and in some cases on the news. Many people turn to screen time and social media as the cause of the problem. As a teenager, it is easy to say that screen time and social media definitely affects our behaviour around people and towards ourselves. It affects children’s brains in a negative way leading to narcissism, laziness and antisocialness. All these factors have been proven through scientific research across the world. You’ll rethink the amount of online time you restrict your children to once you read about its harmful effects. Today we are living in what you call the “me, me, me” generation meaning that people of this millennial are all about themselves. According to Joel Stein at Time Magazine, compared to 1982, “58% more college students scored higher on a narcissism scale in 2009...” only five years after facebook was founded and three years after the first iPhone was made. As stated on the scientific blog, ‘Psychology today,’ Doctor Lisa Firestone says studies over the years that make...

The AAP found that hardcover book sales rose 11.5 percent to $778.6 million through August of 2013 while e-book sales were up only 4.8 percent to $647.7 million during that same time. Overall, 2013 total book sales came out to around $15 billion according to AAP, which is up around 14 percent since 2008, with e-books accounting for $3 billion of sales.

...How much quality time have you spent with your friends or family this week? Not much, right? Most of your time is “spent”, or should I say, wasted, on technology. Technology has been extremely overused since it’s so reliable. If you need anything it is there to help. However the over usage of it prevents us from having intimate relationships with people and can cause us to get injured. “Screen Free Week” is an event in which people all around the world try to give up their devices for a week. We too should participate in the “Shut Down Your Screen Week” because during that week it will have a positive effect in our daily lives. The use of technology has severed our ties with people we cherish. Whenever we’re spending time in front of a screen, it distracts us from the fact that we could be using that same time with our family and friends. In the article “Social Media as Community,” it states that studies have shown that Americans today have fewer close relationships that they did twenty years ago. Our technology could have caused our personal relationships to be more distant and less...
