parent is so consumed with what’s on their cell phone, then how will the child receive the proper feedback needed? A shocking study says that “54 percent of the kids said mom and dad check phones or devices too often.” This just shows that children do notice, and can lead to children acting out to grab their parent’s full attention. Overall, too much use of cell phones can lead to neglect for child development and can bring a child to feel like they need to compete over

only child left at home. Unable to participate in activities with them because they were much older, I focused more on my studies and didn't encounter much of a social life outside of school because my parents were so strict; well my dad for that matter. When I was able to engage in activities I had a set curfew and was limited to what I could do. My life had been well-grounded since I was born so it didn't come to much of a surprise; not being able to take part in certain activities. By my sophomore

Ever since I was a teenager I noticed that one of my mom’s biggest wishes was to have the opportunity for her child to go away to a University. Unfortunately she was never going to fulfill that dream though me because I had no intention of going to college. I hated school. My attitude was “college isn’t for everyone” and I let that be known to everyone who even uttered the word “college”. Every Sunday morning my mom would get me up and cook breakfast, we’d sit down at the table as she looked

I think of the cartoon shown on television “The Jetson’s.” I think of the flying cars and homes that you can raise up in the sky if you don’t like the weather. I like the jet pack in which you can fly from place to place instead of drive or walk. My favorite episode of this cartoon is when George gets pulled over for breaking line in traffic by flying his car over the line of traffic and rear ending a police car. I remember that the officer gets out of car and flies over to George and prints him

I remember as a child there was a cartoon that was introduced and it was called the Jetson’s. This television program was a glimpse into our future and we did not know it. There was a telephone on the program when in use you would be able to see the person with whom you were speaking. Wow, we can use this feature now. At this point you may be wondering why I brought this cartoon into this paper, but sitting in front of the computer writing this paper it came to my remembrance. “East Orange

“Go Go Go!” My commanding officer shouts to me as we run down the battle field. I hear footsteps and turn to my left taking out two bogies with a single shot, I tell my friend Jon there are two on his right, they fall as well. We race towards the objective bobbing and weaving through the crossfire bullets whizzing overhead, debris clouding our vision. Closer, closer…CLOSEERRR, grenades are tossed at feet, “GRENADE GET DOWN, GET DOWN!” and then…Blackness. “Huh? What the…” I look up at my mom standing

As a child attending grade school in the 90’s and early 2000’s, I have seen the growth and change of the use of technology in education. The first time I could remember using a computer in school was maybe in the first or second grade. We would go to the computer lab once a week and we only utilized it for learning how to type and to play Oregon Trail. I cannot say that I was very enthused about computer lab at this age; I would have much rather been in P.E. or Art class. Continuing on into middle

dangerous. It's not supposed to just reinforce happy ideals. It's supposed to be challenging.'' (Bogost, 2007, ¶ 14). History The history of video games in this country goes beyond what we as society could have imagined. I remember as child in 1988, begging my sister to let me play Pac-Man on her Atari Game System. The feeling of playing this game with colors and artistic structure that I had never encountered. Many years later I was introduced to a more futuristic video game system Nintendo
