Marshmallow Dreams

I found this on the BBC blog, but i thought i was quite entertaining yet relevant. Watch this experiment conducted with marshmallows, kids, and sheer gut-wrenching visceral temptation. But in a way this is how we still are. Kids can be simple reflections of our complex adult persona. But this can also operate as a simple reminder for us...have at it.

This is an article that i found pretty interesting. The article talks about the development of children from the time they are born through their ascension in age and their compatibility with technology. In the digital realm that we have created where children use cell phones and technology holds a special place in their heart, it is imperative that this society understands how children develop in an attempt to keep them stimulated and not stymie their development so that when they become individuals on their own they are not mentally inept.

So it was from the New York Times and the link is: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/12/technology/personaltech/12basics.html
