I love these videos where kids react to technology.  They take an old piece of technology or an old video and let kids play or watch it, and then they get their reactions.    This time the kids are given a Game Boy.

This is great news for migraine sufferers.  The FDA has just approved a device that looks like a Space Tiara to help prevent migraines.  The device is called Cefaly.  It is said to relieve and prevent migraines.  It has been used in Canada and now with FDA approval it will be available in the U.S.

WikiBear is a new bear that can answer all sorts of questions.  I would call this the Teddy Ruxpin of this generation.  It is fully interactive and can have conversations with kids.   Where Teddy Ruxpin would work with cassettes, Wikibear works off of an app connected by  Bluetooth and the internet.  It's like a teddy bear/Siri mix.

This week, the big theme in our house has been focused on technology. Specifically, how it should *not* be used. My children have iPod's and/or tablet devices. There are rules.

Another update is coming today for your iPhone and iPads.  It seems that the new iOS 7 brings a bunch of change.  So what kind of change are you looking at?

Technological advancement is a great thing. What would we do without it?

Wall-E was a cute Disney/Pixar movie and you cannot help but fall in love with that cute little trash compacting robot.  Apparently I'm not the only one who fell in love with Wall-E.  A builder named, Michael McMaster,  actually created a life-sized Wall-E and it is amazing.

Don't you hate it when your cell phone rings with an weird local number?  You answer the call only to find out that it is someone halfway across the world trying to sell you Viagra, or you find yourself listening to an annoying recording.  The FTC is having a contest to find a person that can create something to stop those unwanted calls.

If you are like me, you hate shopping for clothes.  I can never find anything that fits perfectly.  For me that is frustrating.  I wear one size in this brand, a different size in this brand.  I look in my closet and see 2 or 3 different sizes.  I just wish clothing manufacturers could get together and agree on the same sizes.  Now that isn't going to happen but there is now new technology that ca
