Crackberry for Sale ($160/each O.B.O.)

Are these things even worth anything? They were freebies but I thought they were pricey . . . let me check . . . okay, it says they retail for $350, but they're selling them for $49.99 with 2 year contracts (which we just had to buy our way out of.) Hells bells. But at least I'm not getting my MA in Media!!!

A Degree in Media

Nielsen, the ratings company, recently reported that kids ages 2 to 5 spend an average of 32 hours a week in front of a screen, outpacing older kids (children 6 to eleven are second, averaging 28 hours a week, with researchers thinking that school keeps them from first place).

Thirty-two hours a week is practically a full-time job! Twenty-eight hours a week is more than a (semester of) college education. Do we really want our children to be getting a degree in media watching???
