Roomba 530 robotic vacuum review by consumer advocate Mike Adams Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The more we can get machines to take care of basic household chores (like doing dishes, washing laundry or, in this case, cleaning floors), the more time we all have to spend on other, more meaningful endeavors like watching stupid videos on YouTube and playing video games on the nintendo Wii. On a more serious note, given the number of people who currently suffer from allergies and respiratory problems caused in part by unclean homes, the idea of living in a cleaner home with less dust, hair, dandruff and flakes of dead skin all over the floor is enticing from a health perspective, too.

Slogans such as Xbox's 'Life is short, play more' and Nintendo's 'Life's a game' link the idea of'play' and 'games' with the products of technology. Most children today associate these words not with outdoor play or sport but with virtual, indoor experiences.

The ADHD Fraud: How Psychiatry Makes "Patients" of Normal Children Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D. and Craig Hovey See book keywords and concepts

Shaina said she felt fine and wanted to stay home and play nintendo, but we insisted she be looked at. Shaina brought storybooks and read to us in the car from the time we left until we arrived in his parking lot, which was about 30-35 minutes. We walked hand-in-hand to the pediatrician's office. When we arrived I took off her coat and wrote her name on the clipboard. When I turned to go sit beside her she began to have a grand mal seizure. I screamed for someone to help me and picked her up in my arms and started to run through the door to the examining room for the doctor.

Health in the 21st Century: Will Doctors Survive? Francisco, M.D. Contreras See book keywords and concepts

These costly "toys" fascinate doctors everywhere the way Super nintendo has captured the attention of our children. Though the rest of the world loves to criticize the Americans for the automation of medicine, they are desperately trying to emulate them. Even the University of Austria is giving in to the temptation because medical technology has a spell-casting attraction so powerful that we, the doctors, are as dependent on it as addicts are to their drugs. The achievement that must truly be credited to the American medical industry is the creation of an omnipotent medical marketing machine.

That's not counting the time spent sitting in front of a computer, nintendo, or video game, all of which rev metabolism no more than a nap. "The strongest predictor of childhood obesity is hours spent in front of a television or computer screen," warns Dr. Foreyt.

Say no to nintendo. Aficionados of computer games think nothing of spending a couple of hours fending off aerial bombardments on the gleaming screen. But while you may win the war on aliens, you can lose the game of coddling your eyes. "When we play video games, we get into a hypnosis-like trance," observes Dr. Kaplan. "Our eye muscles become locked in focus, and as a result, we get blurry vision and tired, burning, watery eyes. Our eyes must move in order for vision to be stimulated." If the pull of the game is irresistible, put it on direction of your head movements. Zoom it.
