Ipod volume has always been the talk of the town. I think that it's interesting to know about the damage that can possibly be done to your ears by listening to a simple song. Let me put emphasis on the words: long term, so no you won't go deaf tomorrow more like when you're 40. The article is talking about how listening to loud music for certain periods of time. I only skimmed it but the phrases "concerned parents" and "some say" came up often. I'm not sure if they even bothered to ask us..

For the TV Lover:

This is a short article. Basically "concerned parents" again asking if their children will be harmed by sitting too close to the TV. So it looks like no matter what you are staring at your eyes are working. The site suggests some tips for long term TV watching.

This is weird. "Some say" that if kids are acting up in school blame cell phone usage. Basically the article is saying that mothers in Denmark who talked on the phone excessively during pregnancy may have altered the behavior in their children. A study was taken for children up to age 7 in 1993 linked to their academics.

So the first article is saying that texting could be doing horrible damage to your hand and wrist muscles. "Some suggest" that you need to take routine breaks during texting (which may defeat the purpose, texting is supposed to be quick) The second is explaining how texing can make people horrible spellers. "Critics say" that texting can lead to sloppiness.
