PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 29, 2013 (Press-News.org) In creating its kid-friendly tablet, the staff at Oregon Scientific reviews what young tech users need in order to learn in today's ever-expanding digital world. Throughout the years, many have argued that non-interactive technology--such as television--can inhibit brain development in young minds; however, new research suggests that interactive tools may actually do the opposite. As a company specializing in resources for youth entertainment and education, Oregon Scientific highlights a recent article from TIME which showcases this new research.
The article explains, "The American Academy of Pediatrics has repeatedly warned that screen time for children under the age of 2 is a no-no. Why? Research suggests it delays language development and can disrupt sleep. Generally speaking, we know that interacting directly and routinely with your child is paramount when it comes to hitting established developmental milestones." However, TIME continues to note that this observation does not necessarily mean all forms of technology are a negative influence on youth development.
The article cites new information coming from the BBC which reveals, "The BBC...found, a little surprisingly, several researchers voting for the potential of screens to enhance early learning. The key: the screens had to involve a two-way flow of information, responding to user input instead of delivering information passively." In response to this new insight, Meep reviews that in order for technology to have a positive impact on young minds, there has to be a blend of interaction and parent involvement.
In a recent press statement, Meep reviews, "At Oregon Scientific, we believe strongly in moderation when it comes to kids interacting with technology. While it can create an amazing amount of intellectual growth when used effectively, we also think that healthy time limits are imperative. This is why we include the ability for parents to set meaningful time limits for activities in the parental portal. Parents are able to structure the tablet use how they see fit and in a way that is best for their child."
As such, the team at Oregon Scientific explains that parents who are wary of technology may not necessarily have to ban their kids from using innovative, helpful resources--such as tablets. Instead, the company encourages parents and educators to stay aware of their child's use of technology and not use tablets, video games and other resources as "babysitters."
"The parental portal associated with our device allows parents to have control over many features of the Meep Tablet. They can set time limits for screen time. Remote access allows them to view the games played, websites visited, and keywords searched by their children. Access is customizable depending on the parents' preferences and the children's needs. Games are educational and child-friendly. The Meep Tablet was developed to give children a tablet created just for them, but still controlled by parents," Meep reviews in its conclusion.
ABOUT:
Oregon Scientific, creator of the Meep reviews the best ways to encourage children to learn through use of interactive tablet technology. As such, this tech company manufactures and markets the high quality tablets for children aged six to 11. Instead of creating tablets that are not appropriate or durable for children, the company is passionate about developing top-notch tablet technology designed for entertainment and learning with many safe and customizable options.

Golf Enthusiast Troy Reddell Remarks on Controversial New Ruling
2013-05-29
The rules of golf are hardly set in stone; on the contrary, various professional organizations are at liberty to change the rules whenever they like--and according to amateur golfer Troy Reddell, this is not necessarily a positive thing for golf lovers. Reddell says a recent ruling from the U.S. Golf Association, outlawing the anchored putt, is especially vexing, despite the fact that the anchored putt is illegal in many other international golf organizations. Reddell has issued a new statement to the press, offering his side of the U.S. Golf Association decision.

My Spiny Senses Are Tingling
2013-05-29
You know that strong tingling you get running down your spine when you hear the word math?
Mathematical universals are innate within the genome, thus brain, which science has long proven to be the case. They too are due to "Brain Relativity" and have an important factor in evolving language. When one looks at relativity closely one can see that three principles are derived from the theory. I will list them as space, time and distance, and they are given as examples below:
One space plus one space equals two spaces

2013-05-29
Commuting to work while still drowsy after a night of fitful sleep could be a recipe for an accident. Drowsy driving is the cause of many California car accidents, but often goes underreported. When another driver causes an accident while suffering from severe fatigue it can be difficult to prove.
A recent Sacramento accident involved a driver who fell asleep behind the wheel, according to the California Highway Patrol. The early April morning crash occurred when the driver went off the road and crashed into a tree. Because of the timing of the accident, it is possible ...
