What 9-13 Year Old Kids Think OF Facebook

As time goes on more and more kids re moving away from Facebook. It has become a predominately adult site. More and more kids are moving to Instagram or Tumblr and not even creating Facebook profiles at all. Some of them seem to think that when they become of age to get a profile that Facebook will be long gone.

I strongly agree with them. There is nothing to do on Facebook anymore. It is only a way to keep in touch with family and map out your life without the daily emotion really. More people use other sites away from the eyes of their families to do that. I only go on Facebook one in a blue moon to change my profile picture or check in. It is really an unnecessary distraction that will suck up all your time. The only thing teenagers really do on Facebook anymore is stalk other people.

Young Kids React to a Realistic Doll

Kids in a private elementary school were asked a series of questions then Shown tow dolls, a realistic one and a classic doll. As they looked at the realistic doll many of them commented how pretty she was and how she resembled their relatives and in some cases themselves. When asked about the life of this doll verses a classic one many of them said she looked like she could be a teacher or a pilot as opposed to fashion star.

I think it’s about time that a realistic doll was marketed. Our childhoods greatly affect our futures and if more little girls focused on fantasies such as becoming a teacher not a fashion star they would accomplish more. These girls can’t achieve all their fantasies when they are trying to be someone unobtainable and someone so very unhealthy. 

Three Men Who Make a Living Playing Video Games

Three roommates are making a living just by playing video games every day. Just like watching a TV show or listening to the radio, the audience is able to watch the guys play. A lot of viewers watch at work and find it very entertaining. The three guys are able to make a living off of this.

I think it would be really cool to make money from a hobby you love. If you enjoy playing video games and you are able to survive doing that then do it. I don't know how healthy or sustainable the job is but it sounds like fun. 

20 Year Old College Student is Considered 'The Best Technology Reviewer On The Planet'

Marques Brownlee is considered 'The Best Technology Reviewer on the Planet' thanks to his fame on YouTube. He stated off making videos of his gold=f swing for others to judge and slowly faded into tutorials and reviews of new technology. Over time his followers grew and so did his outreach. Many people find his videos informational interesting and well put together.

The creation of YouTube opened up many opportunities for people young and old to connect with others. For people like Marques it has taken them to a place they never could have reached without it. It has become a job for some and for others it is more of a hobby. At only 20 years old, Marques was able to help so many people with their technology and teach the world a little bit about how its tech works.  

The Stupidity Behind 'Eaten Alive'

The Discovery Channel is claiming to be working on a new show in which they will try to get a snake to swallow a live man. In a protective suit a scientist is to enter the snake and somehow be safely removed. This is pretty much physically impossible and very risky to the safety of the snake and the man. 

There is no need to try to perform such a stunt and it almost guarantees the death of the snake. The show would purely be for entertainment purposes and would provide no scientific information on snakes. People are such idiots and they want to do cool things for attention and recognition. They are paying no attention to the dangers and difficulties they would have to overcome.

Atari's Biggest Flop

In 1983 Atari came out with the game "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" which failed miserably. Atari was so ashamed that they were rumored to have collected all unsold games up and buried in the New Mexico desert. This was all just a rumor until the games were dug up by Microsoft recently to be sold on eBay. They can be purchased for anywhere between $100 to $800.

I think it’s funny how Atari's game that they were so ashamed about is now making a lot of money just because it was so bad. They tired to cover up their flop by literally burring it but it just made people more interested and brought attention to it. I don't think I’d ever pay that much for a bad game. 

Harvard Students Try To Pass Louisiana's 1964 Literacy Test

In order to vote in Louisiana in 1964 you had to score a 1000 on their timed literacy test. Recently the same test was given to Harvard students and it was made clear how ridiculously hard and impossible it was. It was basically an unspoken taunt at those who wanted nothing more than to have a say in their county. Their right t vote was being taken away by those who wanted t control the government.

I think the test is so insane. Today many more subtle challenges are in place to try to control voters and weigh outcomes of elections. The state is basically laughing in the face of those who want to vote and dangling it in front of their face. Everyone knew what was going on but it was just unspoken. 

Tesela's Early Hiring Ritual

When Tesla first started up many people laughed at the idea of high performance electrical cars and they set out to prove them wrong. When Malcolm Smith, one of Tesela's earliest employees rode in the tzero with co-creator Martin Eberhard he was blown away by the torque. When Eberhard asked him to touch the dashboard he took off before his hand got there. This demonstrated all that this incredible car and idea had to offer. This became a ritual with many early employees of the company before they were hired.  

The whole premise behind Tesla is incredible. They have been able to work with a new breed of car. The little game they used to play with early potential employees is very cool. Its a way to demonstrate the brand and get them hooked on the power. 

A Chick-fil-A Manager Bans Common Slang Words

Allegedly a Chick-fil-A manager posted a list of slang words that were banned in the workplace. The list included words like bae, bruh, fool and many more. The list encourages professionalism in the workplace and respect for others.

It seems as if the manager and employees have a good relationship. They are able to joke about the list while still presumably respecting it. Though the list may seem unreasonable it is important for a professional to use good language. A customer and coworker should be treated with the up-most respect.

Man Trapped in a Store Wall For Three Days

After falling through the roof of a Marshal's a Colorado man is trapped in the wall of the department store for three days. With no food, water, light or heat he is lucky he isn't worse off. He hasn't been arrested yet but he is suspected of attempted burglary. 

The temperatures reached single digits during the three days he was trapped which I believe was punishment enough for his failed robbery attempt. The irony of the situation is great because not only was he trapped by the store but he was so close to what he wanted for the three days while also being punished. He is lucky that workers were able to hear him and alerted the authorities of he could have frozen to death within a few days.

Sexism In Victoria's Secret

Upon entering a Victoria's Secret store, men are instantly treated differently. It's obvious how shopping in such a store can make men uncomfortable and make them just want to buy what they need and get out. To meet sales quotas sales people often direct them to the higher priced products and away from sales.

It's funny how a store created for men to shop for women without feeling uncomfortable capitalizes on the uneasiness and makes money off of them. Women know how to take their time and find a good deal so its not possible for the same to be done on them. Victoria's Secret now appeals to women because they make up majority of the customer base.
