But i would be glad if Google would fix the flaws with Android in the lack of a media store. Because with this one, Google is obviously trying to remedy that situation. Anyway, whether they are successful or not we have yet to see, but I still believe in Google products. I have my fingers crossed hoping for an invite to Music Beta so I can take a look at it, but the longer Google takes in rolling this out, the harder it will be for them to draw users from Amazon.

Bit off topic but on the same vein I will say if netflix doesnt get with the program with android its going to hurt both android and netflix big time. Google offering movies is a step in the right direction. Im skeptical about the cloud music app though... we'll see if it doesnt get shut down. Remember the google library? Great article Chris.

After a child comes home from their studies they shold be OUTSIDE playing, forming relationships, and even fighting. It is the only way to make our children stronger and to help them get the street smarts that they will need, Oh yeah and I'm not some good 56 year old guy who grew up without computers. I am 20, and just graduated high school 2.5 years ago. Parents need to stop taking their kids to Applebees, and Mcdonalds every night, and instead cook healthy dinners while their children play OUTSIDE and learn to deal with life.

Maybe I am wrong but I do not think the following is a sign of good grammar. "And not to mention us 4 are the type of teens that eat…and eat….and eat…..I couldn’t go on enough." Just my opinion. Sure they can program the DVD player but how many of them can cook a meal that doesn't involve the microwave. I think the information age is producing kids that have less practical knowledge. Perhaps that will not be a problem when we no longer have cars that require tires that can go flat. Or maybe it is not a problem now since with their cell phone they can just call AAA.

There are times for spending time at the computer, and times for running outside on the grass, getting swetty, falling down and scraping your knee into a bloody pulp while getting some moist soil full of microbes shoved up your nose! I am 56 years old and I spend a great amount of time on my laptop. As for the latter part, I do that with my grand daugter. I grew up on THE DOORS and Jimmy Hendrix. Now I am learning to play the viola and learning a great deal about music theory and classical music. To help me learn I watch and listen to youtube all the time and use tutorials on the NET.

Today's children are living in an unreal world of lighted screens where the printed words and images are taken for "communication" and reality. But they don't know how to related one and one to flesh and blood folks. And by the way, rock and roll has been our undoing...it spelled the end of real musical skill, of beauty in art, of grace, and ushered in the age of loud, trashy, vulgar, gracelss noise. And TV DID become the babysitter for millions. Result? Generations now of dimwitted boobs who think the world is in a lighted box. Nicks is right on.
