The 3D is bad for developing eyes is pretty much accepted (look for warnings on all 3D products). It'll also throw off depth perception for a bit in most people. In order to view the faked 3D effect you have to unlearn how to focus at specific distances. So it's not a good idea for people who are still learning.

Even the Nintendo 3DS has a disclaimer that it is bad for young, developing eyes...

Let's not be so quick to judge. I think he's watching subtitled 1970's French cinema verite.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

At least the kid is eating the "generic" chips. Probably saving up for the new flat screen.

This proves TV is bad for the eyes. As for me with one eye, I won't need to spend the extra money.

I'm holding out for the Holo-deck technology myself! grin

That and a replicator and no one will probably ever hear from me again.

Or to paraphrase Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove: "A fella could have a pretty good weekend with all that stuff..."

ROFLMFAO! laugh

That actually sounds like me as a child!

I actually did go through a very brief "husky boy" phase pre-puberty... Before I shot up to the slim, fit, 6 foot Adonis that I am now... wink

But, I was also an active, army playing, fort building, bike riding, girl terrorizing, bottle rocket battling Boy Scout (yes, there was a merit badge for all that,) instead of the typical, passive, fat, t.v watching, video game playing, socially stunted, low attention span, spoiled dullard American brat of today.
