Nintendo's new Toys

A new product from Nintendo is due out in April of this year. The Nintendo Dsi takes online activities to a new level. One feature that everyone should be aware of is the fact that it has two video camera's. One will be on the face of the user but the other is facing away from the user. So, as your teen is using the device they can be broadcasting or sharing their image but also of their surroundings.

I am not picking on Nintendo for the new features. I can see times where they could be useful for users. It is a reminder that adults need to be aware of the electronic gadgets their kids have and what their capabilities are. Have the discussions of what is acceptable behavior with those devices with your kids. Create an acceptable usage agreement with your kids.
