Redo of previous day's blog

All right, so my blog post from yesterday turned out to be too short, I didn't know this one would be more important than the others, so I'm going to redo it. As mentioned before, I didn't do as much work this week as I should have. Aside from gathering more sources, the only other thing I worked on was reading through them. I've been able to find some very promising ones, providing me with information I can use to further explain and convince others of the argument being made, as well as being helpful in finding a solution. The one problem with the solution is that if we really were to implement something to make the change it would involve forcing parents to both take/give stuff to their kids, and I don't think any solution is one where someone has to be forced to do something. Parents shouldn't be told how to control their kids (not all the time, there are some circumstances.) I have a lot of visuals I can use, but something I think would look pretty professional on it would be some scientific graphs. I'm going to search for some of those, there have to be some out there proving something. Once a graphs involved, everyones convinced. That's just the way the world works for some reason.

I have been continuing research in the field of the use of electronics during childhood development. Many of the articles I've been finding haven't been focusing entirely on what I'm looking for which is the antisocial aspect that's attached to kids using electronics too much and a reliance built around it. Most of what I've been coming across has been how playing video games causes aggression and makes people want to murder others for some reason. That's something I want to address in my final project. I'm actually all for electronics being used by children, it's an essential part of growing up and does very much help with learning. Many of my own fondest childhood memories are getting up early on Saturday mornings to play Gamecube, but in no way do I think electronics make people violent. It forces me to narrow my searches down to very specific phrases because I want to avoid the confusion between the two. I have a list a links which I'm going through, compiling information in a word document, and I'm still thinking of doing a documentary type video in the end.
