Video Game Helps Kids Learn Math

Article

This story hardly surprises me.  I'm more surprised this idea hasn't been done a long time ago.  It seems almost inevitable that eventually school districts somewhere would intertwine scholastic activity with one of kids favorite passtimes nowadays: videogames.  The intentions of these games are very good.  It seems like a good learning experience and the kids interviewed in the article all liked math more since playing the game.  Then again, even if a kid admitted to only liking it because it was a video game, I'm sure they wouldn't have put that in their article for people to read.  Right now this is only being spread across a few select schools in New York, but in time, depending on the reaction and results, it could be more widespread.  This is just another of many new innovations attempting to create a more hands-on learning experience for kids in school.

Future of Films: The 3-D Experience

Coming to a theater near you: More 3-D

"Five hollywood studios are helping to pay for a $1 Billion dollar-plus rollout of digital technology on about 20,000 movie theaters in America, as a precursor to showing more movies in 3-D. "

More than 20 3-D movies are set to his theaters through 2010, but not enough areas are equipped to show these films.  That's why theaters across America are slowly getting upgraded with the proper equipment and digital movie players to allow to see movies in 3-D.  This is truly the future of the movie experience.  The biggest downside is that it will definitely cost more for tickets to these movies.  But, if some of the biggest hollywood films can be converted to 3-D format in the future, it should be worth it, since it will be a much more realistic movie experience.  This is probably just the first of many steps to come in the advancement of the movie experience, I wouldn't be surprised if we were actually feeling tangible effects or smelling things straight from the movie screens in the future.  Similar to the Bug's Life show at the Animal Kingdom in Disney.  Definitely worth looking forward to.
