my eyes hurt after reading all those posts :)

Author's display

Hi everyone,

So I'm all caught up on the whole Ipad fiasco--here we go!
First of all, Nelson, you're first argument about the Ipad being so amazing because you can do all these things without even having to get up from the couch--well, that wasn't the best argument to win me over. If I had the power, I'd banish all remote controls so that we'd actually have to get up to change the channel/turn off the lights etc.!! Yay for exercise!

Secondly, as you can probably tell from the title of my post, I'm not crazy about reading off of a screen. And Nelson, you just crack me up. I love the way you talk with such confidence about it being a myth, just like carrots being good for yours eyes. Carrots ARE good for your eyes--they have beta carotene and Vitamin A, and you need these to keep your corneas healthy. So there is definitely truth in it. Just like I'm sure there must be some truth in the idea that reading from a screen is bad for your eyes, or at the very least, simply uncomfortable. And I don't need a study to prove that--I can feel the discomfort in my own eyeballs at this very moment as I read from the screen! 88|

I won't argue that the Ipad isn't awesome though. It is. Technology just isn't my bag baby. So that's that.

'Twas fun!
