    What do you think about the new built-in dvd players in cars? I can see how they would have a definite purpose on long trips and such, but do you think they could just add to the time that children vegetate in front of the tv? I’ve heard of situations where kids want to watch a dvd even if they are only going to be in the car for a few minutes.

    True !
    It can be very nice for long trips, preparing kids to sleep…
    But, this instant media should not become the same as junk food is… Othewise, kids may become not only veggies, but also fat and lazy.

    Yeah exactly, its really a blessing and a curse. Actually it would be nice if you could wire it so it would only work if the cruise control was on! :haha:

    Society has been turned into little creampuffs.

    Kids watching the tube in the car instead of
    looking at the sites!!

    Also, what about a DVD player in the front of the vehicle??? icon_eek.gif

    The driver is watching the tube instead of the road!
    That used to be illegal. Don’t know if they changed the law or not.

    Yeah that could be an issue, its pretty clear the number of accidents would dramatically increase! icon_eek.gif
