What My Kids Love Now
I have no kids.
House Rules
There are no rules.
When the Kids Are Asleep…
Everything.
My Biggest Challenge Is:
overcoming the obstacle that is CommonSenseMedia.org. This site has become permeable, allowing careless and biased articles to be submitted. Despite my irritation, the problem lies not with the "reviews" (if one can label them as such). Rather, it comes with the fact that there are REAL parents (yes, tangible and quite mailable) are poring over this site. . .AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY BELIEVING MOST OF WHAT IS SAID!!! How?! Why?! The case studies often described by CommonSense's committee are mere observations (opinions and qualitative data, no real facts, with evidential support!). I from now on deny any and all of CommonSenseMedia's articles until a scrupulous inspection of their "sources" is performed. As I comprehend it, CommonSenseMedia's articles are assuredly pure, outlandish, garbage.

Tech Tip: Checking Browser Histories
Your Comments:Okay, I recently went back over this article and saw the response to my name. So here is what I did: I connected and disconnected to the internet three times in a row, doing different actions each time. I benchmarked my computer's performance and ran diagnostics using advanced system care pro to determine different values of different areas that my computer was affected by. And here are the results: Trial 1. Connected and Disconnected. Viewed home page (Google Basic), went to CommonSenseMedia.org home. Duration: 00:00:07. PC's performance degraded by: 0.12%. Advanced System Care detects: 89 problems, 7.8MB of junk files in the browser's allocated memory. Cleared my Cache, deleted browsing history, corrected the problems. Trial 2. Connected and Disconnected. Viewed home page (Google Basic), went to Facebook.com home. Logged into Facebook. Checked my home page for a short while. Duration: 00:02:32 PC's performance degraded by: 0.09% (I had defragmented all partitions and my registry in between my trials, so naturally the computer performance is slightly better). Advanced System Care detects: 178 problems, 26.9MB of junk files in the browser's allocated memory. Cleared my Cache, deleted browsing history, corrected the problems. Trail 3 (This is where it gets fun). Connected and Disconnected. Viewed home page (Google Basic), went to ArmorGames.com. Played ThingThing Arena 3. Noticed several dynamic ads to either side of the screen. Duration: 00:12:19 PC's performance degraded by: 0.67% Advanced System Care detects: 420 problems, 63.7MB of junk files in browser's allocated memory. Cleared my Cache, deleted browsing history, corrected the problems. Now, notice, these are single trials really (they do not build upon the impact of the last one as I correct everything before starting a new). Imagine not doing any maintenance, not clearing out any junk, not fixing the problems that a browser just naturally creates, for weeks, or months! It can truly build up, and then severely degrade performance, like I previously stated. Also, a fun fact on the last trial, I picked up a Trojan from ArmorGames.com....the things I deal with to prove a point.

Your Comments:I'd normally be up to debating it, but after reading some of the opinions on here I don't even have the will to combat so much idiocy; so, in short, I just wish some of these parents would get a life and just let their kids' lives be; new generation, new society, new lifestyle.

Active Gaming Tips
Your Comments:robert999: "And don't say it's a study when it is an observation or an opinion." THANK YOU! Too many times have I been browsing this site and have seen nothing but a flagrant, outlandish observation labeled as a "RECENT STUDY" or a "BREAKING STUDY;" All I really see of this site (rather, the web host and the owners of the domain) is a group of parents, who, in order to fill some primal need to cause havoc, create a biased and unregulated place that causes myself, and many others, copious levels of irritation and displeasure. CommonSenseMedia, again I say to you, do some actual RESEARCH and REVIEW your media before you write anything, otherwise you just give us, the proud (can we really say this though?) members of your website, the same old story again: "We're mad at this [insert media], we read the back cover, that's pretty much good enough, let's go ahead and submit, and we'll fix it in post."

Tech Tip: Checking Browser Histories
Your Comments:Some of us also like to clear our browsing history because it gets rid of unnecessary junk files that slow down your PC, and in turn, absolutely decimate computer performance (for high end tasks, such as media compilation, multitasking, and of course, GAMING). So just a heads up: do not be so quick to assume the history is gone for malevolent reasons.
