Toddler Ipad Addicts Need Therapy! Read the article here! 

This article is alarming, but not surprising. Dr Graham who launched the UK's first technology addition program three years ago, said that young technology addicts experienced the same withdrawal symptoms as alcoholics or heroin addicts, when the devices were taken away.

He warned that the condition prevented young people from forming normal social relationships, leaving them drained by the constant interaction.

It's strange to think of technology as dangerous addiction and compared to hardcore drugs like heroine.
Ipads like heroine. It's definitely a critical issue to consider.

Weirdly Compelling Sculptures of Dissected Pop Culture Characters

Well, these are weird. Brooklyn-based artist Jason Freeny’s work, which we spotted at Beautiful Decay, revolves around the idea of exploring what lies beneath the shiny veneer of pop culture. His sculptures do this a way that’s both conceptually interesting and really rather disconcerting — they’re bold, cartoonish figurines of instantly recognizable toys and characters with their flesh peeled back to reveal the skeleton and organs beneath. The result is somewhere between Disney and Gunther von Hagens. You can see more of Freeny’s work at his website.
