Is the computer and internet actually making us dumber than previous generations?

Computers are great for getting fast and easy information. But in reality, if someone was stranded in some place for a vacation some how like the rain forest. They would FOR SURE die with no smarts for survival. Its almost as if computers are making our natural intelligence lower, and people dont have near as much vocabulary skills as before. Most people use the sames words everyday including me :(

Family Preparedness Awareness – Make Sure That Your Loved Ones Are Safe and Secure in Their Own Home

Family and loved ones are important in anyone’s life. Safety of every member of the family is the number one concerned in daily activities. In any situation, every member must know what the steps to be taken and procedures when emergency strikes.

Preparedness and awareness are important and should be instilled to everyone. A checklist may help. Kids must also be oriented with emergency preparedness awareness.

Importance of First Aid Kit.
Every home must have a first aid kit. Even if you are working, you should keep one to your car and your workplace. You will never know what will happen to you. From simple cut to burn, the kit must have urgent treatment for these. The kit must contain: bandages, cotton swabs and wool, gauze, scissors, antiseptic fluids or ointment, latex gloves, tweezers, thermometer, CPR mouth piece, antihistamine cream and telephone numbers list for emergency.

Keep your children aware.
It is important to teach your children sample emergency situations. They must be taught what to specifically do, step by step, when certain emergency situations occur. Children must be taught also how to use the telephone, where to call for emergencies as well as the fire exits in the house. Teach them a password or key words, so that in case of emergency they’d know who they will trust with your permission.

Electricity testing.
Sometimes the cause of fire is due to electrical faults. Power, electrical linings and fuse boxes should be checked regularly. Should there are faulty, these should be fixed as soon as possible. When leaving the house, make sure you unplug all appliances to avoid cause of fire.

Health is important. Act now in protecting your family from water borne diseases. Find the best water filter that works for you. Check out what Frigidaire Water Filter offers. Visit http://www.frigidairewaterfilter.net for more information about your family’s health.
