How to Set Up An IOS Device to be Safer For Kids

I got my first touchscreen phone (an iPhone 3GS, for the technologically curious types) in December of 2009. One of the first apps I installed was something called Make Me A Princess based on a recommendation from an iPhone-owning friend with a similarly aged daughter (four years at the time). Soon after, I found some baby-friendly apps, and found myself sharing my precious my iPhone with my children. Ever since then, my children have been touchscreen users; from my iPhone, to my wife’s, to one of the many old hand-me-down devices I’ve acquired, to the tablets. About a year ago, … Continue reading →

Epic is a computer animated movie whose story is loosely based on the children’s book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs by William Joyce. It tells the story of a world in the forest occupied by two inch tall human-like people (the Leaf Men), their allies (anthropomorphic talking animals including slugs and snails, as well as mythical creatures like jinns) and their enemies (the Boggans, which are humanoid gargoyle looking things), the human scientist obsessed with proving their existence, and his estranged daughter who inadvertently becomes part of their world.
