Seriously, that pictures is of me wearing something called "My Vu" goggles.  The goggles are connected to your video iPod or Zune, and you are completely immersed in your media experience -- the video plays within the goggles, and you have sound piped in through earbuds in your ears. My colleague described it as the sensation of "Tommy," which is apt.  And while the experience of being completely lost in a movie oblivious to the outside world is pretty cool (and disorienting), this is definitely one piece of technology I would NOT want to bring home. If you think your kids get lost in video games or cartoons, I suspect they would be completely lost in the My Vu. 

Later today I will be attending the Sandbox Summit, which is a series of discussions around kids and technology. I'm very much looking forward to it, both personally and professionally.
