Fifty seven percent of shoppers last week purchased some type of electronics, making it the second most popular product after clothing. Of those, 39% bought video game accessories, 37% bought portable MP3 or digital media players, 36% bought video game consoles, 34% bought digital cameras, 29% bought computers, 26% bought televisions, and 24% bought laptop computers. Our daily exposure to digital media is unprecedented. The new generation of children who don&#8217;t know the world that existed before the internet, are especially vulnerable to the overwhelmingly digital media diet. A new documentary called Play Again, featured in this year&#8217;s Artivist Film Festival, explores what&#8217;s at stake for our collective future as young people increasingly lose touch with nature and experience their lives and relationships almost exclusively through a touch screen and headphones. Centered on a group of young kids with serious attachments to video games, cell phones, and TV, Play Again offers a glimpse into what is possible when children are reconnected to nature. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Lowan Stewart, Executive Producer of Play Again<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Play Again is screening on Friday December 4th, 12 noon as part of the 7th Annual Artivist Film Festival, at the Egyptian Theater, 6712 Hollywood Blvd in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n<p>Find out more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.playagainfilm.com\">www.playagainfilm.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Find out about the Artivist Film Festival at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artivist.com\">www.artivist.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Retailers reported that this year electronics purchases were up 3% compared to last year&#8217;s Black Friday, post-Thanksgiving shopping mania.
