“The truth about online shopping” is about the impact increased online shopping is having on the environment around us. Since people want things in two days they prefer online shipping which increases the amount of waste product in the packets… Not to mention the excessive amounts of fuels being used to transport consumers packages. In person purchases will have an impact on the environment by stopping the need to ship packages, utilizing your own transportation to get there. If you choose to purchase your products online it is encouraged to select the slower shipping route. This allows retailers to take their time in selecting routes with fewer miles, so they can save fuel. 

“Many babies and toddlers use mobile devices everyday” by Claie McKathy is about the increased use of screens at young age causing developmental problems. Parents use these devices to their own advantage to keep their kids quiet, help put them to sleep, and even get them to do chores. At a restaurant it was observed that the majority of parents were on their phone and ignoring their children. A parent’s interactions with their children are vital to them for the development of their brains. It is encouraged to stick to color books, reading spy books, or interacting with their kids instead of using a screen to “keep them calm.”
