Recent studies show there's an increase in injuries to young children under the age of five because too many parents are distracted by devices and they're not paying attention to their kids. According to Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, professor of psychology at Temple, most people can't focus on two things at once. "We convince ourselves in this new world order that we are somehow able to just process so many things at once, and what we are learning about the human brain is that it just ain't so," she said.

Today Temple is graduating its largest class in school history. More than 9,000 students in cap and gown are receiving their degrees in front of proud family and friends. Antonio Boone of Baltimore, Maryland described the trepidation felt by most new graduates, saying, "It is intimidating because you know it's the real world.... But I think with Temple, being 'Temple Made,' 'Real World Made,' it's prepared us for that."

The Securities and Exchange Commission recently decided to allow publicly traded companies to make material corporate announcements on social media. Temple Fox School of Business accounting professor Steven Balsam said the SEC is also ensuring information is shared fairly and transparently by "requiring companies to disclose that they are going to be disseminating information via social media so people know to look for it or become followers, subscribers, etc."

If you're old enough to drive, are you old enough to vote? You soon will be if you live in Takoma Park, Md. The Washington suburb has extended voting rights in municipal elections to 16 and 17-year-olds. Voting is something younger teenagers should be able to handle, says Temple psychologist Laurence Steinberg, an expert in adolescent brain development. "Adolescents are probably just as good as adults at really taking information and making a logical decision about it," he said. "That doesn't mean they'll always do it logically, but neither do adults."
