Today’s young kids are practically born with an electronic device in their hands. They grow up with video game systems, television shows on demand, music players and even electronic readers that deliver books and magazines on a whim. They become addicted to online casino games, online chatting with friends and electronic forms of communication that require zero physical activity. How then, are parents supposed to excite their children about playing sports and getting involved with non-digitally fueled activities? It can be challenging, but getting your kids off the couch and onto the soccer field, dance floor or basketball court is vital to their health and well being – both physically and mentally – for the rest of their lives.
I still love the beat and feel like dancing to Shakira’s Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), the official 2010 FIFA World Cup song which features Freshlyground even after almost two months that I first heard about it. It has been almost a month since the World Cup has ended and I saw the making of this video featured in one of the music channels yesterday so I feel like listening to it again and again ~ LSS!
And so that’s how the controversial vuvuzela sounds like! Listen to the video below which I just found in YouTube earlier. Since the FIFA World Cup 2010 started a month ago, I keep hearing this very noisy background when we try to watch a match on the cable TV.
I have heard about the vuvuzela before but I never thought that the rather annoying buzzing sound that I hear on TV is in fact the sound of the vuvuzela! Yeah I know this post is about one month late but hey I know some if not many of you don’t follow the World Cup and may not have heard of this vuvuzela. I just thought the audio of the video coverage was not good every time I try to sit down and watch a match of running and kicking that lasts for 90 minutes. Could you imagine yourself in that soccer stadium watching the matches for an hour and a half then that whole time what you hear is this noise… hear it for yourself!
