Use the Holiday Movie Cheer-O-Meter to Decide What to Watch

It’s hard not to love the sights, sounds and smells of the season—the Christmas lights on every house. The wonderful smell of pine trees. The peppermint mocha lattes!

 But for every person who’s been waiting all year round to don their overly festive holiday sweater, there’s another who just can’t get into the spirit. Most of us find ourselves falling in the middle, somewhere between Buddy the Elf and the Grinch. But no matter where you fall on the cheer-o-meter, there’s a character to sympathize with on the season’s best movies, shows and TV specials.

 Use our Holiday Hero Cheer-O-Meter to find what you’re in the mood to watch this winter:

The Holidays are almost here and although they can be joyful and dazzling, they can also be incredibly stressful, especially when you have to travel. Here are a few gadgets to help make your Holiday travels a winter’s breeze.

Trying to remember a time before the World Wide Web, personal computers, iPads, and smart phones is comparable to trying to imagine a time before there were cars and highways.  How did we ever get anything done?  The advantages of the information age allow humankind to access and share massive amounts of information, perform commerce, and interact across diverse populaces on a grander and more rapid way than ever imagined when that first Apple PC appeared the late 1970s.  However, as with all great and amazing human achievements and technology advances, new dangers and threats emerge that we must defend against.

There seems to be a limited amount of ways to scare people, as the same themes keep popping up in every scary movie, horror film, and Halloween TV special. But, that doesn’t stop us from enjoying them. In fact, sometimes these repeated motifs are half the fun! From psychotic killers bent on revenge, to teens who never seem to have cell service, to cars that won’t start when a killer is in chase, it’s the time of year when we get to enjoy a bit of a scare. Below is a list of just a few of the Halloween shows hitting the airwaves over the next few weeks.

We asked one of our ImOn intern, a recent college grad, to share some ideas on key devices they would recommend for college students.-

College is your child’s first step into adulthood, they’re away from their family for the first time, and they have to start worrying about classes, future jobs and the worst… student loans. While technology can’t solve all those problems… it can help them ease into their future. Here are some key devices to help get them through college:
