TEXT I
"Don't eat too much MSG, you'll be stupid later!"

Surely you are no stranger to jokes like that which said, people who often eat food with mickey are synonymous with "stupid".
Especially now that many are calling millennials who are "all-instant" as the "micin generation". Many people even say that
consuming MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) can damage the brain.

As it turns out, the statement "MSG makes you stupid" is not a true fact.
As we know, the main ingredient of MSG is glutamic acid. Glutamic acid itself is actually found in many other food ingredients.
Like tomatoes, mushrooms, soy sauce, and cheese. So, why are people afraid of glutamate in MSG, when in fact we also
consume glutamate from tomatoes, mushrooms, soy sauce and cheese?

The Food and Drug Administration, a kind of America's BPOM, has stated that MSG is a safe ingredient for consumption. Even
the WHO and the Indonesian Ministry of Health have not banned the use of MSG in the dishes we eat every day. Because, there
is no scientific evidence that can justify the myth that eating MSG can make one stupid.

MSG itself has many benefits for metabolism in the intestine. MSG helps metabolism in the body become easier. Indeed, using
MSG will have an excessive effect, but that can happen if MSG is consumed in excess. However, you should avoid consuming
foods that contain MSG in excess or no more than 1.7 grams per day.

If consumed in excess, MSG can damage nerve receptors in the brain. This can stimulate the hypothalamus part of the brain as
a receptor and make the brain work more actively.
This condition can cause the death of neurons that work as a cognitive function of the brain. As a result, a person will feel
headaches or dizziness if they often consume foods that contain excessive MSG.

TEXT I I
Television was once the newest technology in our homes, and then came videos and computers. Today’s children are
growing up in a rapidly changing digital age that is far different from their parents. A variety of technologies are all
around us in our homes, offices, and schools. When used wisely, technology and media can support learning children’s
relationships both with adults and their peers.

Based on some evidence by research, there has never been a more important time to apply principles of development
and learning when considering the use of cutting-edge technologies and new media as the so-called interactive media.
Interactive media refers to digital and analog materials, including software programs, applications (apps), some
children’s television programming, e-books, the Internet, and other forms of content designed to facilitate active and
creative use by young children and to encourage social engagement with other children and adults.
When the integration of technology and interactive media in early childhood programs is built upon solid
developmental foundations, and early childhood professionals are aware of both the challenges and the opportunities,
educators are positioned to improve program quality by intentionally leveraging the potential of technology and media
for the benefit of every child.

This statement provides guidance for early childhood educators about the use of technology and interactive media in
ways that can optimize opportunities for young children’s development. In this statement, the definition of technology
tools encompasses a broad range of digital devices such as computers, tablets, multi-touch screens, interactive
whiteboards, mobile devices, cameras, audio recorders, electronic toys, games, e-book readers, and older analog
devices still being used such as tape recorders, record and cassette players, projectors, and microscopes.
By appropriately and intentionally using the technology of his day—broadcast television—to connect with each
individual child and with parents and families, it demonstrated the positive potential of using technology and media in
ways that are grounded in principles of child development.
