What I want to know is...


Who's running that cursor? Does that mean Dora's supposed to be in a computer?

reply

Yah i Think so anyway This show is compleetly idiotic and needless to say stupid and boring one episode realy made me mad for some reason the episode whier doras mom calls dora and asks for her help and her moms trying to find a lost jewl because shes an archolgist. ok first of all thiers somthing wrong with this picture here why is dora home alone shes in her moms house for peeps sake! Doras mom is really stupid if she needs help from a little 3 or 4 year old and why isent her mom watching dora!? shouldent doras mom be babysitting her oh no just leave your young loved ones at home alone especially alone with a boy! why should her mom be depending on dora to help her out when shes a long way from dora how can she trust a little 4 or 3 year old to be independent like that? and most importantly why does dora depende on you so much to help her out everyone on that cartoon or computer software is stupid or eiter on a bad acid trip i seriously dont know any more im depressed.

Snake41176, the show was made for little kids. Nick Jr. is for preschoolers.

PS - You should really learn to spell.

snake41176, I understand your opinion about how you think the writers should have made Dora at home or at school. The show is about imagination and it is actually educational, and you even get to learn a little Spanish. The writers made it so the kids could interact with Dora, and Diego as well. It wouldn't really even be a show if Dora was at home or at school. I do though, feel that they should show Dora's mother once in a while. Maybe put her in the beginning or something, so Dora can tell her she's going out to play, then she walks into her own little imaginary world. On "Go, Diego Go!" (Diego is Dora's cousin I think), you see Diego's mother quite often as well as Alicia. Both shows are for kids and similar, but Dora is more on her own in her imagination (educational though), and Diego is more fun, with the animals and such, rather than educational.

Dora's actually suppose to be 6 years old. But I get your point

reply

I think I'm going to elaborate this point.

If Dora is on the computer, does that mean the pre-schooler is operating the mouse?

If this is the case why is the computer program expecting you to speak back to the computer? Even so why do we teach the child to speak to a TV?

I understand that the PC microphone is a normal input device, computer recognition software is far from accurate, especially for someone still learning english. Also a pre-schooler learning both english and spanish aught to have an even harder time with the voice recognition software. Imagine it then trying to recgonize spanish words from someone who is still learning the basics of their first language.

My 4 year old neice has been watching dora since she was about 1. I can barely understand her especially when she is asked to repeat her sentence in spanish. Lord help the software try to decipher it. My brother-in-law also take extra measures to have her pronounce words in "ebonics" even though he generally doesn't speak in that dialect. I think we're testing the very limits of the software at this point.

Mmm ya guys are trying to over analyiz a show for little kids. But if you watch the opening of the show. I think Dora is a made up character for a made up world of a kid. Or Dora herself is in her own imagenation and everything is happening in her room or back yard.

But that's just my personal take on things.

Thank you! for everyone's support! I have greatly apreciated the number of replys I have recived remember that your opinion is important to me. Im sorry for not posting sooner I have been busy with school work and such also keep in mind the only time I have access to a computer is through the school. I would really like to geta job as a assistant director or maybe a script writer for a cartoon show preferbally dora because it would be a easy show to work with due to it's childish simplicity and uncomplex story line I thought I might start out with writing suggestions and having people to support my ideas. Now I realize this show is just for little kid's and maybe the script writer's just write down some stuff just to make money but do to it's simplicity this show could actully be better and more efficent because this show has a lot of room to work with since the writer's obviously wrote down some fairly linear and simplistic episode script's but because of that, this is what make's this show have potential. however in my opinion I can already tell that they messed up some stuff in the in beginning by letting dora just go off by herself like that and the part whier she always needs your help I mean if you seriously think about what is happening during the show most normal people would be confused ill admit that I was. I say this because at the beginning of the show you see a computer and then it show's dora on the screen of the computer which begs the answer to the question is dora really a real person or a fictional person? This show is really confusing now even though I dont even watch the show I can remember only bit's and piece's from the show since I dont have a television because I only know so much about the show, I dont know every single exzact detail which is why I wasent entirely sure how old dora is. But with that said im still confused if dora even exsists.To be honest my english teacher Mrs.Hibbard is the person who got me curious about dora the explorer. I knew thier was a nick jr. show called dora the explorer because I watched a little bit of it when I was 16 years old at my baby sitters house wehen she was watching her husbands stepchild haaley who was only 5 or 6 years old at that time maybe I thought dora was 3 years old because mrs hibbard told me she was taking her 3 year old daughter to the dora the explorer concert a little whiles back anyway I feel it would be intresting if dora infact is a real person to have her mom follow her in evry episode. however even if I was a script weriter I would take that position very seriously however because becasue of the vast amount of cpmpettion and critiques out thier im not sure if I would be abel to have that kind of job. I don't really care if im trying to over analyze this show. once again im just suggesting that it would be intresting if they changed the certin aspects of the show. Does anyone out thier agree? I really would really like to do something with this show and i would appreciate it greatly if anyone would support my idea? thank you for your time reading this.

One way to know if she is for real or not is to throw some gasoline on her and light it on fire. If she screams in pain and writhes as her flesh melts, then she is real. If she continues speaking that awful spanglish of hers, then she is not real.

If God didn't want us to eat animals, why'd he make them out of meat?

reply

hmmm... what an interesting idiah but would the censorships really allow something like that to happen to her? or perhaps maybe some glitch in the computer software would prevent the censorships but i highly doubt it thiers got to be some aporopriate way to determine if she is real or not well thats just my opionion
