[Geysers] make a geyser erupt during 'your time'

[sheri]

laughing...... Pat -- 
I do think it is a good video..
but...
"Playing God in Yellowstone" is not my idea of what should happen..
*I am smiling*.....I have no real concern..
it is just that.....doing it yourself....I guess makes the four, five hours waiting at Grand seem rather silly..
*sheri*
sometimes wishing I could just 'mouse that geyser up'

I just wanted to share that with you....
sorry if I came across as 'angry'....I guess it was just the 'computerness of the site'..

  Sheri, is your concern that they shouldn't indicate to kids that they can "make it erupt"? Most children, I would hope, could distinguish between playing with an internet video and being in the park and actually watching it erupt for themselves. National Geo. might have had some kind of warning wording on the site, such as "In Yellowstone, you can't do this yourself," but that might be overkill, too. There's a pretty good explanation of OF's cycles on the previous page, given that kids read that, they should be able to understand that it's "just a video".

  Overall, I think that link is pretty cool, actually. I just had a little bit of trouble getting it to load (I am on dial up, unfortunately) and the technology is a bit dated, but being able to see the eruption in stages from varying views is interesting!

  Just my 2¢.
