Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Wii Music, Singstar and many other music games are inspiring kid to learn and play real music instruments, a new study says.

Youth Music, which is the largest music charity in UK, funded for the study that finds 2.5m kid in UK have got real musical instruments after playing the virtual instruments available in these games.

The study shows that nearly 19% Kids in UK seemed so much inspired with these music games that they picked a real guitar or other musical instrument.

Andrew Missingham, a music industry expert, says: “Different music games are inclusive and quite friendlier to families and that’s why they are getting such popularity.”

Youth Music’s CEO Christina Coker says: “We have found that there is a lot of potential audience for these new music makers and players who are playing musical games.

“Now just like us many others in the music community are trying to capitalise that interest and backing those young kids who taking up real musical instruments. But it is also needed to incorporate gaming music with traditional music education.”

Music is a food to soul and kids often have a pure, untainted soul that can be easily inspired with this food, but the problem with the kids is that they do not remain kids for long.

The Acer k10 mini projector has just been announced by Acer and according to claims, it one of the lightest and smallest projector available in the market.  It has been designed especially for those business people who keep traveling all around the year.

DLP technology of Texas Instruments has been employed in the projector, as a TI representative says, but Acer has not used TI’s Pico chip.

The width of this new projecter is even smaller than an average pen and now you may be gather how tiny this creature is.

As far as performance is concerned, LED technology has been used in the k10 and it can release up to 100 ANSI lumens brightness that indicates that you will be able to project a 60-inch diagonal image.

You can choose between 4:3 ratio and widescreen and a 1,000:1 contrast ration means that even in not-completely dark rooms, your PowerPoint will shine through.

The greatest advantage of this K10 has come forward as its compatibility with Acer’s laptops and other products. The same AC adopter has been used in the projector as in the Acer laptops.

So, you just need one power source for the two products.

The Acer K10 will hit the shelves earlier next year and it will set you back in just £299.
