Good morning.

I'm Jenny live with all the top stories online and on TV.

Coming up, this Bank Holiday Monday.

Virtual reality comes into our homes.

And we hear from a super famous vlogger.

It's Newsround.

Thousands of homes have been left without power as Storm Katie

batters the UK.

Southern England and Wales have seen the worst of the storms,

with some flights cancelled due to extremely strong winds.

The bad weather is expected to ease later today.

Fancy getting yours hands on your very own virtual-reality system?

Well deliveries of the long-awaited Oculus Rift headsets are being made

to homes around the world this morning.

The goggles allow users to enter a completley

The goggles allow users to enter a completely

computer generated world.

They've been available to pre-order since January.

But with a price tag of ?500,

you'll have to start saving your pocket money.

You've probably worked out by now, Newsround is going tech mad

and our latest special is all about technology and asking

the question - is tech taking over?

We've been chatting to some top famous vloggers to find out how

they manage their tech time.

Here's Kim to tell us how she does it.

Hey, guys.

My name's Yogscast Kim and I am a YouTuber.

You do sometimes forget to take a break to even go for lunch,

You do sometimes forget to take a break to even go for lunch,

even eat or go to the toilet or something like that and,

before you realise, it's like four hours later and it's actually

midnight and your family and loved ones have gone to bed,

so there's definitely lots of times where I spend way too much time

looking at a screen.

My concentration is a lot poorer than it used to be.

My sleeping habits, I find it difficult to sleep.

Also I feel like I'm wasting time.

I see a screen as soon as I wake up and I immediately almost reflexively

check e-mails to see what's come in overnight because and that's

awful because then I spend about 10, 15, 20 minutes in bed before I get

up and I could just get up and do stuff and see the world but no,

I'm just checking to see one more stupid cat video.

And I call it the refresh cycle where you just open one thing,

refresh it, catch up, open the next thing,

refresh, check it, catch up and you just go in this endless

cycle that goes for five minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes,

40 minutes and then you realise you've just spent 50 minutes

literally just going from one app to another app to another app

to another app.

Since joining team sports and doing Cross Fit at the gym,

I am actually feeling a lot better.

I don't feel unfit any more.

I don't feel out of breath and I do feel a lot healthier than I used to.

Tech can be such a great platform for teaching you,

for kind of opening your eyes and learning new things and adding

to your skill set.

We live in a fantastic technological age.

Use these tools to do something creative.

Express your creativity and also use these tools to learn new skills.

You sort of have to take a look at yourself and say,

is it really that important for me to check in on what the latest

cat video is?

Probably not.

It was the annual Oxford vs Cambridge University Boat Race

yesterday, the 162nd time the race has been held,

and it didn't quite go to plan for Cambridge.

The Cambridge women's boat almost sank and their ivals Oxford

The Cambridge women's boat almost sank and their rivals Oxford

were able to pull away and win the race.

In the men's race, Cambridge had better luck and rowed to victory.

Finally, what were you doing to celebrate Easter Sunday yesterday?

Hanging out with your family?

An easter egg hunt perhaps?

How about a visit from a sky-diving Easter bunny?

Well, children in Pennsylvania, in the USA, were surprised

by a dramatic Easter Bunny entrance yesterday.

He parachuted in to help with an egg hunt.

Meanwhile, New Yorkers enjoyed an Easter bonnet parade.

Hundreds of children and adults took part in the procession,

showing off their home-made hats as they walked through the centre

of the city in a tradition that stretches back to the 1870s.

And in Germany, instead of eating eggs they've been throwing them!

The aim was to throw the brightly painted eggs the furthest distance

without smashing them.

That's all we've got time for right now, but Newsround's back right

here at 8.15.

Don't forget to head online for loads more brilliant stuff.

tricky quiz just for serious news fans.
