Journal backhand's Journal: Should I let my infant stare at the iTunes visualizer?

Last night my eight-week-old daughter had us at our wit's end; she'd been fed, changed, had slept and my wife was out of breast milk. But still she screamed. And screamed. And screamed. I was in my office and in desperation, I put turned the iTunes visualizer on and turned her face to it. Magic happened; she immediately settled down and was entranced by the images on the screen.I know that infants should be stimulated by sounds and color, but I'm worried that letting her stare at the screen could effect her vision. So what do slashdotters think? Am I stimulating her creativity or preparing her for a life of wearing glasses and smoking weed? Incidently, we were listening to the Rock-A-Bye baby version of Radiohead songs.
