Technology makes kids dumb!

An interesting article I discovered on Loïc le Meur's blog.

Modern technology depletes human cognitive abilities more rapidly than drugs, and is dumbing down the population more rapidly than television according to a psychiatric study conducted at King's College, London.

Messaging users suffered a 10 per cent drop in IQ scores, more than twice the fall recorded by marijuana users, in a clinical trial of over a thousand participants. Doziness, lethargy and an inability to focus are classic characteristics of a spliffhead, but messaging users exhibited these particular symptoms to a "startling" degree, according to the study.

Another study of 100,000 school children in over 30 countries around the world testified that non-computer using kids performed better in literacy and numeracy than PC-using children who neglect their homework. Awash with facts, children don’t know what to do with the information they access, how to prioritize. They lose their creativity and imagination, their ability to analyze and build coherent arguments, they've forgotten how to think.... Education experts have dubbed it the "problem solving deficit disorder".

Extract from theregister.co.uk, April 22, 2005

Ok girls, I need your constructive comments on this with the right facts, arguments and counter-examples, quick! Otherwise, my friends who think I'm crazy to let each of you own a computer and do what you want with it are right. And I should put a halt to all of this for your IQ's, your EQ's and your critical thinking’s sake...

Mum! Why animals? by Al

Why are animals used for everything? Okay, we eat animals and we are part of the food chain, but why use them for fur or makeup experiments? Some animals are used for research for scientist, and I do not know my opinion about that...as I said, we are part of the food chain and for eating, I kind of understand, but for our own pleasure?
    A lot of animals are killed today for coats to keep yourself warm, but there are other ways to do that now! Also, leather is a fabric everyone uses, and is seen everywhere, which is made out of cow skin!
    And, animals are humiliated and get sick because of makeup experiments? Why? For girls and women to be pampered? Exactly! Animals die because ladies like to wear lipstick or eyeshadow? Some companies do not use animals for testing and it is better that way!
    It is unfair that animals should die for our little pleasures and wants!

Alice.

Girls! Vu de la navette Columbia

Sunset11_1


Cette photo a été prise par l'équipage de la navette Columbia lors de sa dernière mission,  alors qu'il n'y avait pas de nuage -clic pour agrandir.


Le  soleil se couche. La moitié de la photo est dans la nuit. Les points lumineux que vous voyez sont les lumières des  villes.
La partie en haut de l'Afrique  est le désert du Sahara. Notez que les lumières sont déjà allumées en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas, à  Paris et à Barcelone, et qu'il fait  encore jour à Londres, Lisbonne, et Madrid. Le soleil brille toujours sur le détroit de Gibraltar,  alors que la Méditerranée est déjà  plongée dans l'obscurité.
Au milieu de  l'Océan Atlantique vous pouvez reconnaître les Açores, en dessous et à droite l'Ile de Madeire, un peu en dessous  les Canaries, et
encore plus au Sud,  près du point le plus à l'Ouest de l'Afrique les îles du Cap Vert.
Notez à quel point le Sahara est énorme et peut être vu  clairement de jour comme de nuit. A gauche, en haut, le Groenland,  totalement gelé. (et l'Islande au
milieu  de l'Atlantique Nord)

Ce message est emprunté à une amie d'amie. Merci à elle!
