Interesting story.

Professor Kelly Musick and Dr Ann Meier of Cornell University have carried out a study of children whose parents stay together for the sake of the kids.
It turns out their children do worse than any other group â“ including those of divorcees or single mums. If you are raised by arguing parents who stayed together only for you, then you are 33 per cent more likely to become a binge-drinking teen than if you have a single parent, for example. -
For example, phase shifts typically last 55 milliseconds, but an additional 1 millisecond seemed to add as many as 20 points to the child's IQ. A shorter time in the stable phase-locked state also corresponded with greater intelligence - with a difference of 1 millisecond adding 4.6 IQ points to a child's score

Finds experience unsatisfactory. Not entirely convinced anyone ever found them useful...

Nice article on it. Good photos too.

D'oh!
Clearly that could never apply to anyone before 1996. Back in the days of the walkman, we had to invent fire, the wheel, writing, music, astronomy, cartography, electricity, the motor car, etc. in the 13 or so years between my birth and 1984!
Kids these days, don't even know they're born... blah, blah... etc., etc :)

Date: 2009-06-30 05:15 pm (UTC)I has my current Walkman on my desk next to me, it's dead good, has loads of features, and is much better than an iPod in almost every respect.
The attached built in digital camera and twitter update function (SMS) is useful, I'm not quite so sold on the way it can also be used for people to "ring" me, never did quite get the point of that one.
My old tape walkman was green, still sat ina cupboard at my parents I think.
