Video and pictures used to illustrate computer use in these schools show what the problem actually is, Subliminal Distraction. <br /><br />Named for the feature of our physiology of sight that allows it to happen, it was discovered and solved forty years ago. <br /><br /><br />These students don't get enough exposure to have the mental break it it known to cause. But if one of them created the same situation at home where they played video games the full mental break might happen. <br /><br />Designers of Systems Furniture, cubicles, see only one level of exposure and believe the mental event is a harmless temporary episode of confusion. But even that might be problematic if a student wandered outside in a Canadian winter.<br /><br />VisionAndPsychosis.Net is a seven year investigation of Subliminal Distraction. As a feature of human physiology it has always been present in any human population.L K Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554683486868868264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-21966799591001428082010-08-20T07:14:10.223-04:002010-08-20T07:14:10.223-04:00Sometimes School Trustees Make You Proud<a href="http://sandwalk.blogspot.com/2010/08/sometimes-school-trustees-make-you.html" rel="nofollow">Sometimes School Trustees Make You Proud</a>NALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244370945682162312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-6663277949176082842010-08-18T07:42:27.599-04:002010-08-18T07:42:27.599-04:00Banning Wi-Fi From Schools<a href="http://www.theness.com/neurologicablog/?p=2215" rel="nofollow">Banning Wi-Fi From Schools</a>NALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244370945682162312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-72225393798238122010-08-16T22:05:30.229-04:002010-08-16T22:05:30.229-04:00This was about three mouse clicks in from the Barr...This was about three mouse clicks in from the Barrie Children link:<br /><br />http://ehp03.niehs.nih.gov/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1289%2Fehp.0900781<br /><br />This claims to be a peer-reviewed journal.

But some wrong and ridiculous ideas move into the category of wrong and dangerous.<br /><br />For example, I don't mind when people believe in homeopathy unless they then use it to replace something like chemotherapy for treating cancer.<br /><br />What about yourself? Do you see some bad ideas worth fighting more than other bad ideas?Michael J.

Yeah, I recall having all sorts of mysterious medical complaints on Mondays. For some reason, my mother tended not to believe me....<br />2) Children are more susceptible because their heads are the same size as the wavelength of the WiFi? I haven't looked up the band used by WiFi, but kids' heads aren't actually that much smaller than adult heads, and I very much doubt that, as an antenna, the brain has a terribly high Q-factor.Eamon Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262012749524758120noreply@blogger.com
