hearing postponed
Use of cell phones for long durations seems to affect the hearing efficiency and ability to discriminate certain sounds. This is said to be the effect of high frequency audio waves. The ear is getting bombarded constantly and that would make the ears lose their natural abilities. We know that sound is a cause for certain mental problems and the environmental effect of sound is well known.
There is no need for sci-fi to create new and strange animals-in some fifty years every American would look like one such creature, if things go on this way. He may have a robot to guide him and drive him about. Nature never forgives. Emerson had seen only the calculators, when he commented:

Adult Toy
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A million pieces of stainless steel toy parts assembled into a nearly seven-story model skyscraper glimmered under the hot sun in New York on Tuesday, in American artist Chris Burden's latest project.
The 16,000-pound (7,250-kg) "poetic interpretation" of the 30 Rock Building at Rockefeller Center was made of replicated Erector set pieces from the toy created by A.C. Gilbert in 1912, Burden said.
"He was inspired by the buildings to build this toy system and I used this toy system to build a building," Burden said.

Olympic Hopeful Is Facing Some Tough Choices /NYT_HEADLINE>
The Stanford swimmer Ben Wildman-Tobriner won the 50-meter freestyle at the world championships last year in Australia.
PALO ALTO, Calif. — At last year's world championships in Australia, nobody was faster than Ben Wildman-Tobriner, who won the 50-meter freestyle. So why is it that he spends his days at the pool feeling as if he is not moving at all?
Blame life's crazy crosscurrents. Aspiring to be a doctor and an Olympian, Wildman-Tobriner is being pulled by two powerful desires: medical school and a medal.
His challenge this month is to avoid being dragged under by deadlines. June is when he is supposed to decide whether to enroll in classes this fall. It is also when the cut-down process starts for selecting the United Career fair - Jobs galoreStates swim team that will compete in the Beijing Games.

Cellphone Tracking Study Shows We're Creatures of Habit /NYT_HEADLINE>
New research that makes creative use of sensitive location-tracking data from 100,000 cellphones in Europe suggests that most people can be found in one of just a few locations at any time, and that they do not generally go far from home.
"Individuals display significant regularity, because they return to a few highly frequented locations, such as home or work," the researchers found.
That might seem like science and mountains of data being marshaled to prove the obvious. But the researchers say their work, which also shows that people exhibit similar patterns whether they travel long distances or short ones, could open new frontiers in fields like disease tracking and urban planning.
