[False Accusation]

 

Fears over children playing video games is leveraged by the media for many headlines. While most children play games, most gamers are adults. Daphne is a brain scientist, so has studied the impact of video games on the brain. She notes that excessive gaming is hazardous to the health, but in reasonable levels is generally beneficial. With the amount of time people can play games, she is looking at ways to leverage this power to solve health problems.

Her main focus for these studies were violent first person shooter action games – such as Call of Duty, which in previous tests showed much greater benefits than other games. Her findings were

1-Gamers have better vision. This is counter to the old story that too much screen time will harm your eyes – gamers could make out small details better and could distinguish between shades of grey (useful for driving in foggy conditions). Games are now being developed to improve patients with poor vision.

 

2-Gamers are better at focussing their attention. Again this is counter to the myths, but gamers can track more objects at a time and focus on tests for longer.

 

3-Gamers are better multi-taskers: they can switch from one task to another with minimal cost. They performed better in the multitasking tests than ‘multimedia taskers’ – students who report chatting while listening to music and studying.

Most of these findings fly in the face of common wisdom, and show that scientific testing is necessary to test common knowledge.

Daphne used this to try and improve the brains of non-gamers. She assigned them to play first person shooters for 10hrs over 2wks and tested their ability to mentally rotate shapes before and after. They showed a significant improvement after gaming, and maintained that improvement 5 months after the study.

She is now working with game publishers to better integrate the elements of games that improve our brains while still keeping the games fun. This is not an easy or quick thing to do since people are wary of past efforts at educational software.

History of High Heels

It is related in our minds that wearing high-heeled shoes is only for women, but in fact it began only from the beginning of the seventeenth century. Before that, and over the past seven centuries, the wearing of high-heeled shoes was restricted to men.

It might seem surprising to know that high heels were originally designed for men to wear, long before women were wearing them. The advent of high heels dates back to the 9th century AD in Persia, when warriors on horseback wore high-heeled shoes; In order to keep their feet firmly in place in a horse's saddle. The Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Canada, displays some of the high-heeled horse riding boots.

At a time when the obsession with everything Persian was rampant on the European continent, European women tended to imitate masculine styles, including wearing high heels; Seeking to affirm their rights to equality with men.

According to one of the professors, women tended during that period to cut their hair, add epaulets to their clothes, smoke a pipe, wear male hats, and wear high heels just as men do; And this is in an attempt to adopt masculine styles in their clothes.

By the seventeenth century, women began to wear high heels, and there were two types of heels, one of which was thick for males and the other was slender for women, and the new fashion in the world of fashion gradually spread to the middle classes and the general public, after it was a symbol of the elite.

Whether the shift in wearing high heels from men to women can be interpreted as a mere craze spread over the new fashion trend, or as a conscious effort by women to adopt appropriate male fashion and achieve equality; Ultimately, men ended up shunning heels altogether.

This happened in the eighteenth century, when men refused to wear high-heeled shoes because they were impractical, and male clothes began to transform from unique, vivid-colored outfits to relatively uniform dark-colored fashion. Men have ditched high heels for women, an event that fashion experts call the great male condescension .
