MinnPost: "a 2007 study involving children (some in Minnesota) aged 8 to 16 months found that for every hour a child spent watching a Baby Einstein or other type of baby-oriented DVD or video, the child understood six to eight fewer words than same-aged babies who didn’t watch them." [emphasis mine]Einstein didn't watch TV when he was a kid.
Critiquing the rationality of public policy, ruminating on modern life,
and exposing my inner nerd.
