Texting is a Pain in the Neck, Studies show

Kids usually text all the time when they're at home, school, and even at bed! However, texting can cause tons of injures like chronic pain problems if you text for a lifetime. It has been shown that people who text a lot, has elbow injuries do to too much thumb texting. The way you type on the computer and text on the phone has similar positions who text. Office workers who uuse the computer often usually come home with back pain or shoulder pain. This could happen if you text for a whole day. To see more about the texting problem, Gold, a professor in the Philadelphia, sent a questionnaire to 138 college students who text. The survey was about how many text messages were sent everyday and if they felt any back pain. After the results came, males seemed to text the most surprisingly. However a variable that could have happened with the survey could have been that Gold didn't ask the time of how long they take on the computer. Gold's research will be shown to the American Public Health Association.

Can the I pod damage your ears?

Teenagers usually use their Ipod when they're on the bus or when they're doing your homework. However, the good part that teens usually love about the Ipod ? You can raise your noise level as high as you want and no one could complain. On the other hand, the result? You could end up having an hearing aid. Studies shown that a usual person should only listen to 100 db or decibel every two hours(altogether) . An average I-pod can get up to 130 db! That's louder than a hairdryer which is 85 db! Let's take a look at Goshom, a scientist and his assistant Kathryn Jade White as they study college students who own any portable music players for more than 3 years. They found out that 55 percent of those college students listened volumes more than 85 db while 26 percent preferred levels at about 70 or 85 db. The rest of those students liked volumes less than 70 db. However, none of those students had any serious hearing problems probably because they didn't have their music players long enough. Nowadays, kids are listening to I pods at younger ages which could affect their hearing problems rapidly if they kept listening at a loud volume until college. Unless you want to have poor hearing, I would be careful of the noise level if I were you.

Flamingo One leg Mystery?

For some time, scientists have been trying to find the story behind the flamingo leg theory. Let's take a look at Mathew Anderson's studies about flamingos. His first theory was that if a flamingo stood on one leg, it would help reduce muscle fatigue. If a flamingo sees or hears a predator coming, it would run faster. So, to see if that theory works they, decided race two flamingos. One that stood on one leg and another flamingo that stood on both legs. However, that theory was out when they saw that the flamingo on both legs ran faster than the one with one leg. That takes out that theory. The second theory they found was that standing on one leg helps make you warmer. The scientists assume that since a flamingo stays in the water for most of the time, they would end up being pretty cold. Just like some other birds, in warm weather, they would stand on both legs. However on cold weather, they would stand on one leg since it helps make it warmer for them. My opinion about this is that the one leg theory is right. I remember when I came out of the pool soaking wet. When I put stood on leg like a flamingo, I felt a little warmer. The scientist will have to research more about the flamingo.
