Questions Worth Asking (Maybe)

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Ralph Hanson

Are aggressive kids more likely to play violent video games?
Study says not so much. Some interesting findings.
Is it really a World Wide Web?
Well, 25 percent of Europeans have yet to be online. Here’s a link to the actual study.
What’s hashtag?
A really good explanation from Tech for Luddites from 2009.
Would an app that shows clothed models in their underwear increase sales of clothing from a catalog?
As a matter of fact, yes. Clothing retailer Moosejaw says this somewhat creepy app has increased sales by 37 percent.
How long have women been objectified by unrealistic media images?
Since the neolithic era (6,000 years ago), based on this French “earth mother” figure featuring exagerated buttocks and thighs. Fashion magazines distorting women’s bodies is nothing new.
