Very off topic: Schools forbid the use of cell phones in class, of course. A clever high school student found that his teachers have a difficult time hearing very high frequency sound, while teens can still hear it. So the student created a cell phone ring tone using the high frequency, and employed it to alert him when text messages arrive. The student was inspired when he read a report about a British company that markets a system to disperse teens who loiter around convenience stores. The sound is very annoying to teens, but inaudible to most adults. Now the tables are turned, and kids can use the cell phones in school again, provided their teacher is over 30. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/12/technology/12ring.html?hp&ex=3D1150084800= &en=3D6e65a1e8bdeab1e1&ei=3D5094&partner=3Dhomepage |
