Modern Science at work

A team of British researchers has discovered that television is so popular because it combines sound and vision.

Human brains are genetically programmed to enjoy television, research has suggested.
A Manchester University study found watching television exercised both sides of the brain, making information easier to understand.

Researchers said that the brain also assimilates information best through sound and vision, which is why TV works so well.

Three months and how many pounds to determine that the brain evolved to handle audio and visual information?

Yeesh!
