Location: Dallas, Texas Rep Power: 5 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Students find ring tone adults can't hear Some of you poor buggers are so old your like "whats a ring tone?" ========================= NEW YORK - Students are using a new ring tone to receive messages in class -- and many teachers can't even hear the ring. Some students are downloading a ring tone off the Internet that is too high-pitched to be heard by most adults. With it, high schoolers can receive text message alerts on their cell phones without the teacher knowing. As people age, many develop what's known as aging ear -- a loss of the ability to hear higher-frequency sounds. The ring tone is a spin-off of technology that was originally meant to repel teenagers -- not help them. A Welsh security company developed the tone to help shopkeepers disperse young people loitering in front of their stores while leaving adults unaffected. The company called their product the "Mosquito." Donna Lewis, a teacher in Manhattan, says her colleague played the ring for a classroom of first-graders -- and all of them could hear it, while the adults couldn't hear anything. __________________ -=Welcome to PBXInfo=- -Become a PBXInfo Supporter -Get more PM Space, Profile Picture, a Signature -Add yourself to Pbxinfo's Frappr -Find Nortel Software | ||||||||

| Moderator ![]() MSYoung is meddling with dragons
Location: San Diego, CA Rep Power: 6 ![]() | Last night a news reporter was asking some teens about this ring tone. Those that did not know about it listened to the tone and their first response was that it was a very irritating tone. But when they heard that older people could not hear it, suddenly they became interested in it. The reporter was young enough that she could hear it and she said that when she got back to the office, after listening to it dozens of times, she had a headache. __________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
