  1. accessible internet on Comcast Launching $9.95 Low Income Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    This is great news. The internet can be such a powerful learning tool for children today and it can also keep parents connected with their kids. It is an excellent attempt to lessen the gap between the abilities and knowledge acquired between children from different socio-economic backgrounds in the school environment. Like many others stated, I do wish that this discount applied to seniors as well since it is a perfect tool for seniors to keep their minds in tune and connect with their family members who may live far away from them.

  2. behavioral therapy on IBM Patenting HAL-Like Stuffed Animal Toys · · Score: 1

    I can see how this may be helpful but only if used in conjunction with a real therapist as well. I don't think the use of verbal cues alone by a computer will necessary help reduce unwanted behavior. It will also be difficult to catch the inappropriate behavior across different environments or circumstances. The part about the warnings "would you like someone to do that to you' in a softer tone of voice along with a visual cue as well" also doesn't seem to go along with general theories behind behavioral therapy.
