That was then and now its today...

While watching the television I noticed a certain commercial, and dont we love those. Well it got me thinking about Brave New World. The Your Baby Can Read commercial was almost exactly what was mentioned on Page 24 except that the children do not sleep. The idea that children are being taught things when their babies helps them remember when they are older. This form of sleep-teaching is also used in Brave New World though the effects are not the same. In the story the children know what they learned but they do not know that they have learned it. In todays technologically advanced world the children that are being "taught" how to read at such young ages might be suffering from the same trauma. I suppose the idea of learning anything while you sleep would teach you the ideals and morals of society. We as a media obsessed culture tend to dream and think about those things that we watch on television. The babies in this modern era are soon to be learning advanced educational ideas at even younger ages. Perhaps even negating the need for school all together.
