The claim always seemed too good to be true: park your infant in front of a video and, in no time, he or she will be talking and getting smarter than the neighbor's kid. In the latest study on the effects of popular videos such as the "Baby Einstein" and "Brainy Baby" series, researchers find that these products may be doing more harm than good. And they may actually delay language development in toddlers.

I don't see how anyone else couldn't have seen this coming. I mean if people already know that TV isn't as good for you as say.. a book, why didn't they see that parking a child infront of an "educational program" on TV wouldn't do much good to really help them learn more?

Hm.
