 Happy New Year 2009!
 To all our readers, contributors, and friends!
We are now entering the 10th year of publication of Complexity Digest and we are
proud that over the years we could keep up the weekly schedule only occasionally
interrupted by an accident and illness of the Editor in Chief. Unfortunately my
health situation got worse, so there will be some changes and in the short term
we might have to switch to a bi-weekly schedule. We will keep you posted. Thank
you all for your support.

Technology and Informal Education: What Is Taught, What Is Learned, Science
 









Excerpts: Which specific factor is most important in raising IQ performance at a
given time and place depends on the locus of social change occurring then and
there (6, 8). Increasing levels of formal education and urbanization were
particularly important in the United States and Europe in the first half of the
20th century (9, 10). More recently, technological change may have taken the
dominant role.  The changing balance of media technologies has led to losses as
well as gains. For example, as verbal IQ has risen, verbal SATs have fallen.
