Discussion session

Today we had a discussion about our visit to Normanby Hall & the impact that all the items of technology we found or thought of during our journey.  Our last session post has been amended by including blue text for the items that relate to new technology. We considered the impact on the environment of things like wind turbines.  The advantages and disadvantages of this form of renewable energy.  In a wider context we talked about the impact of those wind farms off the coast of Lincolnshire near Skegness.  There have been reports that the vibrations from these turbines can be felt in homes nearby. The debate continues:
Scientists dismissed the idea of a "wind turbine syndrome" where the vibrations in the air or the particular sound waves from wind turbines cause headaches, nausea and panic attacks.

However, they did concede that the swishing sound caused by wind turbines can "annoy" some people, keeping them awake at night and even causing psychological problems because of the stress.

Also today, our up & coming JigSaw Champion, Dennis, almost completed a 100 piece online jigsaw puzzle before his computer crashed.  He then loaded a 50 piece jigsaw to complete his achievement for this session. Well done Dennis.
