OK, well not ‘our’ kids. I don’t have any kids. Your kids. Your teenage kids. Do you really know what they are up to in their bedrooms, when they’re sitting in front of the computer late at night? Well, best thing you could do is sneak up to the doors of their rooms and then barge in unannounced because there is a good possibility that they may be iDosing.

iDosing is a new craze that is sweeping across the world and makes use of a technique known as binaural beats. The system plays one frequency in one ear and another frequency in the other. The idea is that this then modifies the brain waves of the user to make them high. Yes, you heard me – high on digital drugs.

Just to prove that I am not making this up, here is a link to the article the Daily Mail have written on the subject: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1296282/I-dosing-How-teenagers-getting-digitally-high-music-download-internet.html

Now while it has been speculated by highly reputable sources that the people doing this are just been overly suggestible and stupid, and other studies have shown that there is no effect on the brainwaves at all, this advice should be ignored. The best advice can only be lock up your kids and for goodness sake keep them away from any music devices.
