Interesting Facts

According to a study conducted by the University of California, in the US, people, especially young people, are so engrossed in their phones, they are unable to accurately read how people are feeling in real-life. (According to psychologists, this is the result of less face-to-face time interaction.  Children in particular are glued to electronic devices for nearly five hours each day, and this could leave them emotionally stunted in the future. I do hope you're not reading this on your phone.)

 According to research carried out at Ohio State University, the average human only makes 21 facial expressions. (There are six core emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust, but human Faces Can express21 distinct emotions, combining emotions, such as happily surprised or sadly angry.  However, according to research carried out at the University of Glasgow human faces might only be able to make four universally recognized facial expressions. They argue that shared key facial signals should be combined: the wrinkled nose: fear and disgust widened eyes: fear and surprise I'm sure my face has shown more than 21 expressions just in the time it took me to write this. Perhaps they didn't count the tongue sticking out of the side of the mouth to help concentration as an expression.)
