Speed learning

Abstract: In pre-technological societies, children finished their education, found work and married at a much earlier age than they do today. Daedalus believes that we could see a return to these times by speeding up the rate at which children learn. He plans to do this using magnetic gadgets that stir up the fluid axoplasm in the nerves. By wearing a 400-Hz magnetic hat, children wouldn't think any faster, but their brains would be updated twice as quickly.
