| Interesting. Does it suggest a solution? Apart from not reading, of course. Adam - Tue 29 Jun, 13:43:29 |
| No; I don't know whether it's something you can learn to suppress with practice, or whether the people I see reading on buses are just mutants... Kevan - Tue 29 Jun, 14:51:21 |
| Or Anna, possibly. Chrissy - Tue 29 Jun, 17:04:47 |
| Or me. I have always been able to read on all sorts of transport, including ferries crossing choppy seas, and cars driving fast round sharp bends repeatedly. Even reading tiny text doesn't bother me at all. Mattgreen would agree with you that I must be a mutant, though.
How come natural selection didn't work its magic on people like me and Anna, then? I am mystified. Alicey - Wed 30 Jun, 10:19:20 |
| Hmm, the web only seems to offer random medication, ginger and "not reading" as cures for motion sickness, so maybe it is just an innate biological thing. (And possibly something that changes over time, as I was fully able to read on buses fifteen years ago.)
Being poisoned to death is probably rare enough to be only a slight environmental influence - there's presumably some advantage that nearly balances it. I don't know, though. Kevan - Wed 30 Jun, 11:49:17 |
| I can read and play on my GBA on a train, but not on a coach, strangely enough. Maybe the turns? Adam - Thu Jul 1 17:47:21 |
| If the problem is the relative movement between head and book, maybe let the book lie on your lap and shake with the bus? Zarba - Fri Jul 2 05:01:20 |
