Immaturity Level in Adults on the Rise

Much to no one's surprise, a new research shows that the level of immaturity amongst the new generation adults is rising. In my personal opinion, it is mainly because of the sub-standard programming telecasted on television today. For instance, anyone who has watched the cartoon, "Family Guy" should know it is strictly intended for an adult audience. However, the maturity level of the show is extremely poor, and in addition, it instills sex, violence and hatred through it's poor level of comedy in the minds of its viewers. The same can be said about the cartoon shows, "American Dad", and "Futurama". The following is an article published on Slashdot on the topic:

Ant writes to tell us that a Discovery News article is exploring the old adage, "like a kid at heart", which may be closer to the truth than we would like to admit. New research is showing that grown-ups are more immature than ever. From the article: "Specifically, it seems a growing number of people are retaining the behaviors and attitudes associated with youth. As a consequence, many older people simply never achieve mental adulthood, according to a leading expert on evolutionary psychiatry."

"Archaeologists working on India's south-west coast believe they may have solved the mystery of the location of a major port which was key to trade between India and the Roman Empire - Muziris, in the modern-day state of Kerala.

For many years, people have been in search of the almost mythical port, known as Vanchi to locals.

Much-recorded in Roman times, Muziris was a major centre for trade between Rome and southern India - but appeared to have simply disappeared.

Now, however, an investigation by two archaeologists - KP Shajan and V Selvakumar - has placed the ancient port as having existed where the small town of Pattanam now stands, on India's south-west Malabar coast. [...]
