This is so Pavlovian

Pawlow

ling sounds

A small spot in "Flavia de Luce - Murder in cucumber" I particularly like: the older sister of 11-year-old Flavia refuses decided to go to the door when the doorbell rings. This is so "Pavlov". Now play the action in the 50s - which had since been to acoustic stimuli? The doorbell, telephone and even the bell of the church tower. If you look at an "average Internet user" now look around, then the offer but much more: a short tone for SMS, sound in phone call buzzer in fixed, door bell in two variants, calendar and mail One pack of tones on the smartphone, laptop and PC, "New messages" beep when Twitter client and Facebook, etc., etc., and radio traffic reports jingles not counted. At just over 20 sounds, beeps, tones and vibration Summsumms brings it loose there. With the glut of Pavlov the dog would be determined by shot - or starve. - The right time to hang up even one of the ancient plates: "The Sound of Silence" (Simon & Garfunkel, YouTube - the way: quiet again on the text eighth).

    Nice saying, universally applicable and can think about it. Although easy to understand, but again somewhere nerdy. Sophisticated coolness, exactly, it does matter. Makes you want more of Flavia de Luce!
