Ice cream has been available for thousands of years.
It was nothing like modern ice cream in its very
early history. In fact, the early ice cream was only
snow mixed with honey and fruit. As time went on,
ice cream became more like it is today. With the
help of new technologies such as electricity, the
freezer and the fridge, ice cream became much
easier to make. In 1904, an ice cream salesman at
the World's Fair used a waffle to hold ice cream
from running out. Thus, the ice cream waffle was
invented. Then after a year, new ice cream products
like the sundae and ice cream soda were invented.
Today people know a lot of ice cream flavours.

Most headset stereos have one thing in common:
they can cause hearing loss. Studies have shown
that sound levels from the machines can reach 115
decibels or more - roughly equivalent to standing
100 feet from a commercial jet at the moment of
take-off. At that level, permanent hearing damage
can occur after just 15 minutes. And the earlier a
child begins using a headset, the more damage can
accumulate. Loud noise causes hearing loss by
killing irreplaceable hair cells in the inner ear.
Normally, the process occurs slowly as people age,
but noise damage can accelerate it. Noise-induced
hearing loss is insidious; damage may not be
apparent until later in life. Since headsets are used
privately, parents often don't realize how loud their
children's music is.
