This is really good and only 10 minutes. The idea that babies cannot learn from audio tapes or TV implies a couple of interesting things:
1. It probably really is nonsense to play tapes for a fetus.
2. There may well be a cultural learning impact on the children of the worst parents.
3. TV is not the best baby sitter for infants.
4. There may be an excellent reason for mom to stay home for the first year with the new born – it’s not that dads can’t do it or that mom can't do it with dad after work. As always it’s about attitude and energy.

Many of you watch Ted.
It’s available on line, the iphone, Ipad, and just recently on the Roku.
It’s tremendous and I like the short, out of the box thinking lectures.
I found this one on language acquisition by babies to be fascinating and thought you might enjoy.
