Are they..."baffled"?

#3 My computer can switch from one orientation to another using software, no need to rotate the physical device. Papers can be read in any orientation one chooses. Big deal.

#4 When I was in highschool (mid 70's) I saw a film about an experiment where the subject wore a special set of goggles which turned what he saw upside down.

After a few days (week?) of wearing them his brain changed it's processing so that the image would be right-side up again. And then when he stopped wearing the googles he again saw everything upside down until his brain, again, corrected it's processing.

They did the same experiment with baby chicks. Could tell exactly how the chicks' brains were interpreting the data by where they pecked for good and water. I had no interest in becoming a psychologist, but the intro psych textbook was chock full of interesting things like that.

#7 alright I'm confused.
If she goes out the door of her house each morning ... isn't she seeing the entire world upside down? If that's true, she must be used to it by now. So why does she need to invert her television???
