Addicted to Indirect Lighting

About 6 months ago, I discovered that I hate sunlight. What the hell, sun provides all the energy that is being used on earth now. The Sun makes it rain, the sun grows trees, and the sun makes the wind blow. We generate electricity from all these, have our food, and do everything and the ultimate source for all this is the Sun. And I hate the sunlight, am I becoming a vampire now?

But recently I have discovered that my eyes have gotten so used to indirect lighting that it hates direct light now. I prefer watching an LCD tv than the old fashioned CRT tv, which gives reflected light than direct light, and I would always like to keep my window curtains closed during the day so that the curtain diffuses the direct sun light and makes it look like indirect lighting.

I do remember a period in my past when I enjoyed riding my bicycle for long periods of time in the scorching summer sun, but looks like the old days are long gone. And I am looking for sconce instead of the regular light fixures for my home now.

Low signal inside a building?

Yelling into the phone when there is a low signal will not help the person at the other end hear you better. When the signal is low, the phone works hard to try and reach the cellphone tower, and this will result in increased power in the antenna, and this could affect your brain too. If you live or work in a place where there is a constant problem of low signal, get a cell phone signal booster and it should save some of your problems.

Brianboiling with Microwaves

Frequency is inversely proportional to Wavelength. While time is constant, the number of cycles per second can be varied, and thus the frequency of a wave is increased, and this reduces the length of the cycle. This way, the frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.

When the frequency goes in Mega cycles or Mega Hertz, which is number of cycles in the millions, the wavelength naturally comes down to microns, and this is what is called microwaves. Microwaves have popular uses in a microwave oven, but if you don’t realize it, you should know that it is there on your mobile phones too, the piece of plastic that you hold close to your ears (and your brains) to talk to other people.

The microwave oven emits a concentrated wave of 800 watts to 1000 wats with a frequency of 2.4 Ghz, the frequency that makes water resonate and produce heat and cook food. But the frequency band that we use on our phones are equally bad too They won’t cook your brains like the microwave oven does as it certainly doesnt have 800 watts of power or the exact frequency that could make the water resonate, but in the long run, it certainly could do some damage to you.

If you have got so used to cellphones in the last 10 years, try to use a handsfree at the least. Constant exposure to even such smaller amouts of radiation could cause mutation and you could be passing doewn bad genes to your next generation.

A computer is a Pensieve

If you don’t know what a pensieve is, read Harry Potter. If you know what it is, well you know what I mean then. A modern computer is a place where you can store away your photographs, music and videos, and carry important documents, directories and other information required for your business, use to send emails etc etc etc.

Though I find that using a desktop computer is the easiest way with that big screen and a moveable keyboard, when you travel you will need to carry a notebook computer around if you don’t want to end up depending on insecure public computers or computers of your friends.

Electric fire Places

Before Electricity was invented, people had to burn firewood in firelpaces to keep themselves warm. This was really harmful to the environment, but thanks to electricity, we have Amish fireplace now, which draws electricity from a socket, deriving power from a thermal power station that generates power from coal. Well, are we really stopping pollution? No. But at least, we have freedom from having to clean the fireplaces or collect firewood during the summer to keep ourselves warm while our women do the knitting all through winter.
