The Dark Side of Light

Recommended Posts

Documentary on how artificial light is related to obesity, depression, and certain types of cancers. (Especially for those that have shift-work!)

Very interesting; watch it when you have the time!

"

Our planet is lit up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We're addicted to light and we just can’t get enough of it. But like anything else that's addictive, could too much be a bad thing?

For our entire history we have lived and worked in rhythm with the rising and setting of the sun. But all that changed with the invention of artificial light nearly 130 years ago. Light fixtures, computer screens, television screens – all of these have allowed us more time to live, work, play and extend the length of our days. And shorten our nights. But at what cost? Are we actually putting ourselves at risk?"

All I got was an advert to download an watch women on live cam for free :$

It takes a little bit to load. The program is 45 minutes, so depending on the speed of your internet...

Yeah, sorry about the ads. It's a free video-hosting site.
