Relax your brain

My friend Marcus just posted this on another website.

Do you have a couple of minutes to spare? If so, here's something productive you can do with that time: nothing.

A young student and website developer named Alex Tew has created a site called "do nothing for 2 minutes" (donothingfor2minutes.com). The site opens on a view of a sunset over the ocean and the gentle sound of waves.
...
When you arrive at the site, a counter starts counting backwards from two minutes to zero. That may not sound challenging, but if you touch your mouse or keyboard before two minutes pass, this message pops up: FAIL.

I guess even relaxation has its pressures!

Alex told the website Tech Crunch: "There is evidence that our brains are being re-wired by the internet, because we get a little dopamine kick every time we check our e-mail or Twitter or Facebook and there's a new update. So we're all developing a bit of ADD."

I'm not sure that visiting donothingfor2minutes.com will actually help lengthen your attention span, but it is relaxing if you can avoid the FAIL notice.

To Your Good Health,

Relax Your Brain
