So I have this theory…

I was just looking at a blog about waterfalls, and he started discussing negative ions. Theory is, moving water, certain winds, etc. create negative ions, which, when breathed in by humans, boost serotonin levels, alleviating stress and depression.
Ok, this all sounds very good, and like it could be (and has been) totally exploited by marketers. I know there are negative ion purifiers, etc.
On the flip side, devices like computer monitors put forth positive ions. Hm. Is that why people are always so pissy on the internet? (And why I’m always hating my job….?) Maybe I just need to get a waterfall for my desk. :-D
Or maybe this theory is just a big ol’ duh.

Date: 2008-08-22 04:18 pm (UTC)I suspected something of the sort, considering I only found one article from '02 plus a bunch of marketing crap.
I still choose to believe that having a waterfall at my desk is good for me. :-D
