Watching Grass Grow

What is interesting about podcasts is that they have put new life into an old technology, that is, radio. I find listening can be very refreshing, a restful change from looking and being bombarded with still and moving pictures. I think that's why people like to stare into space, or watch the grass grow. They need a break from signs, posters, billboards, televisions and computer screens.

By the way there is a group on Flickr called Watching Grass Grow. Here is a lovely photo by dmb272 taken from that group.
