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.

It's interesting that we're seeing the decline of newspapers but as you say radio seems to be capitalising on podcasts to reach an even larger audience.
