" i do. ". by (me!) sandra, tvgp

- very, very true: how we are chronically and unconsciously influenced by our environment: what our eyes glance upon; ears eavesdrop; fingers/hands make contact with; nose and tongue perceive.   there is no escaping it...    but it is fun to sometimes tune in, and notice..   we can sometimes become aware of what might have had an influence, but I don't think anyone can actually quantify or qualify..     the book, blink, by Malcolm gladwell, speaks pretty articulately on the topic..

but here, In this environment:   I had been asked,  "do you have any tape?"

and I was rather aware, write as I said it, that I was under the influence..

Because, on a different day, at a different time, in a different place, I probably would have answered, "sure. Write here.." And handed it to the person..

but in this environment, "do you have any tape?"

and I said with a smile,   "I do."

***

look all around you everyday...   there are some environments you have no control over, but others you do..

in your home, each room, ...   set it up to influence you in the way you wish to be influenced..

And oh! What if we could do this with billboards and advertisements...
