With the right technology, we can test and even prototype the thing on demand. This is truly remarkable: digital product design is still a new field, and it wasn't long ago that a standing army of machinists and draftspeople was needed to crank out detailed, hand-machined prototypes in model shops." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"This develops when wavelengths are missing in various types of artificial light or are filtered from natural light passing through window glass, windshields, tinted eyeglasses, smog, and sun tan lotions.

In other words energy cannot be extracted from food materials if the proper wavelengths are not obtained to help break them down chemically. Dr." - James A. Howenstine, A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work (Get the book.) "Ott has called the attention of the medical profession to the dangers of using tinted eyeglasses. He has perfected gray-tinted lenses that will allow the passage of all wavelengths of light. The majority of sunglasses available today do not permit full transmission of light and are clearly detrimental to the health of the wearer. We are all exposed to all the rays of the energy spectrum, including cosmic, x-ray, visible light, infrared, and radio. It would be simplistic to think these ubiquitous rays are not related to our vital life processes both in positive and negative ways. Dr." - James A.

"Eyeglasses: If your eye exam shows you need a visual correction, you may decide you want eyeglasses.

Having been built up through careful planning, bold investments, and the hard work of tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, and community workers, the system has been all but abandoned recently by shortsighted governments in the North." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Some people come to need wheelchairs the way others come to need eyeglasses. But unlike eyeglasses, wheelchairs have looked the same for years. There is no reason, other than habit, that wheelchairs must look so medical and ominous. Designers are now beginning to see wheelchairs as racing cars, as recreational vehicles, as colorful, comfortable, and zippy ways to get about. Eight years ago, in a nursing home where I consulted, we had residents decorate their own wheelchairs to make them more appealing and/or functional." - Ellen J. Langer, Mindfulness (Get the book.)

"Dati admitted that "somebody else was the first to invent eyeglasses," but stated that he was "unwilling to communicate the invention to others." All the same, Spina, according to Dati, had such a brilliant mind that he could re-create "everything that he had heard said or saw done"; he was therefore able to devise his own eyeglasses without the aid of the anonymous inventor." - Peter James, Nick Thorpe, Ancient Inventions (Get the book.)

"Exercising your eyes, in simple ways, may help you to avoid needing eyeglasses, or to discard eyeglasses you already wear. Using hairdryers, electric razors, cellphones and other electrical appliances may increase your risk for cancer, as does exposure to medical X rays. Simple choices can make the difference—turn on the dishwasher only when you plan to leave the kitchen. • Much of the disability in our elderly population attributed to aging actually is the result of decades of inactivity." - Raymond Francis, Never Be Sick Again: Health is a Choice, Learn How to Choose It (Get the book.)
