Mister Bill Gates and the president of GM have met for lunch, and Bill is going on and on about computer technology. “If automotive tech had kept pace with computer tech over the last decades, you would now be driving a V 32 instead of a V 8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour,” says Mr Gates. “Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 25 pounds and gets a 1000 miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than 35 $. Why didn’t you guys kept up?” The chief of General Motors smiles and says, “Because the federal government won’t let us build cars that crash four times a day.” }
Why is that so funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings llike to laugh, and the average grown up laughs ~ 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sitcoms and comedians are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. For us it seems so normal but the great thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs.|Laughter is actually a complex response that involves a lot of the same skills used for solving problems.||ÂLaughter is a great thing — that’s why we have all heard the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. In this text, we’ll look at laughter — what it is, what happens in our brains while somebody laugh, what makes us laugh and how this can make us feel better and happier.|}
You’ll also understood thatthere is a tremendous amount that we don’t understand yet.
Do we need humor on a daily basis? Science and common sense dictates that we need humor every waking hour of the day.
In a 2006 study at Loma Linda University in California, researchers discovered that the levels of two hormones in the human body increase when volunteers anticipated watching a humorous video. One of the hormones alleviates depression symptoms. The other hormone strengthens the immune system. Another study verified researcher claims that humor mitigates pain. Hospital personnel told some patients about to receive painful surgery some humorous one-liners before sedating the patients. The patients exposed to humor expressed less pain than the patients who did not receive any mental stimuli.||If you turn on the television, or open the front page of your favorite periodical, you most likely will see a torrent of bad news. Thousands of Libyans fleeing Tripoli as military fighter jets strafe the streets with chemical weapons. Public sector workers amass outside the state capital in Madison, Wisconsin in order to vehemently protest the elimination of collective bargaining rights. Violence in our urban areas robs innocent children of their futures. Methamphetamine labs sprout up in rural areas, poisoning the minds of promising adolescents and young adults. The madness permeates every corner of society.
