Technology Misuse?

November 24, 2005 at 6:59 pm (Web)

I have been using the brand-new firefox browser for almost a week. Well, it is quite a pleasent experience, especially with Sage extension. Since it always knows what I “browsed” the last midnight, and recall me the next morning when I open the browser.

Several days ago, I installed the web developer extension into my firefox. I don’t have a chance to *actually* use its functions, since I do more reading recently rather than playing with codes. However by accident, I do find a function which is *suprisingly* useful for online readers like me to protect our eyes from long hours browsing.

So, here’s the suprising function: Display Topographics Information under Information tab. Eventually, it turns the whole web page into grayscale tone. Well, I’m not really sure what is its original intention; but now, I’m using it to darken the page’s background to reduce the direct bright light from hurting my eyes.

(oh, here’s a screeshot.)

It seems like I’m misusing the technology now.. ha, but it really helps me to solve my eye-tiring problem. BTW, it reminds me about an old joke of technology misuse (and they even made a movie clip for this joke, LOL) :P
