Several years ago I blogged about the ubiquity of security cameras all over NYC that record nearly everyone's coming and goings. In this era of heightened tension, such is our reality.
But one the things I also blogged about was City Drive Live, a cable channel that, using these cameras, broadcasts images of roads, highways, and streets all over town, in real time, without music, without commentary, without any frills. At first you watch it and you're like "Who cares? Who wants to watch this?"
The next thing you know you're hooked, mesmirized by the simplicity and genius of this channel.
I'm not the only person who's written about City Drive Live (go here and here). Also, the phenomenon of people watching stuff like this has become worldwide. In Norway, they call it Slow TV and you can even watch it on Netflix.
If you ever want to watch TV and de-stress, you can watch this channel (or Slow TV) and you'll feel calmer.
