The Internet provides an endless stream of mindless entertainment. Every day you have the choice between YouTube clips, video chat pages, interactive games, and a lot more. If you are tired of yet another angry bird and seek some more stimulating ways to spend your time, may I suggest watching free documentaries online?
Documentaries are a great way to gain insight into a world outside your own or to see things from a different perspective. They challenge your view of the world and stimulate new ideas. Documentaries can also be shocking and thought provoking. In any case, they keep those grey cells active and engaged.
Culture UnpluggedTo understand Culture Unplugged, you have to understand its philosophy:
What we do matters, but why we do matters more. Individuality matters, but universality matters more. Idealism matters, but humanity matters more. Past & post matters, but present matters more. Product matters, but vision matters more. Process matters, but creativity matters more. Words & images matters, but the whole experience must matter most.
Culture Unplugged is concerned with the development of our society. They are presently running a Green Unplugged Film Festival, which highlights environmental documentaries. The festival is ad-free and non-commercial and survives on direct donations only.
To become involved, you can sign in with Facebook or sign up.
Culture Unplugged also received an entry in the MakeUseOf Directory.
