The Day That The Lights Went Out in Google
If the search engine Google happens to be your internet tool of choice, then you already know that the site often makes little adjustments to its logo to commemorate significant holidays and even a few obscure historic facts.
Google’s look du jour is to turn their page background pitch black, and they’re hoping you’ll do the same thing, in a manner of speaking, with your home tonight.
It’s a tip of the hat to Earth Hour, an event being marked at the 8pm hour today regardless of your time zone.
You’re being asked to turn out all of the lights in your home for a single hour to help reduce energy consumption.
Turning off the lights is one thing. A little candlelight is nice every now and then.
But do they really expect people to turn off the…gasp…television, too?
