Every day I wonder, as I’m typing an article for work or tying up my hijab, what are the other people on the other side of the globe doing? What is the time there? Does Ashton Kutcher know I exist? Good thing to know that there are people out there who notion (almost) the same & make ways to find out.
“In City One Minutes life in each city is divided into 24 one minute portraits, each depicting one hour of the day. Every film is a personal impression of the city in which the artist lives or in which he is staying.” (via swissmiss)
And remember when they say an age at illiteracy is at hand? Apparently Andrea Lunsford, a professor of writing and rhetoric at Stanford University found out otherwise.
“The first thing she found is that young people today write far more than any generation before them. That's because so much socializing takes place online, and it almost always involves text. Of all the writing that the Stanford students did, a stunning 38 percent of it took place out of the classroom--life writing, as Lunsford calls it. Those Twitter updates and lists of 25 things about yourself add up.” (via Noah Brier)
Don’t you just love conundrums? Even saying it feels so witty. Also, I will be away again these weekends so please be good & if it’s not much of a bother don’t forget to feed the cats for me. (Photo from things magazine)
