Your desk would have piles of invitations, people would come poke you unexpectedly and you would get banana trees and cows out of the blue.
Life itself would start losing fans. And get dislikes.
Would you like to:
a) confirm
b) deny
c) ignore
These statements.

I can only guess that Eric Fischer thought of this when he designed the following maps. The red dots show the most popular photo spots among tourists. The blue ones are the popular photo spots for locals. The yellow ones are undetermined.
The author used the GPS information of images on Flickr, combined with the home city of the user taking a certain photo.
Now sit back and make your holiday itinerary, the summer vacation is so close.

It all starts back in 1886 in the U.S. when several hundred thousand workers won the right to work only 8 h/day for the same pay check.
Nowadays, for the 1st of May we work 0 h/day. Sometimes, if it’s on a Tuesday, we don’t work on Monday either.
So it took about 130 years to go from 8 to 0, how long do you think it will take to go from 1 day to 1 week?

Although some say that the internet/the cloud/the web is toxic for kids, others sustain that it could be healthy.
And here you are – another dilemma. What should you do? Is it good? Is it bad? What to choose? How can you find some more time? And so on.
It’s a serious matter. It’s about your kid. And you want to be the best parent ever.
I think that the answer (although it’s not really an answer) is „moderately”. What’s a lot is too much, and what’s a little, it’s missing.
After all, the kid falls, gets up, cries, laughs, hurts, gets over it and so on.
Even if I’m not a parent, I think we should protect him/her „moderately” (a thin line between freedom and control).
But then again, why am I to give advices?
Anyway, I’m going to watch Silly Symphonies again. I can barely wait to show them to my future child.
Good luck to all the parents out there (classical ones, 1.0, bio, 2.0, trendy, retro, 3.0, cool and so on)!
