Alarm clock

One morning in high school, I overslept my alarm. With only about ten minutes to get ready, I did the bare necessities: brushed my teeth, combed my hair, and threw on the nearest clothes I could find, slipping on my backpack to rush out the door. I didn’t have the time to put on makeup. In second period, John did a double take at me and said, “Wow, you look tired.” The irony was that I actually slept an extra hour that morning, but to him my natural under eye bags looked like exhaustion. In…

from the London based financial information company taps into the need of people for leisure and calls them to thoughtful action about investments through pathos, logos and irony. The at first glance simple arrangement of a sentence fragment and clock parts creates a competition between money and time to entice adult readers new to the investment world to use the company for financial advice; cultured and expected responses are used in a negative light to engender trust and curiosity about the…

Intro In my world, everyone is born with a timer already implanted on their wrists. No one knows how or why we’re born with it: all we know is that it counts down to the moment you meet your soulmate. It took ages for people to reach this conclusion and still, it has been at the peak of human curiosity for as long as I could remember. The Timer has inspired a generous amount of literature (including many famous ones) and even more conspiracy theories than the universal question of life itself.…

The Very Best “Ash blacked out! Ash scurried to the nearest Pokemon center protecting his Pokemon from further harm.” At this point, I shouted, “NO!” and threw my Gameboy to the ground in frustration.

My dream of becoming a Pokemon Master was over. ‘Pokemon’ is a video game in which players journey through a virtual world, collecting monsters and battling to be the very best. When I was in elementary…

Waking up on August 30, 2017, it felt like any other morning: ordinary. I had been in Tokyo for the summer to intern at Kure Engineering Ltd. and everyday I would wake up around 8 am to get ready to leave by 9 am, and my aunt and I would turn on the tv to watch the news before we left. That day was supposed to be no different. However, everything changed when the I turned the tv on.

Ain’t Money Douglas speaks about “The End of Time”, physical clocks are something in “the now”. “On the analog clock, each second is a portion of a minute, and each minute a portion of the day. Time is in motion. On the digital clock, time is static. A number. A now.” (Time Ain’t Money, Douglas Rushkoff, pg. 114). Rushkoff attributes this as a “timeless” factor, as if it doesn’t exist anymore because it’s now being taken over by digital clock. “This new, a-historical experience of time changes…

• Why is it important to document risks and risk information gathered from various sources? Documenting risks is the first step in determining if a risk likely to come to pass and what kind of impact the risk will have on the project. Without having a good list of risks the project team could get blindsided by an event or issue which could have mitigated or avoided early in the process.
