Light Pollution: Living in the Light

Well, there's two types of people in the world and there's: People who love the day and people who love the night (kind of like night owls). Now for the day people, this particular post may be fine with them but, I can't say the same for the night owls.

Imagine living in a city so bright that you can't even tell its night time? Bright enough to be seen by a satellite? Sounds insane right? Not really, it turns out there's over 45 different cities who are living just like that.

Personally, I don't like the idea of living in a city so bright because then I'd get confused with night and day at times. I feel as if it would be more difficult to live in a city like that because you'd never get the lights to stop peering through your window even when you're shutting them closed. It affects me by making me feel that night time is added to the day and we'll have to deal with the countless cars and lights from the downtown area. For me, I like the lights blinking and shining but I don't think I'd like it as much to have it all day and all night.

I think it impacts the world by producing light pollution. See, it can mess with things around the Earth and make animals or even other related things think that it's daytime but it's not. Producing this much light all around the world affects the growth of certain things for people and animals all over. You might not think it but in time it can be a serious problem. Not only is it producing light pollution, it's producing all kinds of pollution to create that light that looks so pretty. Using generators, gas, coal, and other minerals or substances to power this much electricity. It doesn't look like this is headed in the right direction, but that may just be my opinion after all.

Blog Post #4 Twitter's Name and Logo...

Hey! Have you been on Twitch lately? Oh, I'm sorry I mean Smssy!

You don't know what I'm talking about? That's okay, those names came close to being the name of Twitter.
Weird right? I'm going to share with you this week about this particular thing.
It sounds really unusual doesn't it, Twitter being called other names. Not only other names but a totally different logo to go with it.

Twitter, with the blue bird. It's one of the most recognizable logos right? Imagine it almost wasn't like that at all. The article "Twitter Was Almost Called Smssy (and Almost Looked Awful, Too)" says "According to a post on Bilton's blog, the founders of Twitter bounced around plenty of ideas, and most—but not all—of the logos for were created by co-founder Biz Stone. There are some shockers in there. Stone played around with the big green speech bubble (not too bad), as well as a "retro Atari vibe" for a vowel less Twttr (which deserves to be filed in the trash)."
So in the article, it's basically saying how bad the names were and how distasteful the logos were going to be. 

I think that it was a good thing that they were sticking with the name "Twitter" and the little bird logo they have to go with it. To me personally, it doesn't affect me seeing how I don't get on Twitter often, but I think I wouldn't like it as much anyway. I mean, to me at least Twitter seems like a pretty good name already and I'm glad they didn't go for something else. When I used to get on Twitter, I found it very nice and it didn't sound or look childish. I think if they went for a different name and logo, it wouldn't be as popular as it is today.

Changing the name of Twitter would have an impact because you wouldn't see celebrities talking about it all the time and there would be less and less drama. Why? Because it sounds childish saying you were having a fight on Twitch, or Smssy than it does on Twitter. Fighting period on the Internet is childish but with a name like those, people wouldn't want to get on it as much, then they wouldn't talk about other people as bad. The downside for Twitter would be it's popularity would take a downfall. That's all I really have to say for the name change of Twitter.
