In this regard, Thunberg recently has brought more awareness to the impending climate catastrophe than any other person on the planet. As Time explains: The politics of climate action are as entrenched and complex as the phenomenon itself, and Thunberg has no magic solution. But she has succeeded in creating a global attitudinal shift, transforming millions of vague, middle-of-the-night anxieties into a worldwide movement calling for urgent change.

We’ve been sitting around campfires telling stories for tens of thousands of years, and we still do it. One reason why is because it’s an effective way to communicate: We remember stories. advertisement advertisement But what makes for good storytelling? Mark Magellan, a writer and designer at Ideo U, puts it this way: “To tell a story that someone will remember, it helps to understand his or her needs.

Earlier this month, Foursquare launched a special feature for users in Austin, Texas, called Hypertrending. The idea was to show off the company’s location tracking technology to attendees of the South by Southwest conference by creating a heat map of the city. The Hypertrending map ranked all of the public places in Austin based on how many people were in each location; during the conference, the Austin Convention Center was ranked first, with the local airport and the University of Texas second and third. You could also look at the most crowded restaurants, events, and nightlife–ostensibly to understand which places were happening and which weren’t. advertisement advertisement The experiment was only accessible in Austin and for the two weeks of the conference.
