    Clive Thompson on the Death of the Phone Call My phone bills are shrinking. Not, unfortunately, in cost. I mean they’re getting shorter. I recently found an old bill from a decade ago; it was fully 15 pages long, because back then I was making a ton of calls—about 20 long-distance ones a day. Today my bills are a meager two or three pages, at most. Odds are this has happened to you, too. According to Nielsen, the average number of mobile phone calls we make is dropping every year, after hitting a peak in 2007. And our calls are getting shorter: In 2005 they averaged three minutes in length; now they’re almost half that. We’re moving, in other words, toward a fascinating cultural transition: the death of the telephone call. This shift is particularly stark among the young. Some college students I know go days without talking into their smartphones at all. I was recently hanging out with a twentysomething entrepreneur who fumbled around for 30 seconds trying to find the option that actually let him dial someone. » via Wired

    Love by Steve Sechi A cool northern light, a barren landscape and deep black eyes that express a sort of worry or concern are the signs of works on canvas by Steve Sechi. A new exhibition entitled Love / Hate features perspectives on life and death, along with paintings that focus on dogs and ducks. Sechi’s grey-blue landscapes are peopled by angels, moose, couples, families and other recognizable characters from everyday life, but portrayed introspectively, with an air of fragility. (source)

    If You’re an Avid Internet User You may be More Cultured Than You Think

    REPORT: 59% of technology users are likely to attend live arts events such as musicals, art galleries, ballet and opera compared to 21% of non-technology users. On average, technology users attend six live events per year, while their non-technology counterparts only attend an average of three. The NEA believes that these findings indicate that arts engagement is enhanced, rather than decreased, as people use modern technology. (via lauterthanbombs)
