Why Do I Like Windows So Much March 30, 2007
Posted by soniadomain in : Uncategorized , trackbackHere I have to confess that I do like windows in life and this is the reason why. As I wrote in my previous posting about pedestrian crossing, an intersection may become a dangerous place to meet.
Let us assume that a driver listens to a radio and a pedestrian makes a call on his mobile and asks to play a song for his high school sweetheart, who happens to be driver’s wife. The car driver may get mad if he overhears the call. If he runs the red light, he may run over the other cars too. On the other hand a smart broadcaster will smoother a conversation a bit to let the truth out and listeners may hear that a broken hearted man wants the love of his life to listen to a song. Here a broadcaster, an independent 3rd party, acts like a “window” to screen out the request details. The odds are that a true life story will not make a driver feel bad are higher than a senseless demand for a gratification of someone’s super-inflated ego.
So, to summarize, windows and windshields in particular in combination with a true story telling is a best guard against malicious sound disturbances. This is why I feel weird when someone tells me that we must break windows to get to the next level of the social progress. Constant awareness of surroundings enforced by $100 fine for wearing iPod or talking on a cellphone proposed by NY Senator Carl Cruger will help to solve this problem.
