Digital Detox …How hard would it be for you to give up all electronic devices for 48 hours? Do you think you could do it? How about for $1000? Satellite Internet, a Salt Lake City-based Internet provider, is offering people to take the "Digital Detox Challenge." One randomly-selected applicant will be offered a cool grand to spend 48 hours living an RV parked at a U.S. national park without any Internet or phone service.
When the 48 hours are up, the newly digitally-detoxed winner will be provided an Internet hotspot so that they could post about their experience online. Applicants must be at least 25 years old and have a valid driver's license. A winner will be selected on September 23rd.

Sure, some toddlers are not happy about getting disrupted duringPaw Patrol, but more often than not, your heart will absolutely melt when you see how much they love showing mom or dad affection. It’s a great reminder to simply stop and have a cuddle every once in a while. If you need a smile, it’s certainly the sweetest thing you’ll see all day. (GMA)
Would you use a see-through bathroom … in the middle of a public park?Using a public bathroom is unpleasant enough. Imagine if you really had to go and the only public restroom was completely see-through so anyone walking by could see your business. Sounds nightmarish, but that’s exactly what was recently installed at a public park in Tokyo. Well, OK, not exactly. The bathrooms are transparent when they are unoccupied -- but once you enter, the glass walls become opaque for privacy. The point of the design is to change the way people view public restrooms by encouraging cleanliness and attractiveness with a high-tech design. Parents are really loving the design because they can see the facilities are unoccupied before letting kids in -- and they can feel secure waiting outside for children that want to use the restroom alone.Not a bad idea, actually …(Daily Motion)
