Real Life Emoji
Emojis are everywhere in the digital world. Sometimes they are fun, sometimes very annoying. Some people switched from words to them to communicate. You neither can tell the meaning of some of them but don’t worry, they are confined to the virtual world. Wrong!

Historic Events On Instagram
What if Einstein had Instagram when he discovered the relativity, or if Armstrong posted a wonderful #nofilter of himself on the moon?

Chinese Replica of Paris
Tianducheng is a Chinese town in Zhejiang province, not far from Shanghai. If you go there you will be confronted by a 354-feet replica of the Eiffel Tower. Development on this Paris replica began in 2007, but apparently it is a ghost town now, like many others in China. What’s truly curious about these ghost towns though is that some of them have been designed as replicas of Italian, German, English, and French towns. Anyway none of them will be like Tianducheng, the city of love.

UN Women has created an advertising campaign that uses data collected from Google on the most popular search terms, to emphasize the wideness of global gender inequality in 2013.
