To hide the drop-down menu, either click or tap again right in the center of the clock face, or refresh the page. To show the drop-down menu, click or tap right in the center of the clock face. When the site is in clock view, neither the drop-down menu nor the page menu are usually accessible. When the menu is open, pressing the "Hide menu" caption will close it back, thus freeing up screen space to view the clock better.
If you press it, the menu opens and the caption changes to "Hide menu". Initially, the menu is closed and its caption says "Main menu". The drop-down menu is provided as a convenience to you and has the exact same items as the menu at the bottom of the page. You can access the site features in 2 ways: from the menu at the bottom of the main page, or from the drop-down menu which is in a fixed position in the left-top corner of the main page. These problematic cities are indicated by a blinking asterisk next to them, and in the top right corner there's a small list that gives the accurate time for each one. So, the time for London on the clock in this image is 10:51 PM.įor a few towns, the actual hour differs from the one obtained this way (by at most one hour). Let's take for instance London, in the image below, to see how it works. (The minute is usually the same for all places in the world, with a few exceptions.) AM hours are indicated white, PM hours are blue. The hour of each city is given by the hour slot on which it is at the moment.
We suggest that the Internet of Places at community-scale is the next generation-infrastructure for community networks in the 40-year tradition of the Berkeley Community Memory.Hints for easily finding out the time in a town We identify a critical alternative for humankind of hyperlocal community, enabling greater citizen awareness, engagement, participation, and power. We describe design scenarios, prototypes, and user research at the scale of local community. IoP seeks to support awareness, engagement, and interaction pertaining to individual and collective human experiences, meaning making, activity, intentions, and values by computationally leveraging and integrating a wide range of human data with places to which those data refer. We draw on our own previous design research in community informatics to explore a critical elaboration of the Internet of Things: The Internet of Places (IoP). The Internet of Things integrates entities of the physical world by making them addressable through the Internet, and making the Internet accessible through physical objects. We discuss design challenges and opportunities of smartphone-based timebanking. We in particular present new affordances of smartphone technology on timebanking, including (1) transaction time reduction, (2) location and time-sensitive timebanking activity support, and (3) real-time coordination.
The results highlight the potential of timebanking for young population with an application that facilitates access to communications and transaction-management activities, and strengthens social connection and the sense of community attachment. In this paper, we introduce a timebanking smartphone application and present a 5-week user study with 32 young adults. Our design research attempts to address these issues by leveraging the unique affordances of smartphones and their attractiveness to young adults. Although timebanking takes advantage of web technologies, the lack of flexibility in managing web-based timebanking transactions and the difficulty of attracting younger adults whose contributions would be highly valuable to the community still remain as major challenges. Timebanking refers to community-based volunteering in which participants provide and receive services in exchange for time credits.
