For all known events-phenomena, we, as a rule, have our own points of view. And over time, our attitude to the same things may change. Sometimes - to change dramatically (such as the attitude to our own historical events, and to what is happening, and some people)
It seemed to me interesting to try to track how our views change (including ourselves) in relation to the same things, after some time.
For example, here are the associations with the word "Africa"
at 6 years old - "Lim-in, there are evil gorillas / crocodiles, it is better not to walk there"
at 11 years old - "there are lion hunters, travels, adventures"
at 16 years of age - “there are heaps of diamonds, naked black women; palm trees and coconuts
at 21 - “there is poverty, civil wars, and AIDS”
at the age of 26, “an undeveloped continent. The industry is weak, mainly working on export and tourism. corruption, hunger. nature photos are very beautiful. ”
In this way, I propose to implement the task: to create a website-service, where a person will be offered to express his views (in a few simple sentences) to the concepts defined by the service:
- 5 famous people (Einstein, Napoleon, Lenin, Elvis Presley, ..)
- 5 large countries (Russia, China, USA, India, ... + own country)
- 5 significant phenomena of world history (the invention of antibiotics, barbed wire, or democracy; the 2nd World War, the formation of the United States / USSR, etc.)
- 5 artists
- 5 books (War and Peace, Bible, Koran, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Little Prince, ..)
Further, the same list of 5x5 is offered, but the person himself defines the concepts, and he himself expresses his attitude towards them.
As a result, the user writes opinions about 50 very different phenomena, and clicks the "[Save]" button :)
After 365 days, a reminder will be sent to him by e-mail, and he is asked to enter his _the current attitude to the very things he commented on a year ago.
At the same time, in order that his answer would not be biased, the old answers are not shown at first. After the user fills in all the fields and clicks on [Save], the answers for the previous year and the current answers will appear. They will be visible together for a week, and then also disappear from the user's eyes for a year. And in a year another reminder will come, and so on.
After some time (5 years? 10?), It would be interesting to see for myself how my opinion / attitude changed for something, and how it changed, to track some tendencies.
Actually, that's all.
You can come up with all sorts of Web 2.0 bloat, like what to see the views of other users of the service on the same issues, or discuss them. But these are details.
So it goes.
