7 billion people experienced this day in a different way
if we were to combine every single day experienced by humanity today and arranged them back to back in a linear arrangement it would take over 19 million years to watch the whole of it. the collective memory of all of us, over one day, is longer than our entire existence as homo sapiens
If you wanted to expand on this concept and make a movie out of it…
Life In A Day is a crowdsourced drama/documentary film comprising an arranged series of video clips selected from 80,000 clips submitted to the YouTube video sharing website, the clips showing respective occurrences from around the world on a single day, July 24, 2010.The film is 94 minutes 53 seconds long and includes scenes selected from 4,500 hours of footage in 80,000 submissions from 192 nations. The completed film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27, 2011 and the premiere was streamed live on YouTube. On October 31, 2011, YouTube announced that Life in a Day would be available for viewing on its website free of charge, and on DVD.
I bet there is no clip of me celebrating my birthday on this day 5 years ago. It sounds interesting though, even without it.
