Happy birthday, Windows 95
Life, James Hein, Published on 02/09/2020
» Exactly 25 years ago on Monday, Aug 25, Microsoft launched Windows 95. This was a pivotal time in computer history. At that time in the US, only about 20% of households had a computer and most of them were either techies or nerds. The World Wide Web was just starting to grow and the word processor and spreadsheet were also in their early days. Windows 95 changed the landscape from the earlier 16-bit technology to a 32-bit operating system and added a bunch of new features and extensions. It was the first time we saw the start button, long filenames, right-click context menus and the recycle bin along with Plug and Play technology. For those that had a drive, there was a CD for installing programmes and of course the FreeCell game, which I still play today. The marketing campaign, which featured The Rolling Stones, actually had people buying Windows 95 without even owning a computer.

» Chiang Mai is well known for its spectacular landscapes and natural attractions, but in the past few years, this beautiful city has topped the world list of worst air quality as ranked by Air Visual, an app monitoring air pollution. When artist Rattanakan Kanchanaphanbun moved from Chiang Mai to work in Bangkok, she experienced a high level of PM2.5 dust in the capital. However, the Chiang Mai native was surprised to see that the reaction to air pollution in Bangkok gained greater attention. That inspired her to speak out for Chiang Mai people through the art exhibition "796 Kilometers Hear / Say: Chiang Mai -- Bangkok Dialogue", which is one of eight exhibitions in the "Early Years Project #5 By Millcon: Fluidity Of Change" created by selected young artists at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC).
