Core77’s editors spend time combing through the news so you don’t have to. Here’s a weekly roundup of our favorite stories from the World Wide Web.
Time Magazine Publishes the 100 Most Influential Photos of All Time
Lunch Atop a Skyscraper, Unknown, 1932
An incredible collection showing pivotal moments in history and culture over the past 200 years.
From the web site: “There is no formula that makes a picture influential. Some images are on our list because they were the first of their kind, others because they shaped the way we think. And some made the cut because they directly changed the way we live. What all 100 share is that they are turning points in our human experience.”
—Stuart Constantine, publisher and managing partner
The New Like
A dense history of the word like—where it began, how it has evolved over time and how we use it today. This article serves as a thorough reminder of the power of language, its ever-changing nature and how deep the roots of one word can be.
“The new like is associated with hesitation. It is common to label the newer generations as harboring a fear of venturing a definite statement.”
—Emily Engle, editorial assistant
Global Warming’s Affect on the Fashion Industry
Don’t believe in global warming? Fund managers are bailing out of winter apparel manufacturer stocks. “Fifteen of the 16 warmest years on record have been in the 21st Century,” and as winters become shorter and warmer, those who make cold-weather clothing are having a harder time selling it. For instance, Uggs “will expand its non-shearling styles next year to extend the brand’s seasonal relevance.”
