What is Japan Doing Now?
February 8, 2009
And five minutes ago, in three hours, or at 9:55 on Saturday night. What’s Japan up to? Let’s find out with some graphs. Let’s get specific, too. How many women with part-time jobs are walking their dog at 3am? Yeah, we’ve got that.
Let’s jump right into this: Japan has the absolute best census in the history of my known world. Not only does it include normal things like age, sex, and the height of each of your pets, but it also legitimizes the gossipy question of What Are You Doing Right Now? Japan slapped a bunch of people with notebooks and a sacred Numbers Mission: keep a log of what you do during the day, in fifteen minute intervals. And those people did!

Keeping track of what people do every so minutes sometimes creeps me out. The next thing you’ll know, we will have Big Brother watching us all the time…if you know what I mean.
Well now, it is easy to take the slippery slope route
