Weâre starting this foggy Thursday morning with a look back at the life of a Vancouver music great, as well as an important research study that may validate some of the time you spend looking at animals on Instagram.
Fun Fact of the day:
Most people find that looking at cute animals can be a mood-booster, but that might not be the only benefit.
In 2012, Japanese researchers Hiroshi Nittono, Michiko Fukushima, Akihiro Yano and Hiroki Moriya published The Power of Kawaii, a study in which they found that cute objects may be used as an âemotion elicitor to induce careful behavioral tendencies in specific situations, such as driving and office work.â
In other words, taking a minute or two to scroll through some kitten and puppy images could make the rest of your day more productive. Time to test the theory out!
