NEW WEBSITE GIVES WAKE-UP CALL TO THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
A new website calculates
how many chances are left for those living separately from their parents to
meet them before they are no more. Luke Tipping an advertising professional
from London sails in the same boat like many other working youngsters in different
professions who live away from parents. When there is a string of holidays,
should he just hang out with his friends and chill out or should he head for
his parents’ home? To resolve this dilemma, Tipping developed a website called ‘seeyourfolks.com’
with a few of his friends in less than 24 hours. It calculates how much time is
left before they never see their parents again. The calculation is based on
data collected from WHO (World Health Organisation) on country-specific life
expectancy and the average number of times they meet with their parents in a
year. The site has attracted many visitors from all over the world. The results
can be stunning as it only underscores the fact that life and death wait for no
one. The banner on this domain is startling. It reminds the young that they are
so busy in their careers that they forget that their parents are also growing
old. “Increasing awareness of death can help us to make most of our lives”,
says the website.
