Posted Jun 11, 2013 by Ingrid Lunden (@ingridlunden) After months of speculation, the fate of Waze, the social-mapping-location-data startup, is finally decided: Google is buying the company, giving the search giant a social boost to its already-strong mapping and mobile businesses.
People don't blink when they're asleep. In a 24 hour day, most(?) people sleep for eight hours, so 15,360 would be a lot closer for an entire day. Also, anyone who uses a computer blinks a lot less than normal.
If that person is awake 16 hours per day. In 80 years a person would have blinked 448,512,000 times. 448,512,000 x.03 seconds per blink = 13,455,360 seconds of blinking / 60 seconds in a minute = 224,256 minutes / 60 minutes an hour =3,737.6 hours / 24 hours a day = 155.73 days of darkness in an 80 year span.
