THE PULSE OF A CITY

It is fascinating the fact that tweets are timestamped, that meant we could know what was happening when. The pulse tells a lot about a person’s’ mental, physical and emotional state, stressed or relaxed, active or chilling, excited or depressed. So our question was, if we considered the city as a person, could we know what’s it doing? how is it feeling or what is it thinking? If successful, would we start treating and holding it to the same standards we do ourselves and each other?
