How Megacities Are Changing The Way We Live
Amid a clutter of 24-hour arc lights gigantic cranes and dumper trucks a behemoth is rising out of a field of churned mud on the outskirts of Chengdu in south-west China. Commuters skirt its vast perimeter fence on their way to the new metro link that cuts under the city. They barely glance at what looks like just another huge construction project in a cityscape that changes every month.
This project though is different. When finished later this year its developers proudly boast it will be the worlds largest standalone building.
You may have seen the commercials on TV, but just last week, Lowes launched MyLowes, a handy little tool on their website, which stores and remembers nearly everything you cant seem to keep track of about your home. Log in (for free) and it will store and organize things like your paint color choices, furniture and fixture purchases and other home details. For example, you can log your air filter size and type, and it will automatically send you reminders to buy a new one, if you like. Itll even automatically save all the manuals for appliances you buy!
