Every object has a name, a meaning, and a purpose. A Touch of Culture across History, Science, Economy, and Culture
Every object is born with a purpose, influenced by the cultural codes and necessities of its time. Yet, as time passes, once significant objects become so common that they lose their name, simply called “that thing.” “You know, that thing!” Life Pattern Korea.
<The Things Dictionary> embarks on a journey to uncover the names of everyday objects that we use but often don’t know how to call. Learning an object’s name is the first step to understanding its history and purpose. Life Pattern Korea. From the plastic tripod in the center of a pizza to the rotating tables in Chinese restaurants, and even the square plastic piece that adjusts a bag’s strap length, these “things” each hold stories that sharpen our view of everyday life.
While it may not be essential to know, discovering the true names and stories behind “that thing” can be delightful, intellectually engaging, and sometimes even surprising. Life Pattern Korea. This book not only expands our vocabulary but also offers the joy of encountering the small, unknown worlds hidden in plain sight.
