Mobile application design and development has been ‘the thing’ as of late. With the growing prominence of smartphones, more and more applications are developed. It’s like, we have an app for everything, right?
What makes it even more amazing is that this year, the projected number of smartphone users will be 1.75 billion.
When you read the term "This Year" you wonder which Year is the author referring to since the article that you are reading is not necessarily the latest one and the term "This Year" is such a relative reference... It could even mean 5 years ago if you are reading a relatively old article from the internet....
To solve this problem of relativity for the Year or month in context.... I expect a system, an approach a tag attribute or even a web service for the reason which will take care of the relative reference of time when one refers to this
Year, this Month, this Day or this Hour as to when exactly was this mentioned may be based on the Day Date Time and Year when the article was published and how much time has already passed since then so that the reader can appropriately judge the validity of the context and relativity of the subject matter pertaining to the present time NOW!
For example an article on cricketer Sachin Tendulakar reads today is a the 38th birthday of the God of cricket [ whose current age is 42 Years (DOB-24th April 1973 - Source Wikipedia) as of 2:27 PM 4/5/2016 ]
This would mean that the article is already four years old and the text reference would be great if it reads - Today is the 42nd birthday of the God of cricket!
Expected solutions with Further applications are -
A Reference of when this article was first Published / Edited / Updated
A Correction in Time Reference of the subject or Protagonist - For Eg: 38th Birthday (4 Years ago) and 42nd Birthday as of today!
Solution Proposition in HTML - An (Age)(/age) tag which encapsulates such relative content Specially useful for News articles and Blogs
