CommonalityStrangers feel more comfortable in superficially familiar groups. This creates a common ground.

Hidden CommonalityAspects of individuals that are similar can be hidden. This common ground could bring people who have differ-ences together.

BirthdaysOne thing people have in common is having a birth-day. This concept will allow people to experience diverse attitudes across cultures, geographic locations, and age ranges through the com-monality of birthdays. This design:

1. Lets you update your “status” on your birthday. You can share an image and leave a reflective comment for that birthday.

2. You get to see what others are doing. For example, I can browse a different geograph-ical location, age range, etc...

Data can readily be obtained from social media sites to obtain a broad picture, while users must join to see posts.

Just a small gathering with some friends I’m so excited, I hope I get what I want for my birthday!

Oh no, I’m losing my hair. I really hate get-ting older.
