Technology New Year’s Resolutions we should all be making for 2015
People of the western world have been making resolutions for the new year for over 4,000 years. The Babylonians, along with the Romans who later developed the idea further, made resolutions in the hope of favourable returns from the gods.
In the current day, self-interest has become disintermediated from others and we now make resolutions that are largely about self-control and self-improvement, with the occasional thought given to being a nicer person to others.
