3 Things to do

When asked what objects have changed the world, most people might say the wheel. But many other inventions have transformed the world too.

One of the top picks on the Google Arts & Culture page is a story about 11 such objects, including masks, nails, arrowheads, light bulbs and jet planes.

For example, on Oct 21, 1879, Thomas Edison invented the first commercially viable electric light.

The American and his team had to find a filament that was both durable and inexpensive, which proved difficult.

They tried more than 6,000 combinations before they found a winner - carbonised bamboo. Mr Edison's light bulb became the first easily manufactured and affordable electric light source.

Likely the hottest K-drama right now, Vincenzo has been firmly lodged on Netflix's top 10 list in Singapore.

The 20 episodes follow lawyer Vincenzo Cassano, played by South Korean heart-throb Song Joong-ki, who gets involved in a battle with a powerful pharmaceutical company that is willing to sacrifice human lives for profit. It is the ninth-highest-rated drama in South Korean cable TV history.

The biggest draw here is Song, of Descendants Of The Sun (2016) fame, who plays an anti-hero in this story about revenge and seeking justice the mafia way.

But the other cast members - such as Taecyeon, the main rapper of South Korean boy band 2PM, and Jeon Yeo-been, who was named Actress of the Year at the 22nd Busan International Film Festival for the mystery drama After My Death (2017) - also make this a must-see.
