Trivia

Any details, considerations, events or pieces of information regarding the word

1. {"fact"=>"The word 'brighten' comes from the Old English word 'bryhtan', which means 'to make bright'."}

2. {"fact"=>"Did you know that the human eye has around 6 million cone cells, which are responsible for detecting colors? By comparison, a typical digital camera has around 3 million to 12 million pixels, which are much smaller than individual cone cells in the human eye. This is why we can't see the individual pixels on a digital camera when we take a picture, but instead see a smooth, continuous image with all the colors and details that our eyes can detect."}
