1.1 Introduction
Lecturers’ birthday alarm system is a simple program that reminds users of important birthdays. There's not much to it, but it does provide birthday reminders as promised (CNET, 2021). A birthday constitutes a ritual milestone that takes place in the present and connects the past and future. This special day marks the passage of time, and is also a consequence of the biological maturation, growth, and aging that ties humans to linear time. The tradition of celebrating an individual’s day of birth is thought to have existed from the ancient times (Salzman, 2012). Socially, a birthday usually involves a party that focuses on him. In episodic time, it is also a public occasion in which the social status of a person changes; A 26-year-old child becomes a proud 27-year-old on that special day. However, birthdays are not celebrated at any chosen time, but only on the date of birth, because this is the cultural construction of time as a cyclical system.
