Lesson #12

We had 4 groups presenting this lesson, one of which was my group. Anyway, in order of who went first:

First group did the topic on The End: Technology and Armageddon. They had role playing too, a darth vadar guy, a guy in thrash bag, and the others. If armageddon were to stike Earth, obviously we would all die, hence they introduced the idea of having cyborgs apart from us humans and robots which exists today. Cyborgs would survive all these, and is at the top of the pyramid, hierachy-wise.

Our group went next, we did on Diseases and the technology related to combat the spread of disesases. More specifically, we did on infectious diseases like Malaria, Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS as they are more prevalent in developing countries, and we want to spread awareness through our website, so that people will be more aware and know the preventative and curative measures to undertake. Role playing again, we had Nickolas as the businessman, who is the CEO (Chief Everything Officer) of SHABABIES Medical Wing and wants to create a website that has all these info on infectious diseases. Hence his IT man Xun Kai sets up the websites. Tracy the historian talks about the timeline, the two doctors KangSheng and I did on case studies and current technologies, while Matthew the (mad) scientist did on future technology. I really love my group, and I felt that we did well as a team. By the way, SHABABIES stands for Spreading Health Awareness, Bringing About Better Implementation to Educational Sustainability.

Next group did on Technology and Art, and how technology has helped revolutionise the art world today, and yet some might think it is spoiling it instead. To be honest, I felt that their presentation was a little too long and monotonous as well. However, the topic is sure unconventional and interesting to note.

Lastly, the group surprised me with another unconventional topic that is bound to interest me, Women and Technology. They made use of a lot of videos that they produced by themselves as well, and the topics covered were really interesting. So was their website, as they had a lot of women related stuffs, like even polls, blogshops etc. They talked about the traditional stereotype view of people that women are not good with technology, which they already proved wrong as they are a all female team! (:

Well, that concludes TWC lesson this sem. It was surely an interesting module, and I learnt a lot about Technology, and how it changes the world. Every second, something new somewhere else in the world is created, by a change leader. We CAN be a change leader, if we dare to take the step forward and lead, rather than following the changes. Technology? I'm not so afraid of it, and less of a noob now! (:
