I feel that there's alot of new improvements that technology can offer us as we progress in technological developments. Even books can be electronized these days. Its benefits include us not having to carry around heavy loads of books to school and it'll free our hands, making things so much more convenient for us. I notice that school children these days are carry really heavy loads to school, even for primary schoolers, it'll have cause potential harm to their bones in the long run like bad postures etc. E-books are also able to store many stories into a device and we could have access to many books at one time! I think that with the introduction of e-books, reading can be more fun where animation is possible and it'll illustrate messages the author would like to convey more easily. My thoughts are being brought back to scenes of Harry Potter movies where their newpapers'images can magically move. I'm not sure if the use of e-books would ever escalate to that point but we're definitely one step closer to something similar.
I think that there's a need to somewhat change the way books are read. No doubt many would still enjoy the conventional methods of reading, perhaps changing the way we bring stories to people can change their mentality about reading. I mean, if reading could be made fun for people who hate reading, then more people would be engaged and motivated to learn more on their own through the potentials of e-books.
Interesting presentations:
The group's presentation on e-books was a very good effort made on the teams part considering they had come up with a story line to take us through the benefits of e-books through the use of videos. I do think that e-books is the way to go. However, we have to remember that e-books would require the use of batteries. We can have all the convenience in the world with the many books we have in stored the device, but the moment the batteries are used up, it'll be troublesome to get them charged up wherever we are. Also, battery life-spans may not be that long.
2) weather control
I have always been fascinated by the weather and how they can change in mere seconds. The weather is something we all have to go through. Hot, sunny, humid in Singapore and cooling elsewhere. I would personally feel that if Singapore could be cooler in its temperature, it'll be the best place in the world to live in. As much as I would love to change Singapore's weather, I think that nature has its way of doing things and we should not reverse the flow of nature. I think that everything in a place is adapted to the weather and such, so the end result of changing the weather if possible, would result in possible loss of certain plant or animal species.
Overall, I feel that the last session had ended really well with the remaining groups giving their presentations. It was insightful and many other interesting topics were touched on. It'd give the session a 10.
