4 group presentations this week wrapped up the last session of our TWC module and it proved to be yet another fruitful lesson!
Lucas's group covered Technology and Armageddon and the role playing manner of presentation was a plus point. It is interesting because it is always discussed that, given the amount of harm we're doing to Earth, how long can it survive and when is the end of the world?
Then our group gave our views on Diseases and Technology to combat it, to give hope to others and to spread the awareness. our solutions were centred around developing technological equipment to help people keep track of their health status /to detect any potential diseases which one may catch, but at the same time to create awareness so that they could help in the prevention of its spread.
the 3rd group focused on Technology and the Art. This is actually a very interesting topic as they group expounded on how technology like lighting and visuals help to piece together modern art pieces. On a side note, they presented tooo much content during their presentation and thus lost my attention midway.
Lastly, Prema's group web report was on Women and Technology, and this I especially liked. Their transition from one speaker to another using videos was smart and the content was sufficient. However, they went the extra mile to provide some other information/content that women would like such as online shopping. Not only did they cover on how technology has empowered women in their website, they also seeked to enhance the level of interest with the incorporation of online shop's website. This is actually very interesting.
On the whole, this session's presentation was enriching and a good conclusion to the entire TWC module. I'd give an 8/10! :)
Although this may mark the end of being formally educated about Technology and World Change, I believe that learning does not stop here. TWC has sparked my interest in exploring and I shall continue to keep abreast of the latest technologies and its impact on changing the world. :)

It is indeed a comforting sign to observe such enthusiasm emanating from a fellow SMU undergraduate; Technology and World Change offers an invaluable explanation on how we have gotten where we are today and where are we headed towards in the future.
ReplyDeleteAnother learning resource which I highly recommend is the "Guns, Germs and Steel" documentary series, where Professor Jared Diamond argues that gaps in power and technology between human civilisations originate from environmental differences.
Once again, thank you for sharing your learning experience!
