Origination week 12

• PART 1: Group Research (20 mins)


• Using YouTube choose one video for each of the concepts below
1. Communication Methods
the communication methods group showed us a video on youtube called "the future of communication" which explained that in the distant future majority of the earth would communicate virally through the internet on social network sites such as, Face Book, Myspace and many others. link to the youtube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu0ztxdsFis
2. Emerging Technologies
This group has searched up "3D television without the glasses" because normally when you watch a 3D television you need to wear the lenticular glasses to get the 3D effect, but the new television being shown this their youtube link, shows us that the Televisions are being manufactured with this lenticular glass on the television so you still get the full 3D effect. here is the link to the youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4VidUn-3xA

3. Idea adaptation
our group was given the task to find a video on youtube relating to Idea adaptation.
we came across the militaries big dog project
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHJJQ0zNNOM
it is a robotic dog like machine made to carry out army supplies such as equipment, food, cargo and even help carry the wounded.
The big dog in the youtube link shows us a glimpse of what it can do, by traveling on different surfaces & terrains and also any casualties it may encounter traveling in normal suburban areas or in war torn fields. the big dog will hopefully begin manufacturing in the distant future because it is a great concept idea and many people will benefit from its uses, because they carry an average of 25 kilos of equipment, and carrying that over a long distance could be dreadful and fatal.

• PART 2: Group presentations: (25 mins)
Each video must be prefaced by a verbal explanation of why the chosen clips
demonstrate the research topics above


 when we got up in front of the class for the individual speeches, we each talked about different uses this new invention could help the army travel/ transport cargo in remote places. for example it could be helping in carry equipment through snow, up hill and even snow covered hills

  1. This is too sketchy.
    500 words minimum and please address the 3 concepts.
    1. Communication Methods
    2. Emerging Technologies
    3. Idea adaptation

    There is not enough critical thought here - simply 99 words of general observation.
