As I arose from my bed today, I felt very under the weather. As the lecture began, I couldn’t help, but look forward to going to the campus store and getting some Dayquil. Immediately following my pessimistic attitude, I began to become interested in the topic being focused on. Watching videos about the future of cell phones, concept cars, and so much more, is extremely interesting to me. Although my body was and still is at war with a virus, I still enjoyed myself in the lecture. The lecture really inspired me to think more creatively with my project. I began to think of more illustrative ways to represent the flagella like structure of my nanobots. I even tried to make my video less wordy, and more creative and powerful. When I continued to research drug related overdoses, and current treatments I asked myself, “How can I make this more interesting, and have it be in a better presentable manner?” This allowed me to reword what I had written, and inspired to watch news videos regarding the topic. Today scientists and artists came together, to imagine the impossible.
The lecture also inspired me to look up what the current concept cars and future cell phones are in the making. Although driving Hummers are not politically correct to drive, the Hummer HX concept car is something to be proud to drive. It will use flex fuel and will have two doors and will be an open air model. Another words, it’s lighter and has a removable roof. This is just one of so many cars that will transform how society currently gets from A to B. Seeing the video on silicon computer chips, I began to think how they are precisely developed. As I cycled through internet sites, I discovered an article regarding Apple hiring chip designers for future Apple products. As any true Apple fan, I had to read the article. Wired Magazine had many ambitions for the possibilities of doing this as do I. In the prospect of concept cell phones, this could make even more extraordinary iPhones and Apple products. Today’s lecture was enjoyable to listen to and I think that if I didn’t feel so ill, I would have liked it anymore. As I conclude this blog, I have to mention how much fun I had conducting the experiments. I really enjoyed the hands on lab we did as well.
