Week 12

We have finally come to the final presentations from each of the group. In this week's TWC session, a total of 4 groups presented and were given comments on. There was Group A who did a project on e-business and online shopping. The difference between the traditional brick and mortar business model compared to the online sensation. The next group was group B who did a project on online dating, finding love online. This group talked a lot about the services e-dating websites have, the history of e-dating and also the impacts on us as we get more and more exposed to online dating The trend towards this is believed to be positive and that more people might do e-dating but the fear that we would lose ourselves in the sense that we might only become able to communicate only through the computer and online, we might lose the competence in face-to-face interaction. The next group c was mine, we did a project on kinectic technology and here's the link to our website: http://www.wix.com/jjwses/twc-2011. we talked about the past present and future of kinectic technology and the trend shows that we would be moving towards a self-sufficient model, meaning to say that kinectic energy would be harnessed on an individual level and not mass produced. Do check out our website as there are many interesting innovations such as the windshirts, tiles and resonance harvester. The last group that presented did a project on gm-food. It was rather a novel idea of them to bring 2 different rices to allow us to try to taste the difference. But they lacked the ability to prove that one of the rice was not gm-food, and only the TA tried them. Overall, we could see that all of us put effort into doing up the website but we still have much to learn and explore to be able to do up the website and ensure coherence, fluency and having enough content and background information so that new readers will be able to catch what we are trying to put across:)
