Week 13

13 weeks of TWC over, time sure does fly really fast! But not that I'm complaining teehee :p These 13 weeks have proven to be useful in changing my perception of technology. In particular, I'm now more exposed to the various kinds of new technologies that I've discovered with the class over the weeks, and these emerging technologies have wow-ed me! It has made me aware of the up and coming technologies in the different fields and industries, something which i would never have discovered on my own.

So this last session of TWC saw the last few groups presenting their web report, including my group on Women & Technology- please visit us at HERE to learn more about how women do have intricate links to technology and we're really not noobs at it! Please take our polls too!!! Okay, don't mind the advertising. So this week we had 3 other groups, apart from my own, presenting. One was on armageddon, the second on diseases and technology and third on technology and art! I thought this week's range of presentations was pretty diverse, so that was really good in expanding the scope of learning for our class. The one which was caught my interest was the one on armageddon! I've always been interested in end-of-the-world stuff, such as movies like 2012, the day after tomorrow, etc. So i thought this topic on the end of the world and technology was nice to know about, will visit their site once i'm not as bogged down with work like I am now!

One other presentation that I thought to be informative was the one on diseases & the technology related to combat the spread of diseases! This group had an organised site which made it easy for users to navigate around and it seems really easy to obtain information without overloading us with facts at the same time. I thought this topic to be really relevant to everyone as it deals with health- our very being! They also offer information on various diseases on their site, including the most recent H1N1 swine flu, of which during the period I got quarantined with my friends, haha. And the rest of the other types of diseases listed there have information that everyone should gain knowledge of as well.

Lastly, I'd like to include a video which my group had shown in class (and is also on our site) to illustrate the preconceived notion that most people have- that women are noobs at technology. Hope you have a good laugh watching it!

And here's another one!

And to end off, I'd rate this session a 9/10!

Bye bye TWC.
