This week we started off with the second half of the classes EP presentations and group current event presentations. I got the morning started off by presenting my mother as my EP and shared with the class some of her finest memories relating back to her childhood and her Native American ancestry. I was really excited to present because I knew it would give me a chance to not only talk about how awesome my mother is but also allow others to learn a little bit about Native American culture. I was glad that the class enjoyed my physical element that I created which were three dream catchers that had symbolic meaning for my mother. After my presentation, others in the class shared their EP’s stories and it was such an honor and inspiring to hear about their life and achievements. Later in the morning we began the group current event presentations which were full of interesting topics. The group that stood out to me the most was the group that discussed how in Europe they are proposing that robots act as caretakers for seniors. This topic sparked amazing discourse because the idea that robots could assist seniors I believe could be a positive thing in terms of medication reminders or some type of digital interface where doctors could communicate directly with seniors through the robot for example. On the other hand, cost was brought up and who would be able to afford this type of technology and would this lead to further widening the gap in healthcare based on income. In the end it was a nice day full of great presentations and conversations.
