I thought todays class was really awesome; i loved seeing what
everybody came up with for their possible future. It seemed like this
time around there was a much better understanding of what was expected
of us and i was surpirsed by all of the groups creativity. Aside from
seeing how important it is to engage the audience, i also noticed that
getting the message across is alot more effective when the people
presenting it get into character and really know their stuff. It made
it more of an experience rather than just a presentation. I also
enjoyed being able to relate to many of the geographic locations, for
example the mission on diamond head. It made it that much easier for me
to place my self in the situation. It was really really cool to see
what kind of things that futureS program at UH does to increase
awareness, up until this point i wasn't really sure what kinds of
things they did, so it definitely gave me a better understanding of
what this class and futures studies is about. The scenarios they
created that we saw today were all very inventive, experimental, and
inspired. It's really encouraging to know that there are people out
there who are truly trying to make a difference by opening peoples eyes
to the possibility of futureS. It seems like such a great time to be
learning about futureS studies and its cool that we all get to play a
little part in the futures movement.
