I have to say, several details particularly stuck out to me from several of the presentations today as being very good ideas, some of which seem very much worth keeping in mind as potential inspiration for future presentations. One thing that can be said for all of them was that all seemed like things that, though some unexpected, could be related to current issues and ideas. Of the recycling presentation I particularly liked, as I had mentioned, the interaction with the audience. Another thing I found to be a very good tactic was the "news" article, because it both added another element and gave the audience something they could take away with them.
One thing I noticed that seemed to run through several of the "futures" was that many of them seemed not very positive. The best ones seemed to be neutral, such as the recycling, and to some degree the Mars colonization, while several others, my own groups included, portrayed fairly negative futures.

thats a really good point andrew.. i hadn't noticed before, but now that you mention it, there were hardly any groups that had optimistic portrayals of the future. i wonder what that means.. maybe its just the subconscious effects of the downward spiral that mankind seems to be on. it's quite sad though. having a healthy combination of both postive and negative futures would probably be the most beneficial, because then we would have somthing to work towards
