Minute paper (2-28-08)

Class is getting interesting every day and today was one of those days.
More activities and exposure to future studies impact great influence
to the area of the futurists. We worked in groups to come up with an
awareness plan for the futures of Hawaii and New Orleans if a hurricane
and tsunami hit them. There were a lot of good ideas to go about
executing the awareness plan based on different scenario in Hawaii and
New Orleans. The most part that catches my attention today are all the
different methods of how to approach the scenarios of the future to the
people by using every forms of media notification. Some of these
approaches are very unique and it's something that most people would
not think about it. For example, using hypothetical, technological and
commercial as a medium exchange to display the reality or assumption of
different future scenarios. Going back to the argument raised by the
idea bring out by Shane that the whole problem about Hurricane Katrina
in New Orleans shouldn't be to blame who is responsible and who did
wrong or right, but it all goes back to the past that New Orleans
shouldn't be there at that location in the first place having that the
location is below sea level. Turning around the reality of the city of
New Orleans to be at this location the people should all work together
to solve the problems not blaming one another. Plus, awareness plan and
hurricane evacuation plan drill should be mandatory and for the people
to be knowledgeable of the situation.
