1. Which types of mentor texts did you engage with this week? Which one was the most interesting to you?

I engaged in a short narrative the non fiction genre. the story was called wish you were

2. How did this text challenge or expand your understanding of the future?

the story taught me about the dangers of technology and how dangerous it can be if used for the wrong reasons and used by the wrong people. it also taught me about what and how much information I upload onto the internet and if it can be used against me.

3. Did this text raise any questions, excitement, or uncertainties about the future? If so, what are they?

the main question the text raised for me was if this can really happen in real life and if so, would it be considered illegal. it also makes me wonder about who would do something like this if we had the technological capabilities, would a large corrupt company do this to have control over people or would a mad computer scientist make something like this just for his ammusement.

1. Which types of mentor texts did you engage with this week? Which one was the most interesting to you? - I engaged with an episode of the show Black Mirror, it was called Hated in the Nation. This was a visual text written by Charlie Brooker and directed by James Hawes.

2. How did this text challenge or expand your understanding of the future? - I thought about how it was really interesting little robot bees had been created to replace the real bees due to colony collapse - this seemed first like a really cool way to fix the problem if we really didn't have bees due to environmental concerns. However, my opinion quickly changed when I realised that of course people were going to be under surveillance by the government with a program like that and that's a bit of a scary thought.

3. Did this text raise any questions, excitement, or uncertainties about the future? If so, what are they? It made me think about the way that the internet is going to evolve. It seemed strange that even in a 'futuristic' show like Black Mirror, there were still things like twitter and cancel culture that existed. It makes me wonder about whether there might end up being serious consequences to 'cancelling' someone online in the future. I'm also even more uncertain about what the environment might look like now because I thought the episode would look way more futuristic and houses would be more automated but things are kind of still looking the same.

1. Which types of mentor texts did you engage with this week? Which one was the most interesting to you?

this week I engaged with the film manhunter written and directed by Michael Mann. I also engaged with the sequel to manhunter, "the silence of the lambs". I enjoyed both very much as they were an interesting depiction of serial killers and the detective work which is required to catch the offender.

2. How did this text challenge or expand your understanding of the future?

the films made me think about all of the detective work required to catch a criminal and all of the new technology which makes it easier to catch a criminal.

3. Did this text raise any questions, excitement, or uncertainties about the future? If so, what are they?

both films made me think about how many more serial killers are going to appear in the future and about all the future victims they could take. we will also have a better understanding of serial killers and why they do the things they do, also hopefully a solution to stop these future attacks

1. Which types of mentor texts did you engage with this week? Which one was the most interesting to you? - I listened to a podcast by Lex Fridmann about how AI technology can actually save people and help out society in the future.

2. How did this text challenge or expand your understanding of the future? - The podcast showed me how AI can actually be a useful tool if it is used correctly. we already have useful tools like chat GPT or any other AI art software's which we have now adapted into our everyday lives.

3. Did this text raise any questions, excitement, or uncertainties about the future? If so, what are they?

The podcast made me think more about the positives of AI instead of the negatives which most people talk about. it made me think that if we refine AI and constantly improve upon its technology then it can be one of our most useful assets.

1. Which types of mentor texts did you engage with this week? Which one was the most interesting to you?

this week I looked at speeches and screenplays, the speech I looked at was the speech the coach gives in any given Sunday and the screenplay I looked at was the rick and Morty pilot episode script.

2.How did this text challenge or expand your understanding of the future?

the speech in any given Sunday is neither about the future or the past. however certain parts of the speech can be applied to certain elements of the future. such as when the coach starts making comparisons from his life to American football. it shows how the speech can be applied to anyone and any experiences which may be in the future or in the past.

3.Did this text raise any questions, excitement, or uncertainties about the future? If so, what are they?

the speech made me think about what will happen in my future and how I will approach it.

- I remembered watching Nosedive which is also an episode of Black Mirror, and people there also have their lives change drastically - but in different ways - when people turn against them.
- 1984 by George Orwell has the theme of surveillance - maybe I can think of a way to join these two ideas together when I create something
