    This text type of the speech give by greta did raise some questions for me as I was wondering how serious is this through out the speech. I was left questioning the ways in which i go about my life as i was unsure of how long we truely have left.

  4. What form conventions did I learn about this week?

    The tone in which greta delivered the speech really did stand out to me as she spoke clearly and was continues with the seriousness of the way in which she spoke.

    The volume in which she delivered the speech stood out as she brought it up and down as needed and he yelled at some point at the parts in which she needed to in order to get her point across with conviction.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    I listen to podcasts myself and the idea of being a like to discuss my opinions and thoughts on a future based issue or idea as a assessment seem like the right move. I want to be able to have a good structure to my podcast. having a engaging sizzle to make my podcast unique. I am thinking of doing around advancements vehicles with technology and auto pilot mode and all around impacts of the electric car market. Or discussing how movies and TV shows from the past have made predictions and how they have played out. Doing this in a relaxed conversation style between the co hosts.

    I have chosen to do a short story as i really did not know what to do. However, I think this will be the best options as I can let my creativity flow and see what happens. As the future is is broad but I am thinking future video games. Like if you take a pill that fulling transports you into the future game so it its realistic but a main character gets stuck in there.

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

      This week we looked over 2 short stories I enjoyed the second option week looked at which was called "Wish you Were" by Claire G. Coleman

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

      This short story spoke form the second person which is something I have not read from. I challenged me with the idea of the future as what if all of our thoughts or online presences could be downloaded and kept as a digital version of us so you would never truly dead.

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

      This text did in fact concerns me as it had me worried as i wouldn't want a world in which you can virtually never die as that takes away the urgency and importance of your life.

    4. What form conventions did I learn about this week?

      The theme in this weeks text would be one of technology enhancing and getting the better of people as we saw it evolve to go against a human

      Setting was in a future time in which all social and online interaction could be kept so your life can stay alive in a digital way.

      The climax of this text piece is when the human finds out that he is basically in a computer and is being held there against your will.
