Session 12

Time flies and here we are, on the 12^th week of the school term. These 2 weeks are basically the presentation weeks for our web reports and then off we go to prepare for exams. This week’s session we have 4 groups presenting on the different topics, which consist of the Eco-technology, photography, food technology, Technology and E-commerce all of which are relatively interesting. However, I would only touch on 2 of the ones which I think is the most interesting, which are the Food technology in the future and E-Commerce.

Food is essential for survival for people and will be an issue in the future where people will be vying for food. Hence, I think this topic would be very relevant to us in the future regarding food security. I think they did a very good job in researching for the different methods and technology of food in the future. However, I thought we are not supposed to present on the topics that we chosen on our individual presentation or individual review paper? But why does it seems like they are just using the information that they retrieved were from their own individual presentation. But nonetheless, they have done a good job in the web report which is very nice and very appealing to people.

For E-commerce, I think this is what businesses and corporations will all be very concerned about. As there are more and more methods and mediums for payment to be made and received, people would be able to make payments more conveniently. One of the possibilities being mentioned was the commercialization of products and services through the internet. In the future, people would not need to go out to source for products, but rather just stay at home and purchase items through the internet, and also paying through the system. Hence, it would be very convenient and speeds up the whole process of buying and selling, especially for perishable goods.

The rating I would give this week would be 9/10 as there were very good presentations, but probably more things could be discussed during the rest of the time during the class.
