Wow! On Friday we had our first guest speaker of the year and what a great way to start! Mr Cristian Mujica came and presented an interactive discussion on Telecommunications and the history of mobile phones. We learned about the development of 1G, 2G, and 3G networks as well as some important points about telecommunications and how we use them. He showed examples such as downloading music, playing games, medical information for doctors, and accessing the internet. He reminded us of some important issues especially our responsibility in using telecommunications and transportation and how we should insist that people use hands-free sets while driving and talking.
Along with the history, he also showed some new developments for telecommunications in the future. He showed a product called Gorrilla Glass and wowed us when he banged it on the wall and the floor and it didn't crack or scratch the glass! He also showed us a new type of phone that could be put completely into water and still work! Our favorite part of the talk was when he showed us a glimpse into our close future using phones with NFC or Near Field Communication abilities. Take a look at the video he showed us:
Wow! Amazing ideas, no?! We loved the presentation and are looking forwar to many more discussions to help us think about all the areas we could investigate for our exhibition projects!
What was your favorite part of this guest speaker discussion? What was the most important point that you learned? What did you learn about your responsibility in using mobile phones and technology?
Looking forward to hearing what you think!
Miss Jessica :)
