This week, I worked more on the PowerPoint for the presentation. At this point, I know what I will be talking about and I know how to present it. However, I feel that there are many holes in my presentation. There will be missing information, or information that I won't be able to present as well as I would like. For this reason, I want to spend more time trying to find more details on the information I will share with the class so I can be better informed about the subject. An example of this problem is HOW the gap between the developed and developing countries will change. I can say that technology that allows more efficient work, better communication, and cleaner environment will help the gap close, but I have no examples or details. I hope to look up articles from Galileo and Google Scholar to find what I am looking for from good sources. I am also practicing what I am saying. If I don't present my project well, it could sound like I came up with it in one day. I will be doing research and working on my presentation skills until the day I speak (next Friday).

The Actual Presentation

So it has been a while since I last posted, and I apologize. However, I have not been idle in this long period of time. I have started the presentation and thought about specifically what to talk about next Friday. Through this, I have realized something; it will be really hard to put my research in a particular order. I want to talk about the future of the world environment, economy, and technology in developed and developing countries. The problem is many facts and findings overlap. I am having a hard time deciding when to talk about what. So far, I know that I will start by introducing the topic, the specific subtopics, and then show how and where it did my research. The future is a hard thing to predict, and I want to establish my ethos in the beginning. In reality, I actually did spend a lot of time trying to find more trustworthy articles that actually explained the reason for why certain changes would take place. There were many journalists I found, and it was interesting that they had different views and opinions on important matters. This would normally hurt my final conclusion, but it actually is beneficial because I can now analyze all opinions and the given facts to make my own conclusion instead of stealing someone else's work.
