4th Grade Conversations

Wouldn’t it cool if we could all read minds, but only when we chose to? We could focus on whom we wanted to hear and then we would. This way we would go crazy hearing everything all the time or hear things we didn’t care to hear. You’re probably thinking that this is a really bad idea, because what if you hear gossip about yourself or accidentally hear something you thought you wanted to hear. Yeah, that sucks, but see you could still chose to do it or not. If you never wanted to do it then you just never would. Simple as that.

I decided to sit in a fourth-grade classroom and listen to their conversations during recess time. It was interesting trying to focus on someone’s voice and accurately hear what they were saying. For all I know I interpreted them all wrong!




What if you could buy headphones that very accurately deciphered a conversation from across the room? They would work by Bluetooth technology and you would just push a button on your phone and be able to hear a conversation. Now in order to decipher the correct conversation, the application would need some quick information. For instance, a compass would be included and the application would ask for the direction in which the conversation is and then it would ask for an estimate on how far away. Once the information is entered you would be able to hear the conversation most accurate to the information given, if it is incorrect, recalibrate and do it again. Yeah it sounds like too much work, but it’s a work in progress and only an idea.

The Letter

The Letter, an adventure story based on the inevitability of death. Death can happen in a number of ways, but you can't escape its clutches. It will only be more peaceful if it's accepted and the character sees that chance. The character understands the inevitable and somehow finds peace in the same way every time. The Letter grips the unfamiliar truth about dying in unexpected, tragic ways to only end the same way.  Choose your own path on how that happens.

Googling My Problems

Doesn't everyone hit up Google when they have a specific problem and need answers? Yeah, me too. I always head to the page to check EVERYTHING that goes on in my life. I compare what I am feeling and experiencing to what others' have experienced to see a possible outcome. We all want answers, but Google isn't always the best place to go for the solution to an issue.

I decided to Google a problem that I am always having to see what results would pop up and I wasn't too disappointed. I searched for an answer to "tiredness" and received a number of credible sources. Google didn't let me down this time.

But what if there was an easier way to do all of that? What if there was a way to search for whatever you're feeling as accurately as possible to receive an actual plausible answer? I think it would be beneficial to create a search scanner that could very accurately depict what you want and need to be answered with real outcomes. The search scanner would be a program within some electronic device that would scan your figure and take that information from your brain, demeanor, and biological levels. You wouldn't even have to say or think out the best way to ask, the scanner would already know and would send you a list of sources that can be trusted and a better way to figure out the answer you need.

It would just be really cool, wouldn't it?
