You. Yes, you. Fearless citizen of the 21st century. How aware are you of new technology? What is the next BIG THING?
Your mission is to research an emerging
technology and create a PowerPoint that is suitable for presentation. What
is an emerging technology, you ask? It is something, on the cutting
edge and has real potential to change our lives. Oh, the choices abound. These
are just some examples. For

Once you have chosen a topic, create a PowerPoint that summarizes your view of the future. Your presentation should include the following:
-at least seven slides (not including
the print-screen slide or a THE END slide)
-multiple images from the web with credit to the source below each photo.
-a list of websites used in your research. List the name and web address of
the site that you used.
-past attempts at the technology that failed
-why do we need this new or improved technology?
-who is working on the technology now?
-pro and con list for your chosen technology. Why is it a good idea? Why
do you think it won't work or we don't need it.
-a summary IN YOUR OWN words that tells us about the new technology you are
highlighting. Do not copy and paste.
-your prediction as to the possible success of this new technology.
-slide transitions for every slide.
-custom animation on every slide.
Save your PowerPoint on your I drive as yourusernametech.ppt (example: milsteadtech.ppt).
