Tech Task #8

Sorry, i have been a little behind on my tech tasks. For this task we were told to come to class and be prepared to talk about a TED talk that we had watched recently. We were seperated into small groups and we each talked for a few minutes about what our video was about. I watched a video call Robert Lang's TED talk on Origami.
It discusses the concept that with any idea and a square piece of paper, you can make a beautiful origami. This is done by using math and engineering techniques to create really cool designs.

As our groups talked, i became intrigued with Robbie's video, Jill Bolte Taylor: My strike of insight.
I found it very interesting that a scientist could experience something they new so much about. She was able to experience and watch her functions decrease, and yet able to understand how and why it was occuring. I think this is a great story to be heard, and that everyone should definitly watch this video. Thanks Robbie!
