Engineering: In class we read a pamphlet filled with predictions about the future. The most surprising prediction I read was one that said our lifespan gains 3 months every year. "Our lifespan 4 years ago, the lifespan was 79 years, now it is 80 years" (Gollub). With each year, the increase is increasing - meaning in a short matter of time people will be living long past 100 years old. That's just crazy to me that everyone will naturally be living so long. Will we ever reach immortality then?
The job fair/interview was pretty authentic in the sense that there were many levels people had to go through in order to get the job. The interviews were really casual which made them less realistic, and they occurred the day after people signed up at the job fair. To make it more authentic, I would suggest we hold the job fair at least a week before the interviews take place, and that the interviews are held in separate rooms (it was a bit noisy and unrealistic having all of the producers in the same room). I learned that I can manage a hiring process! I ran a booth at the job fair and lead 12 interviews which was a new experience for me. English: Advertising is a large reflection of our society. Not only does it target young children, but it also pits companies against each other and manipulates people into buying products. I definitely believe advertising casts a negative reflection on our society, but because basically every other country does it too, it's typically overlooked. I think there should be restrictions on advertising to children. Kids can't tell the difference between advertisements and television programming, so they are easily manipulated. I think advertising to children fosters bad behavior in kids; a child will see an advertisement for a toy on television and will most likely throw a temper tantrum to get the toy. I think there should be restrictions on television and internet advertisements to children - less advertisements and age appropriate ones. It's not appropriate for beer companies to put ads on typical child television networks or internet sites.
