Enjoy the Think Ahead Virtual Tour and Images.
Think Ahead is an exhibition about advances in science and technology across ten themes - communication; medicine and health; music and sound; food; natural systems; transport; space; cities; daily life; and money. With more than 200 museum objects from the past, the present and the speculative future, Think Ahead blends innovative technology with hands-on experiences to inspire you to research, think creatively and share your ideas.
Ask yourself the following questions before you watch the video.
What will our future be like?

Hi Mrs Rolton,
ReplyDeleteMy answers to the questions are:
-Our future will be full of technology and it will be very modernised. -Our cities will have lots of buildings and houses and the transportation methods that you see will be very different because they will be modernised, improved and will have new technology. -New materials will change our houses, clothes and cities by improving them, modernising them and will make them more versatile and stronger -I think we will eat the same food but prepare it in different ways. -I think that we will use the space around Earth to experiment and to travel.
1. The problems I think that these forward-thinking futurists were trying to solve were how we envision our future, ideas for the future and what the future will be like. 2. I think that the problems that have been solved today are how we envision our future and our ideas for the future. 3.The differences between the real solution and the imagined one is that the imagined one will sound crazy a and non-real but the real solution will sound similar and amazing. 4.Five things we do to solve problems; -Think logically. - Create solutions. -Work it out. -Think it through.
Can't wait to see you!!!

Hi Mrs Rolton,
ReplyDeleteMy answers for the questions are
Our future will have a lot of technology and every day we will have new updates-our towns and cities will be much more advanced with new ways to travel and tall buildings everywhere-the new materials wil make a big difference on how our houses look and clothes will feel different against your skin-I think that our food will be served the same but on different portions and prepared differently-I think that we will use the space around earth to create more room for traveling.
The problems that I think the forward thinking futurists were trying to solve is what our future will turn out to be like.
The problems that have been solved today are how we imagine our future and our ideas for our future,
The difference between a real solution and a non real solution are that the non real one will always turn out how you want it to be and the real on won't.
5 things we can do to solve problems are be creative,ask for help,think through the problem carefully,talk about it and think of solutions.
