Sharing expriences with other KCTs



After the outing session I met a friend from another KCT and through discussing with her about their prototypes and our prototypes and so on, I came up with two new ideas for our thematic field.

1- Comparing the Earth with two other planets that would offer living to human beings:
Imagine it is 2200 and the earth is about to explode and running out of any natural resources and human being life is threaten. There are some competitors to the earth, like other planets, that would offer some kind of possibility of living. Imagine what kind of life styles they can offer and then make a "business plan" or some kind of "scenario planning" for our company and compare it with these two other planets. Two planets that I thought we can consider could be "Saturn" and "Mars". As the Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system and Mars’ rotational period and seasonal cycles are likewise similar to those of Earth.
And I thought as a prototype, we would present it in the format of a collage or advertisement posters.
I also started searching around for some pictures and I found a structure for the business plan.

2- What would the Earth itself do to get rid of us, as human beings?
(Considering the fact that humans are destroying the Earth).
I was thinking about something like that the earth would fine or punish us as human beings, when we do not care about our environment. Try to make a brainstorming on the factors that earth could do in order to decrease the population of the human beings gradually until it could get rid of us completely. For example through earthquakes, volcanoes, water explosions, sonami, ozone layer decreases, producing unhealthy ashes and so on. So the prototype could be a collage again, considering the brainstorming objects.
Well, I kind of liked the second idea, although it was not really related to what we have done up to now. So, I gonna discuss these ideas with my group and would make a new post regarding the feedbacks that I would get.
