+ | |||
+ | Final Reflections | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Alex: I liked the continuity, and to think differently. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Megan: One of my three words for my expectations was “craft.” Wow, we made so much in these two days! Also, I’m a visual learner, so seeing what we did in front of me was great. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Angel: We created worlds with seemingly impossible technology, but I thought, “What if it is possible? | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Stacey: I am overwhelmed at how much you got for your final projects. And there was an unexpected thing – team building: an amazing byproduct. I also had the opportunity to talk to more of you individually, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Maja: I thought a few days ago that we must postpone | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Karla: My three words at the start were, “learn, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Devin: I had no idea what to expect, but it helped me to see that there are many different steps in the visualizing process. I see now how I can apply visualizing to everything else. My sociology major is more clear to me now, too. I tend to forget that “visualizing the invisible” is our reason for being here; now I can do more than look at pretty things here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Nate: The opportunity to think realistically about possible futures, and our own lives, to see “the world” as something other than just what happens to you, by making it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Hillery: I really enjoyed it. We created absurd situations, but I never had to suspend my disbelief, because I was there the whole time. It felt like potential futures that I didn’t expect. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Alyssa: I was pleasantly surprised because the reading we did was “interesting, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Rachel: It affected the way we think about the world, finding what we think is most important, especially change drivers. We got all the steps toward visualizing the future-- how we get there –-even if we don’t want them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Adam: I’m excited about the projects and our program, excited to have you experience this and to do it with you. I’m energized! I’m also intellectually interested in how divergent worlds have so many connections, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Tiffany: This is my first time for thinking of the future. How to have a fresh start is exciting, but crazy. I’m an emotional person, and I appreciate co-creation. I have trouble presenting my ideas, perhaps because of language, perhaps because of shyness, but here I had your help. I want to say thank you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Rara: I enjoyed sharing and listening to each other, to hear others’ ideas. We were focused on different aspects, but they all came together. Also our learning process on openness is interesting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Hannah: I was fascinated to see the connections between the worlds we created and our world now; to see how they could lead to such extremes, and also how scary that is. It makes me want to think more about how I use technology now – especially because my world, Franco – that is freaky! Now I want to talk more about how I interact with technology. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Nik: It was interesting to see where the worlds end up from the blank page to what we have here. It feels like we only scratched the surface, but there are many more surfaces, always more to pick out from it. I was pleasantly surprised how differently the groups worked, but with the same materials. There are many different approaches here; it’s a great way to strengthen individual practice. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Cindy: I thought it was interesting how different the worlds were, but also who chose which world to be in. I liked my world, but I couldn’t figure out how to live there! It taught me that maybe you should stay in your world and bridge the problems. It’s good to know you don’t have to bail. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Saloni: It was intellectually stimulating to me. I don’t think too abstractly, and it was hard to think of things beneath the surface, but we did a lot of that. It was interesting to see how even in the same world our ideas were totally different: same world, but different worldview. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Kate: Walking through step-by-step felt like a totally natural progression. The ideas got crazier and crazier, but I felt like it could be real. I appreciated how much everyone wants to work together. We all got into it and it was positive. I’m happy to be here with you guys. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Katie: I was pleasantly surprised how looking at the future in terms of only five years, and following the specific guidelines helped me to see my own vision of my future, which was really hard before – the entire time I’ve been in college. It seemed natural, not forced, it just came out. New possibilities. Even though you take seemingly disparate things – like “radically open” and “radically homogenous” – when you put them together, you realize that there are different ways of being homogenous. It gave me new perspective, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Lars: I am a big fan of the future and I like these discussions. My three words were sonerd, “learn, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Jon: When I heard you had a degree in forecasting, | ||

+ | |||
+ | Discussion on July 15, 2014. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Aim of the discussion: move from the particular experience of creating scenarios to reflect on how that could be generalized and then applied in other contexts. | ||
Meditate on how our scenarios were not “mere” fiction, but rather, were speculative, | Meditate on how our scenarios were not “mere” fiction, but rather, were speculative, | ||
