Journal Entry Four

For this project, we had to create a slideshow presentation using Google Slides on a video we used for a previous assignment. The video had to be of a recent technological advancement that we found interesting, and we had to incorporate the main idea and key points of the video into our slideshow.

The video I chose was about a new invention called the "Soft Exosuit" that was created by scientists Harvard Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. It's purpose is to increase the wearer's strength and endurance, and to protect them from injury and physical stress while doing so. Many exoskeletons have been invented in the past, but Harvard's version is more lightweight, comfortable, and has easier mobility than any before it. 

I chose this video because it's really interesting that this invention has the ability to help people with spinal-cord injuries recover and even walk. I think this invention is going to be a major advancement in health benefiting technology and hopefully the Soft Exosuit will be used to help people with physical disability's a lot more in the future. 

Using Google Slides was pretty straight-forward and it took no time to create a slideshow. I really enjoyed using this program because it's easy to share the slideshow and embed it onto Blogger. Creating a slideshow this way was more effective and easy in my opinion, and work got done a lot faster. 

For the most part, this project was fun because we got to look into new technology that we found interesting and it was a lot more enjoyable because we got to choose what our presentation was on. I hope that we get more chances to use this program rather than another to make a presentation because it was a lot easier to use and work with.
