In Class Exercise A

Hello!

The first post of this blog and I expect many more posts to flood this blog. In fact, the number of posts here (in the future) may very well exceed the number of posts I had for my own personal blog (which I started a few years back). That pretty much tells you how diligent I have been on blogging. >.<

So yes, back to the main topic. My very first assignment given on the first lecture of a brand new year! We were asked to design a machine/device that will enhance our creativity by 100 times. I have to admit that I am someone with almost zero creativity, so the device/machine definitely has to be something that will provide me with some inspiration. Thus, I came up with this:


Yes, you got that right. I named it the "Friendly Rubbish Separator" (Did I mention that I am boring too? Hahaha). Well, I came up with this idea because not too long ago, I went to Taiwan and the Taiwanese are quite particular about recycling. Hence, I wanted to come up with a machine that is closely related to recycling and that's how Mr. Friendly Rubbish Separator was born (Let's call it FRS, the name is so long that it became such a chore to type it over and over again).

Basically Mr. FRS here is a walking/eating/talking robot. He walks around grabbing objects off the ground with his two little hands, puts the object to the eye and scans for its chemical and colour composition. After which, the data is transmitted to his central system and he then proceeds to eat the object. After the object enters the body, all recyclable compositions go into the relevant compartments. The non-recyclable compositions will then be sorted into different colour groups. If creativity advice is needed from Mr. FRS, simply click on a button at the back of Mr. FRS and he will offer ideas based on the colour compositions that he has. That's not all, if verbal tips are not enough, Mr. FRS's eyes are able to project images on surfaces, giving visual tips as well! Furthermore, those coloured materials sorted earlier can also be used for art work!

Yup so that's the idea I got for the creativity machine. Super unrealistic but hey, as the blog address suggests, I am a day dreamer. =))
