3D Printing: Print me out the Moon

3D Printing: Print me out the Moon:

Have you ever been envious of a friend’s Rolex watch? You might be able to print your own in the future. 3D printing technology, in a twist on the ancient technique of alchemy (making your own gold from lead), could help this dream come true. We can now make goods out of steel, plastic, porcelain, glass, and even ooey-gooey chocolate, and as the cost of consumer-oriented printers falls, more people will have access to a wider selection of products.

This isn’t just true for toys and clothing. Foodini by Natural Machines is now being utilized to assist in the preparation of delicate haute cuisine dishes. Food printers that cook as well as print your food are on the horizon. There is immense satisfaction to be received from planning and building, as evidenced by the popularity of Minecraft (recall ‘Battlestar Galactica,’ ‘Babylon,’ Lord of the Rings ‘Minas Tirith,’ and Game of Thrones metropolis ‘King’s Landing’ created out of textured blocks). What would we change in the world if we were given our own world-building blocks (in the form of 3D printers)?

Our options, on the other hand, are certainly not dwindling as technological advancements continue. Scientists are working on printing organs for transplantation, which might save a lot of lives. It’s as if Bella Swan was given vampire powers and suddenly became capable of so much more. We are on the verge of the “third industrial revolution,” which will rise like a wave of colors, bringing with it a plethora of possibilities and transformations. I hope you’ve brought your surfboard with you.

Empathy in Online Education: Digitizing It

A Look at the Future of Home-Based Education As the physical world becomes increasingly engulfed in this never-ending pandemic, the majority of Singaporean households have begun to migrate even further into the digital realm, where the infected COVID-19 cannot infiltrate. This fluid and imagined online places have brought a great deal of comfort and protection, allowing people to speak freely without being masked or separated from others. Humans are essentially emotional beings who need socializing from other humans as well as recognition and acceptance from one another. In the year 2020, home-based learning (HBL) has become a buzzword in education. It has opened up new avenues for flexible learning, with a plethora of resources and collaborative work opportunities available both locally and globally. While we consider the future of HBL for our children, we must keep in mind that not every child is born and raised in the same circumstances; the challenges faced by one student may be vastly different from those faced by another. As a result, a standardized teaching technique may no longer be as relevant as it once was; instead, the community must thoroughly research, comprehend, and encourage each student along his or her own individual learning path. Such idealistic ideals are attainable if the first step is to offer each student, as well as the student’s family, enough assistance, whether in the form of equipment, skills, time, or money. Once such a foundation has been built, anxiety and feelings of inadequacy will be reduced, allowing for the development of a type of “mental compassion” and understanding of each other’s situation.
