 Starting this project i was very excited because i felt the first mission went well and was very excited to do another one. just like with the first mission i read through all of the different topic options to find the one that drew me in the most. After reading them all i decided that i wanted to do The Internet Of Things. From choosing the topic i was then able to join a group.

I wasn't really sure what the internet of things was at first but when i read some of the information given on the cdm website i found it so interesting that i was ready to get going straight away. I met with my group to organize what direction we wanted to take the presentation. Similarly to the first mission we split the presentation into different research topics and gave a few to each of the people in the group so that we could continue working on the project separately, this was very important because we all live so far away from each other. One of the other group members suggested using google slides so we could all access and edit it without needing to be together.

we decided on our goals for this mission, we hoped to compile a list of Internet Of Things devices, how they are used and how they affect our daily life, the risks and safety issues with these devices and also to conduct a small experiment of our own in order to find out how many Internet Of Things devices the people we know own and use a pie chart to represent the data.

We started our research by looking at the links provided on the cdm website and the suggested tasks given. We decided however that we would prefer to do research of our own as to not repeat too much of the same information as other groups who would be doing the same topic and using the same links provided.

I was given the task of collecting the data of our survey on how many IoT devices people have in their homes. we decided not to use any survey apps or websites as we felt this would be easier and quicker to actually get responses. I did this by asking a random selection of people how many IoT devices they have in their home and to specify what exactly those devices are. This information would then later be brought to the group and made into a pie chart. When the data was collected we did actually make multiple visual representations of it (for example: bar chart, histogram, graph etc.) but in the end the group felt that the pie chart was the best representation of our results and was the most aesthetically pleasing to us.

We met up again in the library just before the presentation to get one last practice in and to make sure we were all familiar and comfortable with our pieces. I felt a bit more confident going into this presentation than i did in the first but i was still very nervous.

Thanks for reading :)

Mission 2 Internet Of Things{reflection}

Mission 2 Culture Reflection Personally i believe this project was a success. We achieved our goals which we had set out in the beginning, we created a power point presentation, we conducted a survey and compiled our resulted into a visual representation, we made a list of IoT devices and represented this on an infographic, we learned about the evolution of IoT along with its safety issues and we also took a look at where IoT will continue to grow and develop over the coming years. We were not able to meet up as a whole group as much s we would have liked due to us all living so far away from each other however this problem was made a little bit easier when one of my team mates introduced the idea of using google slides to make the presentation. This meant that we were all able to edit and look at the slides separately and allowed for us not being able to meet as often. One of the group members thankfully was more experienced in using spreadsheets and creating different cha

Mission 2 Internet Of Things {Product}

Mission 2 Culture Product The product of this mission was mainly the power point presentation itself because although we did our own survey we did have to represent the data we collected in the power point. The power point began with a list of Internet Of Things devices which we compiled and then laid it out in a more aesthetically pleasing format. We made sure to include both everyday household devices and also more industrial devices to really show the range of IoT devices that are available. We did this by searching for a template that we liked and then inserting the names of IoT devices we found, each with a small image because we wanted to give visual aids as to keep it interesting. I conducted a survey to find out how many IoT devices people have in their homes and what those devices are. Originally we thought asking people individually would get us quicker responses and be easier, we later realized it would have been more efficient to use a survey making website for this

Mission 3 Image Visualization{reflection}

Mission 3 Methodology Reflection I believe this mission was a success. We were able to hit all of the goals that had set for ourselves and everything in the mission brief. I really enjoyed this mission because it was so different to the others we have done previously. I loved getting the opportunity to develop my editing skills (which are still not great but have improved) and this has genuinely given me a new interest in editing. Its now something that i would consider messing around with in my spare time just to see what im capable of and how much i can improve. If I was to do this project again i would have liked to maybe get some real life clips recorded and put into the video just to break up all of the screenshots and screen recording and just bring some life back into the video. I think this would have not only been more interesting to the viewers but also would have given us more opportunity to actually get to play around with premiere pro and be more creative in cre
