To me the word “virtual” is a difficult one to go into large amounts of detail in, or brain storm ideas for. Since the beginning of my course, the “virtual” theme group has always been the tutorial in which digital media is used to portray one’s design. Thinking about “virtual” ideas and thinking outside of the box is something I found very difficult, that is, until sci-fi movies came into the conversation. The ideas started rolling quite freely after this.
If every person on earth was implanted with a chip when born, they could be easily located if they go missing, or run from the law, or if a disaster strikes and they are in a plane crash, or in a natural disaster etc. While this would be controversial, it would solve many of mankind’s problems???
