Crafting table


When I opened the packet last week and saw the idea of vertical farming, the first thing I thought of was minecraft. I’ve always thought of vertical farming as a great asset due to its vast applicability throughout the game. With vertical farms you always were provided so many benefits. I remember as a kid searching up youtube tutorials on how to make the highest efficiency and least amount of work for me. This concept of vertically built things was constantly implemented throughout the game for many purposes, and there were some clear parallels between the sources we read and the game. 

In the game this was the way to maximize efficiency, and reduce transportation just like the real game, but it doesn’t reflect the major implications that come with it. Yet, ideas that can come from such games like minecraft can be the spark of innovation for such a complex concept that can push the future forward. Yes, while things like vertical farming do have their problems, but it is undeniable the potential they hold for the future is immeasurable and potentially vital for human survival.

A simple videogame can often hold a lot of hate from adults, stating that their brains are rotting while they are playing. In some cases this is true. But in other cases, ideas from videogames can push the boundaries of innovation. Small ideas from a simple game such as minecraft can be nourished throughout life and potentially become the next great innovation. And even if no such revolutionary idea is built, the seeds of creative thinking are planted, which will ultimately grow into the next great innovation.

    I like how you connected the idea of vertical farming to minecraft. Minecraft is a game where we use our imaginations to make wild creations (such as vertical farms), and I think its pretty cool that these wild ideas are being implemented in real life as well.

    When I first read the packet last week, I also immediately thought about vertical farms in minecraft. I really liked how you used minecraft as an analogy for how simple things like video games can push the boundaries of innovation.

    I like your idea but I would say that comparisons between minecraft vertical farming and regular vertical farming is a bit extreme. If only someone told you that before you wrote it...

    This is a really interesting blog. It’s a new perspective of how vertical farms are made, with crazy inventions like a video game as Minecraft.

  After Gatsby’s funeral, I stayed back to get things in accord for him. Made sure all of his loose ends were tied up, tidied up the house, and was ready to pay my last respects to him. Just as I was leaving his new butler, Mayor Wolfsheim’s worker, handed me a letter saying to Nick Carraway and instantly I knew who it was from. In his fancy signature was addressed Jay Gatsby. Curious as to what surprised he had left even after he was gone, I opened it:  Hello Old Sport, if you are reading this now then it is like I predicted that I am no longer living. It’s weighed on me for so long, but I haven’t been honest with you or anyone in fact about who I truly am. It’s time you find out. While my past that I told you was true, what I have been working towards in my life is very different from what you perceive.  I presume you are standing on my dock right now looking out at the green light. Now look a little to the right of it and you’ll see a simple, humble house situated righ...

What is Gatsby even about?

Image
  The past week while we’ve been reading Gatsby , everything always felt so deep and complicated. While I was reading at home, I’d often have to reread some parts and check over things on the internet just to make sure I interpreted a detail the right way. After all that, I’d still get a 2 out of 4 on the Gatsby quiz because I forgot something. In class, we brought up the idea of how Fitzgerald’s purpose for writing The Great Gatsby was to critique the “American Dream” and bring up how people behaved back then, but once we put this into a skit form, it felt so surreal. By converting everything into modern-day slang, adding our own slight personal touches, and acting it out, The Great Gatsby went from being the most sophisticated thing to comedic and almost a little dumb. For example, no way some guy worked insanely hard to get super rich, buy a house across the river from her to stalk her, and throw lavish parties that cost loads of money, just for a girl he met five years ago t...

What's your LinkedIn????

Image
  A little while ago I was at a MUN conference when someone randomly came up to me. He started making small talk, but I could instantly feel the fake energy radiating off of him. Obviously, I had to match it,  as one of the biggest aspects of Model UN deals with having to suppress your real personality and appear friendly and connected to everyone. This fake conversation, which I thought would end normally, had an ending that was a first for me. He pulled out his phone, and I expected maybe what's your Instagram or let's make a group chat with people from the committee . Instead, he opened up the LinkedIn app, stuck his phone at me, and asked me to type in my LinkedIn. I couldn't help but break character and make a face when he asked. Regardless, he persisted, so I had to. My facial reaction From there, I watched him gallivant around to the rest of the committee and repeat the same process, collecting each person's LinkedIn like Pokémon. As Pinker states, language has ...
