Rob's Speech

Alright...so I attended the speech that Rob gave this afternoon. I was expecting refreshments, but those weren't there, so I decided to focus on the speech instead. It was a good one! He only appeared nervous before he started speaking, but once he began, you could tell that it was a subject that he was passionate about and interested in. The speech began with introducing what "arkay" was and how it came to be. Overall, it was his dissertation from school, and it was a combination of theology, philosophy, and media. Rob talked about the school that he attended in the Swiss Alps, which was really interesting to hear. The student to teacher ratio was about 14:1, and his favorite teacher was Giorgio Agamben. 
After the introduction, Rob went on to talk about the movement of media, and how it is progressing. Quite honestly, he lost me for a bit when he was talking about the pictures with all of the wonky lines...no idea what was going on there. Refreshments arrived at 4:10, but I did not get up to get any because I didn't want to be "that girl". The scientific aspect that I found the most interesting was actually the condom research. Bill Gates has an idea going to make condoms from this new carbon based "wonder material". The condoms made will be cheaper and more effective so that global usage becomes more world wide and more frequently. 
From that point on- Rob went into the concept of "printing" people and other 4-D aspects of our reality life. I have come to the conclusion that I don't care if it is printed or not, I would definitely eat that pizza. No doubts about it!

A Few Notes...
-The guy sitting in front of me was thoroughly annoying me. He wouldn't sit still and kept turning around...I was slightly distracted by him.
-Now that I think about it, I should have grabbed some cheese cubes for the way home.
-I was stuck in traffic for an hour trying to get home to Superior. I think I should get some extra credit for that or something...
