class discussion-
DIY futures of wireless worlds and develop a personal
Scenarios in the mobile world in 2015

Form of brainstorming activities

1. Organize a 2-person team

2. Each team work on the defining dimensions sheets handed out in class and go through the 14 dimensions.
In case both of you in a team cannot reach a common ground on any of the dimensions, just average your opinions with equal weights on the disagreed dimensions.

3. Based on your team judgements on each of the dimensions, profile a personal life in a day of the mobile world in 2015. This John or Mary in your story could be you, your family, or a total stranger as you wish.

4. Oral presentation and defense: One member of the team plays the role of analyst and presents orally the opinions in each dimension. The other plays the role of creator and presents the scenario of the imaginary personal story of life in 2015.

If you ask the right questions, you will come up with the answers you really want.

The difficulty does not lie in thinking out the great answers but in coming up with the good questions.

Analyzing is great but works best with creations.
