1. What part of your finished project did you find most successful and why?
I found that the band part of my resizing band was the most successful because the texture over the colour makes the band look very realistic. I think that this texture makes the band to look very realistic because it looks like a cloth or fabric texture which is what the band would be covered with if it was created.
2. What part of your finished project did you find least successful and why?
I found that the buttons and the screen area least successful because I was unable to properly flatten the screen without ruining the underside of the band. If I would have been able to flatten it I think that this part would have turned out much better and would have made my invention look much more realistic.
3. Why do you think this would be a great invention for the future?
My invention would be great for the future because in the future we will have the technology available to create a Resizing Band. This invention will be useful for all people because no one likes carrying heavy or large objects, so by using the resizing band people will be able to shrink the object carry or move it, and when it is put in it’s proper place resize it again to the desired size. A good example for where this would be used is students carrying their books back and forth to school. Students could shrink their books to reduce the weight of their backpack and resize them to proper size once at home and school to complete work. Having this invention would not only help for carrying and moving objects but also with any back problems caused by carrying objects improperly.
Step One:
1)Give reasons for why you think Da Vinci invented the inventions on the reverse of this sheet.
I think that Da Vinci invented the things he did because he thought that they would be useful for doing things in a simpler or safer way. Almost all of Da Vinci's inventions involve the idea of flight which makes me think that this was something that fascinated Da Vinci. It seems to me that his inventions were all to make like easier for him and the people of his time. With the invention of the armoured vehicle it could be that he was worried about safety, and wanted to have something so people could be protected.
2) Choose one of Da Vinci’s inventions, and explain why you think it has had the biggest impact on modern society.
I think that Da Vinci's invention of the flying machine, known to us as a plane, has had the most impact on today's society. By looking at today's society it is easy to see that from the invention of the flying machine we are now able to do many things faster and more efficient than before. Travel for instance can take only a few hours to go somewhere that could have taken days possibly even weeks without being able to fly. Shipping and sending packages is another everyday thing that has been greatly affected by the invention of the flying machine, since we are now able to send packages across the world in a matter of days, something that would have taken months without.
STEP TWO:
1) Resizing Band: Something you would wear on your wrist like a watch, that is able to size things so they are more convenient to be carried around or stored.
2) Dream Projector: An earpiece that you have in while you sleep, and when you wake up connect to your computer and it will show you your dreams.
3) Infinite Nail Polish: Nail polish that only comes off when you take it off.Make up a list of 3 inventions that would enrich our lives.
