Emergent Strategy
Question I: In your view, what is a function of humans in the universe?
I think function of human is create, product and contempt, we create tools, we found out whatever we could use for our own benefits. we create civilizations, make sure we could probably do generation to generation. we product a lot tools, or other creature to meet our all kinds of needs. we also contempt all kind of element we possible could use. That why I will say for human humans in the universe is create, product, and contempt.
Question II: Do artists, designers, and technology have that same or similar responsibility? What are the nuances between those roles?
In my opinion those three roles are similar, however based on their function somehow they are very different.
the same or similar responsibility is they all create things, but for each job description, each of them have some different. In my mind the artist has the pure mind, they just need to emotional, and intense to feel the whole world, and directly translate the further words into the language that we used to know. Artist always have future vision to look at everything. The technology is another pure role in those three roles. technology just need to focus on how to make design into a real thing and also functional. The last I want to talk about is the most hard role out of those three. It is designer, it is a bridge from artist to technology. designer need to balance the artist elements, and buyer’s needs, also make sure the idea can possible happen in technology.
Interview Topic One
I interviewed one of my high school classmates who is working in the airport as a “bird killer”. He is working in this position since the airport was established. When I wanna start my interview post he is the first person who pops into my mind.
Based on your experience How many will be killed by you per day?
Come on! I am not a real killer, ok? I don’t kill birds.Kill birds cannot make air-plane safe. we currently using different technology now.
So, what is the standard that can make sure air-plane can get safe departure or landing process.
Based on Chinese air regulations. have to make sure, (airport as the center) make sure within radium 3 km have no birds. when air plane take off about 100 meter height, when air plane during landing about 60 meter height from the ground is the most dangerous situation to get birds accidents.
What are the main strategies we are using right now?
Currently Biological control technology is the main method, any others like sound, or visual methods just always stand by as plan B for us. but now people and goverment considering harms birds and environment system, so
Why can’t have birds around airport?
Because of the safety. every year there is over 10,000 cases air accident in the planet, about 20% are made by birds. Ok! like make a quick demonstration for you, if unfortunately the plane and the bird hit up when them flying on their regular routes. From the point of view of physics, if a bird weighing 500 grams hit with an aircraft with a speed of 370 kilometers/ H, it will produce an impact force of 3 tons. Such a huge impact force may cause serious safety problems, and the aircraft will inevitably be damaged. Big mess.
Are you feel guilty when you have to kill birds.
Yes, of course, but this is my duty, also I can give up over hundred life to save a bird.
Topic I Interviews: DIODE
I interviewed one of friend who is working in a sales and marketing department as general manager position in a local Publicly traded Semiconductor company where is in South Korea. His graduated from international trade business major , and professional keep working in this industry over 10 years.
What is DIODE?
Semiconductor diode
What is the most popular, or what is kinda TECHNOLOGY you are interesting in?
Health care photodiode and Avalanche photodiode.
Health care photodiodes are obviously used for human being health care.
The avalanche photodiode is being used for artificial. Smart cars such as Tesla.
what is health care PHOTODIODE, and how does it work on people?
The health care photodiode mostly used to monitor the heart rate, and how is the heart rate goes, but it is not only for the heart but also for blood pressure, blood oxygenic, and so on.
Now the technic can be used in many ways, but he mentioned the most popular use is on smartwatches, hospital professionals, household health check facilities, and machines. As Simply explanation, It is a type of light receiver, a special light that goes through people’s skin layer, and the receiver sensor will works after it receives the light back, the computer will calculate the number, also compare to the regular data. Also, save it at the same time.
Where does it from? Where does it make the most? And where does it sell to?
Technic mostly is from the US, but most of them are made in TSMC, which is located in Taiwan, and they produced over 50% all over the world. Most of the productions sell to APPLE, SAMSUNG, MI, and so on.
How about the future of health care photoDiode?
The future for photodiodes is wild bright because people live longer, and many countries have to face the problem which is the aged population. As time goes by, technic will definitely be developing. It will be used in more industries.
What is the most important element to make a photodiode?
Si, Au, Sn, most of them from China.
System map: border and Migratory birds
The discussion of the last week, give me a lot of different ways to think about the topic what is the Border. We made a general one in class, and I made one for our topic which is the Migratory bird.
after I dug deeper for migratory birds, I got shacked about t over 40% of birds are already gone. Think about covid 19 took away part of our people, and we feel really bad already, how about we lost 40 % of us? That’s the reason why I wanna explore more about Extinction. First of all, I will use the shocking number to bring out my topic and thoughts, and make a picture of how birds dying affect our society.
Things I have learned from the system map are,
1, a system map helps us find out more ideas directly related to the topic.
2, a system map helps for group work, to separate each part of team members.
3, a system map helps out to find a metaphor behind the topic and gives people a bright, and clear picture of the topic.
That is pretty much what I have got learned from the last class. also, those links below are a part of the references that I am going to use for my project.

Exploring The Underground Network of Trees – The Nervous System of the Forest
Topic I Development: Bored and Migratory Birds
Initial Approach
When I got my topic, which is Migrated bird. It reminds me of my first years when I stepped into this country, I have been invited to a Christmas party by one of the professor’s houses in Washington state. I saw a lot of birds out of the window, landing on the ground. Two birds were always vigilant watching around, I asked the professor, and she told me they are from Canada, and they visited her place every Christmas. That’s the very first time, I realized this is one of a kind of Migrating bird, and we are so close. They cross the bored all the way to travel to the destination that they used to. Splendid nature.
Just like the short story that I have mentioned before, bored and Migratory birds always meet up, and faded away from each other, but will make the essential connection again.
I think those two topics are very good demonstrations for us because I never thought about those two topics can be related, but after I dinged deeper, I just related most of everything that can be related, remark, and re-definition again. and remind people to think about nothing related topics. for example, my topic is the border and migratory bird, after research, I just know about 40% of birds are faded away from people’s sight. people need to pay attention to it.
Personal Definition:
Bored: The edge, line, or boundary of something to make a piece in different parts and near each other.
Migratory bird: A great creature that constantly changes itself in order to adapt to an unfavorable environment.
