Our performance "Emotion Link" showcases our two products a bracelet and a necklace. These devices can be manually adjusted based on the emotion you're feeling. It's main objective is too help people match with others who feel the same way and create a lasting connection between them. It can help with connecting people who has a hard time initiating conversations. Which has become a problem in recent years leading to increased loneliness. However, we could see that technology is like a double edged sword, this technology could help people who face confrontation issues, although it may disrupt the development of those skills needed if the device is not present. Questions could also be asked, such as that what if other people do not wear the device, you are therefore alienating a huge portion of people who lasting connections could be made with. In my opinion I feel that we may find a way to make this product more standardized and that we could also find a way to make the product work even with those who do not have the same device.
"The Dinner"
It was another group's performance showcasing a table where you put your phone and when you take the phone away the table breaks apart. This clearly is a product that helps solve the connection problem people are having nowadays. This is because it is clearly seen at our daily lives during the dinner table that worthwhile conversations are not being haved. This is because everyone is always constantly on their phone, and this product helps prevent that. The performance clearly was able to showcase how it works, through showing the problem we have for being on our phones, and how the product helps prevent that. I however would have liked a feature to use the phone when absoulutely necessary. For example in the case of an emergency.
