Global Project

What was this project?

For this project, we had to pick a location outside of North America and research its demographics + technology culture. We also had to pick a partner and then compare the two locations in a PowerPoint presentation.

For my project, I did not pick a partner so I chose two locations: Vatican City and Tokyo, Japan. Vatican City is a very small city state and Tokyo is a huge city with lots of advances in technology, so I thought it would be an interesting comparison.

Interesting Facts

In Vatican City, there is only one pet dog.

In Tokyo, there are hotels and restaurants that are automated by robots.

Notes + Presentation

Lessons Learned

I didn't choose a partner for this project, so I can't reflect on the collaboration portion of this project. However, I think that researching these two locations and their usage of technology was very interesting and it was cool to view these two very different locations from an outsider's perspective. I learned how technology merges with day-to-day life, like how Vatican City utilizes the radio station or how the Shinkansen in Japan is crucial for public transportation for millions of people.
