Project+8-Ways+the+World+Has+Changed

Power Point Presentation “Ways the World has Changed in the Last Decade”

Choose a change that was discussed in one of the three articles we have studied this week: “50 Ways Life Has Changed in the Last 10 Years” “The Net Changed our Lives Since 2000; by 2020 it will all be about Mobile Access” “5 Ways Technology Has Changed the Way We Do Business”

Make sure that the **FOCUS** of your topic is business oriented. For example-if you chose to write about UGG boots, you would want to discuss the marketing, selling, and merchandising of those boots, __not__ just the fashion trend.

Working with a partner, prepare a Power Point Presentation to further explore that topic and to present to the rest of the class. Use the following parameters:
 * **Slide #1-Title and the names of the presenters**
 * **Content Slides—5-7 slides exploring your topic. Each slide should contain both images and text. DO NOT MAKE YOUR SLIDES TOO WORDY! Each slide should have a distinct topic. For example: History, Inventors, Examples, etc. The content portion of your presentation should explore the __PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE PREDICTION FOR THE YEAR 2020.__ The future prediction portion of the assignment may be based on your own thoughts! Be creative! Remember-by the year 2020 you will be an adult in the workforce USING some of these predictions as a part of your everyday lives!**
 * **Last slide-Bibliography citing all of the sources you have used along with the website addresses.**

You will present your Power Point Presentation to the class on either, Monday, January 9 or Tuesday, January 10. Both partners must participate in the presentation. Do not simply “Read” your slides. Use your slides as a guide to go by, but you may use other visual aides and examples.
