1Virtual + 1Physical = Mobility (Chan)

This is something that I have in mind of what happened when Virtual Mobility coexisting with Physical Mobility in a conceptual way. The more I think of how the both expects been affecting our daily life, guiding and being the way we interact with each other and the whole world; the more I realize how both of virtual and physical will always be our daily needs for mobility. You just can’t live with either any one of them. Much further, what I have in mind is that it’s just more than just man made marvels that making the future that we’re heading. But more of our future are being tied back to the natural world, the first place how everything was suppose to interact with each other that create this natural chain reaction between each and everything. Yes, we do invent the wheel that changes our way of physical mobility since the industrial age. But since then, human’s daily life are more and more lacking of physical movement or mobility that it starting to affect human’s health. Comparing the normal human life span of the people today and the people 20 or 30 years ago, humans nowadays tend to live a shorter life. The lack of physical exercise tends to be one of the causes. There’s 3 points that interest me.
1. Relying too much on petrol driven transportation system causes pollution to the natural environment.
2. Is virtual mobility the answer to cut down the existing polluting system?
3. Or it’s back to where we started where we depend more on physical mobility which was a much healthier and safer way?

A little explanation about the sketches that I’ve done, it’s just a bare idea that just being put into shape. Made of recycle material, the design is made to be environmental sustainable. It not only being able to be mobile to be moves to any particular place, it also can be able to be change size to take any space in the urban cityscape. The electronics and digital technology inside will be naturally powered. Instead of moving around using technology, it will be powered by a horse. Weird but that’s the way of avoiding petrol transportation for now.

My idea is to incorporate virtual mobility and physical mobility. Not to just letting virtual mobility to take over physical mobility in every aspects of human lives. In UK, people are encouraged to walk. It’s a good value that should be maintained. My idea for this Friday presentation will most probably hitting on coexistence of Virtual and Physical mobility.
And can we all meet up 2moro, Thursday 15.10.2009 ? Sometime somewhere to prepare our presentation for Friday?
