Week 2 Tutorial Session

Tthe week 2  lecture explained alittle more about the ideas of Flexible Mobile Distributed and Virtual ideas / themes. The tutorial sesssions were a little diffrent to a normal where we didn't have a fixed tutor but a rotation of tutors from their respecitve themes and would tutor for a half hour or so and then the next set of tutors would come around and give us some inspiration or questions to answer or a little insight into what the theme could be realating to. In our group of 3 we brain stormed our ideas an wrote them down, a lot raised more questions than answered which left a lot of us confused about what we are aiming to do.... which we were told was a good thing to be at this stage. Below are the scans of the disscussion and brainstorming

What is Australia

Firstly some context is needed in order to find the opportunities (good and bad) available in Australia that can be addressed by the four main themes. Apart from the ideas/ topics in the scan above, some other considerations like sustainability (due to our size and the way use what we have) and the way the states interact with each other.

Virtual

Virtual - quite interesting so vast and brings up more questions what is considers virtual and what isn't the definitions can get a bit sticky, but from the four themes this kind of seems the most different as the others can be realized more tangibly (depending on the way you look at it)

Flexible

Flexible - quite a lot of ideas around flexible, so many avenues to travel down with many thing being able to be made to have some form of  flexiblity design into them.

Mobile

Mobile, something similar to flexible but from what i got from the exercise it would mean possibly moving away from the parliament site in Canberra not that that is a bad thing. 

Distirbuted

Distributed - Brings up some ideas about the distribution of power in the government and how its organised. 

From all this brain storming its not any clearer what we're trying to achieve, but that is what this is about.
