Bacteria Transformaton, Science Centre

Went to the Science Centre 14/o7.
Had an okay time transforming bacteria.

Success rate of the bacteria being transformed is 0.5%! WHAT'S THE USE THEN. Just show us the transformed bacteria, instead of getting us all excited, and then we fail.

Anyway, 4e6 was camwhoring, and since I had a camera, I went around snapping people. I LIKE DOING THAT.

























OMG. I LOOK LIKE A DENTIST!
*screams* :D









Anyway, after all this, I went into Science centre. Alone.
Contrary to many who think so, I PREFER TO BE ALONE.
The freedom of choice. Where you want to go, where you would like to go next.

I decided to check out the new exhibits at iSpace.
All this infocomm techonolgy stuff is ultra cool!

But before that, I had a looksee at the toilets at Water Works. NICE AND PINK.


This was the first thing I saw when I entered the iSpace section. WHOA. I wanted to hop in. Nice cobalt blue.


And my iSpace journey begins. I had to take a card which contained a RDIF chip, and I registered my name and age with these kiosks.


Afterwhich I headed up and I had to pass through a walkway. It made me rather dizzy.


This was one of the exhibits I saw. They spoke about the evolution of inventions. How they just got better and better! And guess what? The poster you see is not a poster, it's digital, as you slide the display across the board, they tell you about the pictures that correspond behind it.


And I saw this toilet bowl called BioStool. It can measure your weight, blood sugar levels etc. I didn't attempt to measure my blood sugar level and cholesterol. But I did attempt to take my weight with the BioStool. All you had to do was sit on it. AND OMG. It was accurate!

Headed down to the ecogarden afterwards. And the air there is so FRESH! All that photosynthesis made the air there a lot more breathable.
I saw this plant named the "Mother-in-law Plant". Was trying to draw some parallels to mother-in-laws but I couldn't. Because all I know about mother-in-laws is that they are EVIL to their daughter-in-laws. Then again, that generalisation made by me was influenced by media, which proves to be inaccurate. SINCE WHEN was media accurate?

I didn't take any more photos, but I had a damn fun time just playing with all the exhibits.
Technology you rock!


Anyway, speaking about technology (this is where I start to think about SS lessons).
It's always changing isn't it?
So is our economy.

From a labour intensive economy, we moved on to a capital intensive economy. Now we're moving towards a Knowledge-based economy (KBE). What next?
Innovation driven economy? Newfangled idea economy? Lastest thing economy?
HAIYA. Let's just call it a God-help-us economy.
