Prior to starting the first week at Ravensbourne I visited
The Design Museum focusing on the exhibition The future is here. I really
enjoyed exploring the museum and it was a real eye opener into what our future
is going to be like. My first initial reaction was the great big flashing sign
that I encountered whilst walking up the stairs. “The future is here/ The
future was here” I found this to be very powerful and instantly you knew what the
exhibition was trying to present.
It was very
fascinating to find out different elements of the future and what is actually
available today however with the world we live in it is not possible to have
all the wonderful machines and objects we have invented due to money. For
example the light bulb that lasts forever; this would not be practical in the
world of business due to the way that we all rely on money. Even if the light
bulb was very expensive this would not compensate for the lack of money the
business would gain due to not having to replace the bulb. I really liked the idea of the biodegradable
shoe although I wonder if it would actually work as the shoe could start to
degrade whilst you are wearing it, and this wouldn't be a good look. Upon further exploring the museum I found many interesting
facts of the past as well as the future. I was unaware that our coins all put
together made a picture which was I was curious to see and also inspired me in
many ways to find out more about our country leading me to learn about the euro
and the different images on each countries version. I really enjoyed the museum
and definitely enjoyed it fully, alongside the views that surrounded it.
