Future scenario 2084
Teaser
Have you ever wondered how surveillance cameras will be used in 2084?
George Orwell asked himself the same question in 1948 and wrote a book about 1984 with his imagination, how life will be in the future.
George Orwell thought that cameras and generally monitoring will be a big part of our life’s.
We are going to compare George Orwell’s book “1984” to todays life and do the same as George Orwell. We will write down our imaginations of how life will be in 2084.
We want to research similarities and differences between security cameras and telescreens. To be even more specific, we want to focus exclusively on hidden security cameras of their existence we are unaware of.

In 1984 there are strict rules and standards to stick by. Nowadays people are allowed to have their own mindset and voice concerning who they want to be and how the want to be treated. At least in switzerland.
How will this issue evolve in the further future? Are people allowed to call themselves just anything they want? What could be the consequences of such a society?
We wrote our last IDAF concerning today's gender community. We compared life for transgender people in 1984, today and 2084. Our theories as well as our podcast are attached below.
Please understand that these are only speculations based on our own experiences and knowledge of this topic. We tried to write as neutral as possible. Thank you for understanding.
This is our last post on The Horse and we want to wish you good luck finishing your BMS and apprenticeships.
Best of luck and goodbye

In George Orwell's bestselling novel of a futuristic society, 1984, a speakwirte was an instrument which could transfer spoken language directly into text. A speakwrite from 1984 can be compared to modern day speech recognition software. In 1997, 49 years after the novel was published, the first commercial speech recognition programs appeared on the market. Sadly, they were not as efficient and easy to use as would like. Now almost 25 years after the first programs for dictating texts came onto the market and flopped, are those programs now delivering enough quality and convenience to be using them in everyday life. But what about in 63 years? In the year 2084, which is 63 years from now, it would mark a 100-year difference to the novel’s version of 1984. Would our dictation machines finally work so flawlessly as the did in George Orwell’s version of 1984? Or would they even excel our expectations. As George Orwell would call it, would a “thinkwrite” machine be possible? A machine that would just transfer your thoughts into text…no need for voice recognition software.

Deceitful, manipulative, persuasive or informative? However you perceive it, visual propaganda has been used to change the way the world thinks and behaves for thousands of years.
These days, thanks to a history of being used to drive harmful or discriminatory messages, propaganda generally carries a negative connotation. In this work we will compare the kind of propaganda in the book 1984 by George Orwell with today's situation and how it could look like in the year 2084 with the topic propaganda.
It is important to always question the information you receive. You should always form your own opinion and we show you why.

The website of the "Gletscherinitiative" has some drammatic news: https://gletscher-initiative.ch/climate-update/climate-update-26-05-2021.

So now that I had achieved a collaboration with one of the most popular start-up's in switzerland, I had to start working on my own project. So what does a non-profit organisation need to work?
- A Landing Page for informations & donations
- Social Media channels for promotion
- A bank account to receive donations
I began by designing my homepage on wix.com. This is a website which provides website templates & editor, which makes creating a website very easy. I'll be using the website to inform students outside of our school about this project and the main goal would be to receive donations for my project.
Promotion. The most important Tool to attract attention to Tree Novice. Because of this pandemic most students use social media more than ever and that is something I'll be trying to profit from. I'll be using Instagram & TikTok and creating content and building up a community. If everything goes as plan I'll be able to raise attention for my project and the Horse in general, so students can also see all the other amazing projects being created by my fellow students.
The easiest way to donate or just send money in general in Switzerland is obviously TWINT. So I created an account for this project. I've also received QR-codes to put on my posters so students can directly donate with their phones.
If anyone has got any questions or feedback I'll happily receive your comments & try an answer them as fast as possible!
Kind regards
Tree Novice :D
After planning my raw project ideas I started by writing a Collaboration Inquiry to NIKIN. NIKIN is a clothing brand from Aargau that has gained a lot of attention since covid-19. The start-up wanted to give something back to our environment. So they plant a tree for every item of clothing that is purchased. I sent them an inquiry hoping to team up with them and learn how they do everything.
Following you'll be able to read my inquiry that I sent to the CEO. I got an answer that wasn't to positive put I was happy to receive an answer. They said the had enough ongoing projects already so they won't be able to do an exclusive collaboration, but they'll answer any questions that I would have. I really appreciate this opportunity and I've been staying in contact with them to learn more about the whole planting process they go through.

My Inquiry (in german):
Sehr geehrter Herr Hänny
Ich habe mich bei Ihnen über Tiktok mit dem Usernamen «centerbender13» in den Kommentaren, bezüglich meiner Vertiefungsarbeit gemeldet.
Ich möchte mich erstens einmal für die Möglichkeit bedanken mit Ihnen direkt Kontakt aufnehmen zu dürfen.
Ich heisse Iain Weder, bin 19 Jahre alt, habe meine Lehre als Kaufmann EFZ 2020 abgeschlossen und absolviere momentan die Berufsmaturität. Im Schulfach Technik & Umwelt habe ich den Auftrag erhalten ein kleines bilinguales Projekt über ein Umwelt Thema zu erarbeiten. Doch statt einfach ein wenig Recherche zu machen und eine Arbeit schreiben, möchte ich gerne der Umwelt mit meinen Taten helfen und dies dann dokumentieren.
Mein Ziel wäre es Spenden zu sammeln und mit diesen spenden Bäume zu pflanzen. Doch als ausgebildeter Kaufmann fehlt mir einiges an Fachkenntniss um mein Ziel zu erreichen.
Dank der Social-Media Präsenz auf Instagram und Tiktok Ihres Unternehmens «NIKIN» wurde ich auf Sie aufmerksam. Nun wollte ich fragen, ob es möglich wäre mit Ihnen ein Interview zu führen, um einerseits mich mehr über «NIKIN» zu informieren und falls möglich von Ihnen Tipps zu erhalten, um mein Konzept ausführen zu können. Wo ich die Bäume kaufen sollte? Wo ich diese pflanzen darf oder wie ich die Genehmigung erhalte, um dies auszuführen.
Ich würde mein Spendenprojekt verfilmen und einen Bericht schreiben. Dies würde auf zwei Umwelt Websites publiziert werden und auch auf meinen Sozialen Medien.
Gerne würde ich mit dieser Möglichkeit auch in meinen Videos, Posts und Bericht für Ihr Unternehmen werben, da ich euer Konzept verfolge und gerne Unterstützen möchte. Falls Sie eine konkrete Idee hätten wie ich am besten für Sie werben könnte oder konkrete Vorschriften haben würde dies gerne mit Ihnen Besprechen.
Mit Freundlichen Grüssen
Iain Weder
Some weeks ago, we got the suggestion from Mrs. Suter, that it would be an interesting topic to do a direct comparison from the different car types like fuel / diesel / e-car / hybrid. Personally, we think that would be a great idea! As one of myMore...
"Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull."
What do you think, this popular phrase from the book 1984 by George Orwell has to do with an actual voting which could reappear soon? In accordance with an event, which is probably coming towards us and whose name is “the Swiss E-ID law”, our future regarding web browsing could look grim. It is big brother or to be exact “the swiss government” who might get access to our search history on Google search, etc. when this law should come to life. In a nutshell, the goal is to create an electronic ID for web purposes with individual login for every web user. They declare it as optional, but what if this becomes mandatory in future? Will our privacy be in danger?
Fasten your seatbelts for this interesting work we did to present you a possible scenario of 2084 which could take place as demonstrated in the PDF document. Do also not miss out to listen to our podcast!

Our house is heated with woodchip heating. The water is stored in a 5000 litre boiler. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how much energy the heating needs and what our family needs in a year.
