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.

I found an interesting article about climate change. It mentions that our summer will last half a year by 2100. Winter it self will only be 31 days.
Our summer lasts already 20 % longer than they used to be. The problem is not just that the summer lasts longer, it will be more extreme and forestfires will be more likely.
As already mentioned scientists have already noticed that the duration of summer has grown 17 days in 50 years. And the duration of winter has shrunk by 3 days.
Scientists says that even bigger changes will come.

Today we have to edit our text again, because the whole formation, we already did, got deleted. Another issue is that the formation we want to do will not be taken over and we have to do it again and again.
We are looking forward to finishing our project today and publish it on DON'T WASTE MY ENERGY! We hope that you enjoy reading our project.

Goals
Today we have an interview with Mister Nagel. We hope that he can answer all our questions, so we can use them for our project.
An other goal is that we find other informations, which we can use, from researches on the internet.
At the end of the lesson we are going to summarize what we did and achieved.
Achievements
Our interview was very successful. Mr. Nagel answered our questions detailed, so we can use every single question and answer.
We also did some researches.
In conclusion we achieved our goals for today!

Even in ancient times, women and men wore makeup – not just for ceremonies but also in their day-to-day lives. The earliest cosmetics More...
I know that some companies in different countries use animal testing with new cosmetics and lotions etc.
What I'd like to know is, in which countries is animal testing banned and not banned. Are there protests / organisations / companies against it?
And are there other options to test these things without harming animals or testing it on people?
In switzerland a well known company that is against animal testing is Lush. My idea would be to interview them about this topic.
