Thanks a lot for your attention.

Questions:
1. What do you think of drones? Do you have experience of flying drones? Or, have you watched someone playing a drone? How do you feel?

2. Do you think a drone is just an expensive toy or this new technology application will really impact the future? (Like computers and cell phones have really changed our lives? Or, do you think the impact won’t be so significant?) If it can help us do things differently, which aspects do you think they are?

3. With the technology advances, what kind of technology development will help you most?

4. Some so-called science fiction scenarios have become reality. What kind of Sci-fi plots do you like? What do you hope they would carry out in the nearest future (time machine, instant move from one place to another, eternal youth, space colonization, etc.)?

5. After finishing this article, do you want to buy a drone? If the answer is “Yes”, what’s your plan?

Dear Taichung Happiers,

What mission can a vehicle fly for you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy4rKoCioQ4

Do you love the sky? Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci (15 April 1452 – 2 May 1519) endorsed spreading wings. “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” As we believe that you are what you give—our first-time host Gary is introducing the big thrill of drone flights—in return, let’s reward him with a most unforgettable Saturday afternoon filled with our passion and lots of fun. Welcome to take a seat, and, buckle up!

How high and how far can we journey with these flying pets? People are furiously happy with drones buzzing everywhere with a wide variety of patterns. http://www.techworld.com/picture-gallery/personal-tech/6-best-uses-of-drones-in-business-3605145/#4 Moreover, instead of singing, Professor Raffaello D'Andrea exhibits “A Sky Full of Stars” with his gorgeous drones and encourages not only further applications but also our appreciation of the creation journey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCXGpEmFbOw&nohtml5=False Meanwhile, staying safe should be a top priority. http://aerialvistaproductions.com/drones-invade-hollywood-drones-are-being-used-to-film-everything-from-movies-to-sports-to-commercials-but-safety-concerns-remain/620/

Put Something In (by Shel Silverstein)

Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-gumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
‘Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain’t been there before.

What is the most appealing area of technology to you? Creation begins with imagination. How imaginative are you? Please enjoy this quiz! http://www.playbuzz.com/jbibue10/how-imaginative-are-you However, there is no need to worry at all. “Reading, conversation, environment, culture, heroes, mentors, nature – all are lottery tickets for creativity. Scratch away at them and you’ll find out how big a prize you’ve won.”--American dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp dances with supporting feet of the creative habit. Having lent his hand to lots of corporations, such as Nestle, Mercedes Benz, and Disney, facilitator and keynote speaker Andrew Grant urged our contemplation of rescuing creativity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2f70QUsmXw So, how about beloved chef Julia Child’s cat as her muse? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtKZMoaA9c8&nohtml5=False

Does technology interfere with humanity? In Steve Jobs’ 2010 iPad's debut speech, his conclusion on the secret to Apple's success is philosophically convincing: "It's in Apple's DNA that technology alone is not enough. It's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields the results that make our hearts sing." Recently, I have re-read the book Night Flight (by French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), which is a short story lingering longer in my mind and requiring the reflection of how humanity is related to everyday life. Love it!

Author and speaker Bryant McGill’s reminder is simple yet more than memorable: “As our heart soars, we fly with it! Let love take you places!” Welcome to fly high with the hearts of our Club. Join us. Thanks!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWz2dDylpDk&nohtml5=False





With Gratitude,
Jasmine
