Summary draft #2 (Where’s My Supersuit)

 In the article “Where’s My Supersuit in Conversation”, Zelik (2019) writes about the remarkable features and the pros and cons of the wearable exoskeletons which describe as
“mechanized clothing” developed by his research team. The main function of the exoskeletons is to lessen the workload and aid those with spinal injuries by providing a back-support system, and by how it works is by consisting of common clothing materials along with the assistive fabric elastic band, along with a switch which allows user to turn the suit’s assistance on or off.  Zelik mentions whenever the suit is switched off, the user can move “freely and fully” and it does not consist of motors and batteries. In addition, Zelik mentions “it’s easily concealed under everyday clothes”. At the same time, he mentions a disadvantage, such as unaffordability. To conclude, Zelik mentions in hope of “30 years from now,'' the “mechanized clothing”, “will be as common and mundane in society as smartphones are today”.

I shall skip the reason of why I took six years to complete my secondary till the next time. I would say I am a passionate learner as I love to handle tasks that are challenging as they excites me. I love to open and analyse basically any hardware or stationery as it always keeps me interested. Despite times where i forget how to reassemble, I will try to fix it back no matter what happens. This has sparked my interest into an engineering course since young. Which...

Critical Reflection

1.Module Learning At the beginning of this module, I have expressed that I want to improve on my presentation skills and the stumble of words at times, especially when I am nervous or when I am not well-prepared. In addition to the improvement in the usage of grammar in the letter writing. This module will allow me to strengthen my current flaws. Now that the module is coming to an end, I felt that there is an improvement made in my current flaws, although not all of it. I can achieve what I am today is all thanks to my fellow peers, and my beloved Professor Blackstone, who constantly gave feedbacks on my performance which I can reflect on and make the changes.  All in all, I have learned much stuff from this module such as improving my language, making the correct sentence structure, correct usage of APA citation format and the correct style of pitching during the oral presentation. All these which I am not good at from the very start.  With the knowledge I have gained th...
