Goalkeeper @tsphillips14 signs on the line to join the @MotorikFC family. Tyler is sure to be one of the top keepers in the league this season, and more importantly a great human being. We couldn’t be more proud to have him between the sticks.
@FutureCities4 #endofsemester I don't think COVID-19 will have long term effects on urban form. Increased health efforts have us on a path towards normalcy. Individuals will be more conscious of daily health habits, but I don't think entire urban forms will be impacted.
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech I connected most with 'The Modular Man'(week 7). Cities are very enjoyable to me for their variety of offerings to everyone. However, our surroundings, especially other people, can fade in importance because of how busy cities are.
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech I don't see Covid-19 having a big impact on Globalization. There may be a pause due to worries about moving to cities and being around large crowds. However, with further research, I think we may soon treat Covid-19 as we do the seasonal flu.
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech#auntomousvehicles I think we will see a rise in computer engineers and a decline in mechanics. Tesla is a perfect example. Self driving cars are operated by computers, so a glitch is more likely than troubles with a traditional car part.
'16-24 year old's aren't interested in football'
When I was 15 I was watching Man Utd play Bayern, Barca, Inter & Juventus in the Champions League on ITV with 15 million others.
Sky took that away. If 16-24 aren't interested in it, it's because they've been denied access to it
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech#afrofuturism In documenting places that represent Black liberation, we can study some of the traits that make these places what they are. Further, we can try to replicate these traits in other areas to promote continued Black liberation.
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech#biophiliccities 3/3 post pandemic biophilic cities will provide more spaces for collaboration, both in public and private. We can see this vision in buildings like the 'Bosco Verticale', where residents each have their very own mini forest.
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech#biophiliccities 1/3 I think we will start to see more embrace of biophilic cities post pandemic. There will be more emphasis on outdoor spaces to facilitate continued social distancing. Additionally, as the pandemic has shined light on mental
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech#biophiliccities 2/3 health, nature will be more important to integrate into our cities. Further, providing more natural spaces has proven to improve quality of life in cities, as well as contribute to sustainability goals. Finally, I think
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech#biophiliccities Technology plays an integral role in the connection between nature and urban areas. I think we will see the development of watering systems and controlled climates to strengthen the interaction between nature and urban areas.
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech Individuals, cities, and nations waste energy in the same ways. Excess electricity, air conditioning, and water use can be some of the biggest energy wasting sources across the world. However, new design and research, can reduce this waste!
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech Now, more than ever, I feel it is crucial that cities to turn to sustainable futures to reduce our effects on the environment. More people live in cities than ever before, so cities will continue to have major consequences on the environment.
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech 2/2 This source explains some of the facts related to climate change similar to the IPCC report. However, instead of using them to strengthen the argument for global warming, they use them to further their skepticism. https://t.co/dN4zTHo49R
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech 1/2 I believe climate-change skepticism can occur in academia. Academics and professionals can have different views on a wide array of topics. Some skepticism allows for a healthy dialogue between students, professors, professionals, and etc.
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech 2/2 This article discusses some attributes that describe third world countries. Brazil and other countries mentioned in the reading experience some of these things, but also go against some of the description as well https://t.co/Pv247bCcn1
@FutureCities4 #futurecitiesVaTech 1/2 It seems that Naisbitt is referring to certain countries as third world while omitting some information in his determination. For example, he references Brazil as a third world country, however, they had the 10th largest economy in 1980.
