1. Bio-organic Prosthetic technology - with advancements in cell and tissue cloning, such as now being to replicate certain organs, there may be a possibility one day of creating prosthetic limbs for amputees by creating one using their own DNA, this could also be used for organ transplants for the hearts and kidneys too.  Living prosthetics, naturally engineered (2019) Cornell Research .

It would also be economically and environmentally viable long term. McNamara, A. (2022) Future technology: 22 ideas about to change our world , BBC Science Focus Magazine .

This is the music video that I produced over the holiday, initially I had trouble selecting a song that I wanted to use which was likely the most difficult part of the process. From a suggestion I chose "Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen, which may have been a mistake somewhat on my part due to fast-paced nature of the song I wanted to do a lot of quick cuts, which meant of course, shooting and using a lot of footage. This was also hindered by the fact I wanted footage to be fast and chaotic to go along with the song itself.  As I was editing the video from home, I also used DaVinci Resolve because I wanted to learn how to use it which was difficult in the beginning to use as I was used to Premiere Pro, that is why I think that the first half of the video is significantly of a lower editing quality and less ambitious as I was not as familiar with the tools of DaVinci, which is shown by the contrast to the second half.
