    Presentation Progress Report

     A well-written paragraph that states in detail what your topic is. Be sure to clearly link your topic to

    both technology and society/societal trends.

    My topic for my final project is the influence of technology on obesity. I have chosen 5 sources that I plan

    to argue the positive views, negative views, cultural views, policy referenced, and proof of advancement

    in technology affecting their weight. Technology and society/societal trends are both link to high obesity

    We will argue that technological change has increased “weight growth by making home- and market-

    production more sedentary and by lowering food prices through agricultural innovation. In addition, we

    illustrate that, while exercise and food intake are complements, reductions in exercise will always raise

    optimal body weight, as will increases in food intake.” My presentation will also characterize how body

    weight varies when it comes to income, within the country, and across countries. Explaining thoroughly

    of technology’s positive and negative impacts on a person’s weight can change one’s routine with

    nutrition and possibly lower statistics.

     A well-written paragraph that identifies the type of presentation you plan to give (e.g. slideshow,

    written materials, podcast, YouTube, etc.). Your presentation should be creative, engaging, and

    informative. Remember that in the last week of class, YOU become the teachers. Think about your

    audience and how to present material in an interesting and clear manner.

    My final project will be presented via PowerPoint. While processing my PowerPoint slides, I feel the

    presentation will be a lot more engaging as I plan on sliding videos on several countries explaining their

    cost of living. I also plan on going deep in statistics that explain the negative and positive impacts on

    technology. The goal is to change the minds of those who want to eliminate technology completely and

    to help those who are struggling to change their daily routines into something better. When presenting

    material, I plan to also include questions that will later be answered as we are going a long into the

    slides.

     Define your topic, linking it to technology and society: (Slide #4) Influences on obesity when

    Technology is in use.

     Trace the history of your topic: History on this topic includes issues with the high rise of upcoming

    childhood obesity. While explaining history may be a deem difficult, explaining examples and

    scenarios will help. An example would be explaining how less children are in the playground and are

    now stuck on video games and becoming less active. Realistic examples can definitely trace a

    memory of the audience to when they were highly active and how much it has changed now.

    •Describe how your topic compares to at least one other culture: When comparing cultures, I plan on

    explaining America’s world of living compared to Japan’s analysis. Using statistic and diagrams, my point

    is to explain how American population is more obese than of the Japanese population and why.

    Discussing the imbalance of calorie intake as well as environmental factors can explain the volume of

    food consumption. When the learnings of a culture, the small model of society learn to adapt starting as

    children. Now, involving technology, there is a blockage of growth.

    •Identify relevant policies related to your topic : Policies, laws, and regulations are extremely needed

    when the environmental and social changes that will have an impact on increasing obesity.

    •Discuss future trends related to your topic: The future trends with this topic is that economic growth

    and technological change have huge incentives for long-run growth in weight. With the recent rise in

    obesity, the hypothesis that technological change has simultaneously raised the cost of physical activity

    and lowered the cost of calories.

    1st Slide: The first slide of my presentation will include the topic and of course the title of my final

    project.

    2nd slide: Table of Contents with explanations and cited sources

    3rd slide: Includes Questions/Objectives that will be answered throughout the presentation.

    4th Slide: Includes the positive impacts of Technology

    5th Slide: Includes the negative impacts of technology; also introducing obesity topic

    6th Slide: Obesity and technology in America

    7th Slide: Obesity and technology across the country (Japan Example)

    8th slide: Obesity/Society influenced by technology (Policy references)

    9th Slide: More statistics as to how Technology influences obesity

    10th Slide: Video of supporting evidence.

    11th Slide: Conclusion/Citations

    Questions that will be in presentations : The question becomes whether it truly is the fault of technology

    today that is causing this issue to become so prominent or is it the faults of the individuals and their

    families? Do the cons outweigh pros that tag along with the ever-expanding world of technology?

    Additional Information to argue presentation:

    The pros and cons of technological use are very evident and will have a major effect on our society in the

    very near future. The issue will be, do we increase technology to the point where physical exercise would

    be limited, or do we some way have to figure out a perfect balance between both things in order to have

    an efficient society and healthy individuals.
