Why I Opened My PS3

To fix it. So I thought. What happens when you go to diagnose a problem but have no clue what to do? You start digging. You check everything until you find something wrong. I jumped straight to the inside and opened it. Which didn't help at all. The problem was that my Hard drive was corrupted, and corrupted past the point of where the PS3 could fix itself. but it was still interesting to see what was on the inside. Now when I see it the PS3 I don't think of the smooth outside but the complex inside with all the wild mechanisms. This also has taught me to look deeper past what I see on the outside and look at the inside, or true meaning of things.
Long story short, my PS3 was broken/inactive for about a year or two. To fix it I deleted everything and decided that i could always restart everything. Once I formatted the Hard drive, which is just deleting everything, the PS3 restarted and it ways like it was brand new.

On the Inside

I believe that everyone should see the inside of some of the devices they use. This way they can appreciate the complexity of the devices they use. One time I opened my PlayStation 3, I learned there was a lot of things in there that I didn't understand their functions. There so much extra stuff in there that I never thought was in there. All of our devices seem so simple until we actually stop to think about all they do. Then we begin to understand that our electronic products have even more value than we see them as. Maybe then we will better protect them, and maybe then people will find more interesting and unique ways to innovate towards something even greater.

Thing-link

Think-link was very simple, yet unique and fun to do. It was like a presentation but without slides. Having the ability to put all of the information on one page made seem short but you have the ability to input a lot of information. I also believe that with Thing-link you are able to draw the attention of viewers by having a strong background image such as the Think-link example of the moon, space, and stars. My Thing-link only uses a basic picture of the school, but you still get the feeling that you know more about it because you've seen the actual building. Think-link should be introduced to teachers so they can import them into their teaching methods. This way students can be more engaged in what the the class's topics.
