 * Describe how Natalie Jeremijenko has based her research on "new technologies are an opportunity for social transformation" to perform "small actions that can amount to a significant effect to improve local environmental health".**
 * Tip: Opening up TED's interactive transcript is very helpful to understand her talk and also looking over her web site on the Environmental Health at Clinic at []. (2 paragraphs)**


 * Choose two projects on HowStuffisMade at [] and write about how they are made. (1 paragraph each/2 paragraphs)**

Natalie Jeremijenko based her research on using new technologies for performing and measuring the effects of local public environmental experiments. The experiments are conducted by using new technologies to provide shock value which then creates social transformation. One example would be the fish experiment in which phone was used to communicate with the fish. The goal of the experiment was to promote awareness that we can make changes through using technologies to local environmental health.
 * Why is it important that we understand how stuff is made as part of our systems analysis and design process? (1 paragraph)**

Natalie is able to offer solutions that affect a large change in both the city of New York and the world as a whole through use of small technologies such as the micro-landscape. She notes that the largest creations of pollution in New York are the networks of roads which funnel pollutants into the sewage system. Therefore, she designed micro landscapes in order to infiltrate the pollutants which both improve the environment and the health of those living in the environment.

First the dairy base is poured into a batch freezer along with the flavour ingredients. Gelato then emerges from the batch freezer after fifteen to twenty minutes. The gelato can then be stored into containers which can be shipped to other places or sold at the store.

Fortune cookies are made from simple ingredients such as sugar, flour, eggs and water. The ingredients are put into a machine which squirts batter onto griddles which are baked at an oven at about 375 degrees. A machine then places the fortune into the cookies after they harden and they are automatically folded. The cookies then have to be inspected manually for defects before packaged.

It is important that we understand how stuff is made as part of our systems analysis and design process because the only way we can improve something is when we know how and where it came from. If we wanted to change something about a design, we have to make sure that it is achievable and whether or not it works in the process of its creation.
