Week 03

Chinese New Year Week

Update from Jade Min in the future: A brief summary of this week's process journal entry is a bunch of attempts to change the direction of the project, diverting the attention in an attempt to solve the chaos that is unfolding in my mind. This is the only week where the content don't make sense in the grand scheme of things in this project, but still wanted to document the flops that happened during this time. (Sorry for the confusion.)

As mentioned in the previous week, I was feeling very lost and confused about the direction of my project and where I should be headed towards. I spent some time during the CNY week writing a whole new dissertation. I changed my Introduction and Literature Review to fit the idea of social connectedness and technology, in a way where I would be producing a more concrete physical prototype in line with my aim of building social connectedness.
