The three stories that stuck out
to me were the Handprinter, TOHL, and Hungry Planet Farms. I thought each addressed a problem in a way
that hasn’t been tried before. The first
one that interested me was handprinter.org.
I had heard of your “footprint” before, but the concept of an environmental
“handprint” was new to me. This website addresses
the problem of mankind’s negative affect on our ecosystem by creating,
essentially, a social media website that encourages and creates a net positive
impact on our ecosystem. 
The second idea that caught my
attention was the TOHL, or mobile infrastructure. While the actual build wasn’t complicated at
all, the idea was revolutionary. What
makes this idea so unique is that all other means of emergency water supplies
require either multiple truck loads whereas this new system requires only one
trip for a reliable water source that is available for as long as needed. 
The last innovation that impressed
me was the Hungry Planet Farms. The
cool thing about this idea was that it combined the sustainability of a farm
with the easy transportation of cargo containers. It is the combination of these two previously
uncorrelated aspects of emergency response that makes this idea great. All three of these stories interest me because
of their unique innovation.
Although I am not certain about
my passion, I want to go into engineering.
If I didn’t have to worry about money I would spend my time tinkering
with electronics. The only work I would
want to do is creating miscellaneous gadgets
