Enhancing a Technical Talk with the Internet

I’m really excited to be on the last project of the Technical Presentations manual. The main goal for this project is to use the Internet to inform the audience about my topic before my speech.

I’ve been inspired by Aimee Mullins who is an athlete, model, and actor to talk about prosthetic limbs. I would like to hear your comments on her talk. What do you think of the idea that “prosthetic limbs are more than just a replacement, they are works of art”? Also, think about another question: If you lost a leg, would you have a prosthetic or would you use a wheelchair?

Ms Mullins’ speech can be seen at:

You can post them either here or on my blog. I look forward to reading your comments! English or 日本語OK!
