InterviewInterview

For my interview part of this project I For my interview part of this project I interviewed Shay Shemesh. He is a construction interviewed Shay Shemesh. He is a construction manager, constantly trying to improve his manager, constantly trying to improve his company’s success by finding new company’s success by finding new technologies to supply his workers with to technologies to supply his workers with to better their performance. He helped me by better their performance. He helped me by telling me about an all-rubber tire that is being telling me about an all-rubber tire that is being developed by Dunlop Tires, and a car that runs developed by Dunlop Tires, and a car that runs on water instead of fuel.on water instead of fuel.

All-Rubber WheelAll-Rubber Wheel

Dunlop Tires are currently working on a Dunlop Tires are currently working on a revolutionary car wheel which, instead of our revolutionary car wheel which, instead of our common air-filled rubber tire, will be made of common air-filled rubber tire, will be made of completely rubber- inside and out. This is an completely rubber- inside and out. This is an amazing improvement to wheel technology amazing improvement to wheel technology since this will completely eliminate the since this will completely eliminate the possibility of a flat tire, which means we will possibility of a flat tire, which means we will have to change our tires much less often, and have to change our tires much less often, and the tire will act as a much more efficient shock-the tire will act as a much more efficient shock-absorbent.absorbent.

ConclusionConclusion

Technology is a field that will never stop Technology is a field that will never stop prospering, improving, and making our lives much prospering, improving, and making our lives much easier and perhaps more exciting. Every day we are easier and perhaps more exciting. Every day we are presented with new inventions, technologies, and presented with new inventions, technologies, and ideas, which are only getting more and more ideas, which are only getting more and more impressive as time goes by. Soon enough we may impressive as time goes by. Soon enough we may find ourselves living in outer space, getting around find ourselves living in outer space, getting around by being the passengers of a driver-less water-by being the passengers of a driver-less water-fuelled car and instead of walking, we may be fuelled car and instead of walking, we may be moving around by operating a wheelchair using moving around by operating a wheelchair using nothing but our brains.nothing but our brains.
