Wrap Up Week 3: Public Space

When I think about the World, I think about the unlimited amount of opportunities we have to learn and grow as a society. I begin to think about how we've come so far in technology and innovation, while remaining true to ourselves and never forgetting about our heritage or our roots. However, my opinion of the world is greatly different from everybody else's opinion of the world in countless ways. Central Park for example,  is a place to me where people can have a wonderful time laying in the grass with their friends, or experience the fantastic Zoo or carnival that they have every single day. It's a great place to meet people and it's always open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However a new phenomenon has been introduced to the world, and it is called Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go has taken over the world by storm, and it has easily caused many major changes in our environment. People are now walking and traveling to different parts of their city in desperate search to capture new and rare Pokemon in their quest to "Catch 'em All." Many different places like Central Park have been primetime locations for these avid Pokemon players to travel to and play Pokemon. Central Park used to be a normal destination for people to come and relax, or walk in the park, and a very well known tourist location, but now many people who have downloaded Pokemon Go have decided to flood Central Park because it is a great place to find amazing Pokemon. I think that Central Park is a great place that both enables and disables people. I think that it enables people to interact with other people around them especially now due to Pokemon Go, and it's a great place to come and relax and just have a good time. However, I also believe that it disables people because a lot of the things that people do at Central Park requires running, walking, and now hunting. So, people who have a leg disability won't find Central Park as lavishly as we do. I think that Central Park could be modified by adding more things that people who have a disability, of any variety, could partake in and enjoy. I think that Central Park is a great public space that could use a little new innovation.
