Trying Rolled Ice Cream For the First Time: Each day on my short commute to class, I pass by Wonders Ice Cream, a newly opened ice cream store that specializes in rolled ice cream. I have previously observed this phenomenon a few times on social media; however, I have not had the chance to try it. This assignment gave me the perfect opportunity to try out a new ice cream shop and try out rolled ice cream. I am sort of an ice cream enthusiast. I find joy in trying out new ice cream shops and new ice cream. What I found to be quite interesting, though, was the way it is made. The person preparing your ice cream for you does so right in front of you. They pour the ice cream mixture on a freezing cold tray/workstation, and blend it with specialized tools. As it starts to freeze, they spread it out on the plate to make a thin layer of ice cream that covers most of the tray. Using the tools, they scrape the now frozen ice cream into multiple rolls and arrange them in the cup. The rolls of ice cream are now handed off to another person who applies the toppings. The finished product is a marvel of taste, texture, and appearance. The rolled ice cream is much more dense than regular ice cream, providing a thorough medium for the flavors of the toppings on ingredients of the ice cream itself to be displayed on. I had a spectacular time trying rolled ice cream at Wonders Ice Cream, and will most certainly be going back for a second taste soon!

Coexistence of Transportation Methods: as new transportation technology emerges in new and existing transportation methods, problems are bound to occur as clashes in the hierarchy begin. It is important to solve these problems in order to maintain balance and order within the transportation ecosystem. For instance, autonomous cars detecting the presence of pedestrians and cyclists, and then maneuvering around them.
Rental Vehicle Experience: The rental vehicle experience is often one of tedious tasks and actions of bureaucratic nature towards. Companies that rent out vehicles are often extortionate, much to the chagrin of renters. Streamlining the vehicle rental experience would make traveling more enjoyable and less stressful.
New Delivery Methods: In this day and age, humans are accustom to most parts of their lives being fast paced and low wait times. Waiting for a mailman or a delivery person to drop off the goods you ordered seems to take far too long and even more so considering the technology that society has adopted in the recent years. Simply put, speeding up the delivery process of goods would make day to day life easier.
