Life Cycle

MY FINAL IMAGES:

These are my final images based on life events things that have happened to me so far in my life and some of them are serious and others are funny such as the flaming toaster was just a funny memory remembered seeing a toaster on fire being thrown into the garden in the early night when it was a full moon (no one was hurt in the process).Then the tv on its own is the fact that I can speak read and communicate in English as this was the biggest way and factor me learning English I would say as a child and I picked up the English accent using the tv and learning from peoples mouth movements and things they say to learn English, what made it that more interesting I would say I was a child at the time so I was very amused and entrained by the tv at the time so learning was also simpler as my brain was hard wired at that age.THE CUBE:

so, I call myself a casual gamer and keep on top of information based on games and content based on Xbox one and ps4 and I play a fair amount of games, when reading an article base on that the CEO of PlayStation (Ps). He said that PS4 is heading into its end of its life cycle as its done the job they wanted it to do and create them and gain gross income, the article says that 3 years ago Andrew House then CEO of Ps said in 2015 the its was the ‘beginning of a harvest period’ [1] referring to the ps4. The word harvest period in gaming or any manufacture is used when you use the cheapest parts to reduces costs and crate maximum profits off there products, such as phones like apple, Samsung and many others, but the biggest and most noticeable is apple as to create a phone costs around £20-25 in parts to create the phone and then as consumers we pay around £1000 for the product.

He thing that obviously caught and made me think from this all was the word life cycle as ps4 was at its end and that made me think about how much consoles have evolved and then it reminded d also me how much I’ve grown up in everyway also, this then made me wonder about my own life cycle.

So, I went to do some research based on people’s life cycle and found out information out that in almost every country you have a life cycle of life in this order, birth-teenage-mid age- retirement- death. So, looking slightly further around I found out that in Hinduism there is more meaning in their life cycle when its spoken of.

 Brahmacharya is a bachelor, student phase of life, growing up, age 1-25yrs.

Grihastha is married life, maintaining a household and family, age 26-50yrs.

vanaprastha is retirement phase, handing over responsibilities to next generation of the family, age 51-75yrs.

Sanyaas is a phase of giving up material desires and prejudices upon people, death, peace and love, 75+yrs.

So, with this I will use this to create my cube and place these words around and inside my box based on the life cycle itself.
