If it plugs in, has buttons, has a switch, toasts bread, emits light, it probably runs on electricity. We are surrounded by electronic devices. This presents an opportunity. Conceivably, with the right hardware, you can interface with or control any electronic device. Looking in Exploring your local environment (your apartmentneighborhood, your dorm roomwalmart) make a list of electrical devices, your neighborhood) identify and document the 5 most interesting items in this regard--things that you would be interesting like to control. Avoid the dorm room problem--i.e. do not photograph things in your dorm room, apartment, at the price center, etc., unless you have good reason to do so. Dorm room art looks like dorm room's and thus enters the world severely handicapped. Don't do it!!! Document means photograph, video, or draw. Post images of these five things to the wiki page you made in part 1. Image uploading help here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Uploading_images.
