Passions and Interests.
Computer Science: I am very passionate about computer science. I currently I am getting better at coding and using this for certain tasks that interest me. I am planning on majoring in this field in college and making part of my future career.
Mathematics: I have always been interested in learning about new fields of Mathematics and applying that knowledge using real world applications. Looking at an Object like an ExtraterrestrialThis object is long and cylindrical. It has many holes as well as protrusions coming out from the cylinder. It seems that a human could easily handle it. There are two circles that can be pressed down causing a click. It is mostly made out of some type of metal. It is very dense. It seems to be put together from multiple different pieces. The buttons cause sounds to play and light to emit from the top of the cylinder. The sound seems to change based on the speed the cylinder is moving at relative to the earth. This leads to two conclusions about the uses of the cylinder. It could be used as some sort of measure of speed or it could be used to illuminate ones surroundings. It balances near the middle of the cylinder. One of the buttons plays weird audio clips that seem to hold no meaning and changes the color of the light. A cap can be removed that allows the light to brighten more area. A nearby much longer cylinder can be placed instead of the cap which then illuminates in a strip which could be used to light large areas because of its high brightness. After holding the buttons for a short time it also plays music presumably to calm the user. I feel a great sense of power when I hold the object, I also accidentally destroyed some things with the object and a weird guy in all black started chasing me. My analysis of this object has been shrouded in much confusion as the object does not seem to be very useful for the humans. The weird guy in all black that started chasing me has also let me know that this object might be very important although it is not very useful.

Reflection
While thinking about how an alien would perceive this object I realized that its use would not be very clear. As it is a replica from the entertainment industry an alien would probably not have enough information to deduce this. I then tried to think of what an alien might come up as a use of this object. I used the characteristics of the object to try and formulate some use that it might have been produced for. It was interesting looking at something from a blank slate. Even though I already knew what the object was for it was interesting looking at it though an outside viewpoint.
