1. What do you think about the Julian Treasure said about sound in his TedTalk? What was one of the points he brought up that stuck with you?
I became interested in the point of "productivity". Office noise is extremely damaging for productivity. If we have to work in an open-plan office, our productivity is greatly reduced. If we listen to a soothing sound like birdsong, our productivity goes back up to triple what it would be.
2. Write down some new vocabulary you heard or read from the talk. Please include them in your entry.
・unconscious
・behaviorally
・dreadful
・soundscape
・congruent
・soothing
・cognitively
3. Try to analyze some sounds around you while you are writing this blog, write down what they are and try to describe what emotion they relate to for you.
The sound of tapping keyboards, people's talking, and turning the pages. These are pleasant sounds for me, so I can do well with my work listening to them.
