W4: A World Without Borders  Blank map of world no country borders (Wikipedia) In general, humans live in different countries with different cultures, politics, and environments. In fact, these are due to the national borders which divided the world into many other countries.

Reimagining Everyday Objects Redesigning High-Tech Bookshelf Introduction Bookshelf, a furniture that is in most people's houses to place books and anything we like such as collectible figurines, photo albums, and ornaments. In today's digital age, a traditional bookshelf is no longer sufficient to meet the demands of modern living. Therefore, a high-tech bookshelf is preferable to just a storage option for books to provide more features to us.  Common Problem As a reading lover, I am a person who likes to buy many books and read them anytime I am free. As long as it attracts my attention, it will be on my bookshelf later on. Since a bookshelf is of utmost importance to me, I have faced some problems when using a bookshelf. Not only for me but surely these problems are faced by others too. Messy and cannot find the book we want: When we have bought a lot of different types of books, we will either simply put them into bookshelf or sort them according to our own rules. However,
