During Technology & Information System on 25^th of September 2017, there was a public lecture by Prof. Dr. Rose Alinda Alias. The lecture was discussing on Forth Industrial Revolution(4IR). It gives the students some exposure on what is 4IR, Industry 4.0, Education 4.0 and UTM 4.0 Journey also how to react to these changes.

In the past few years, people around the World has shown their interests in these issues. World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2016 brought the theme of “Mastering the Forth Industrial Revolution” also discussed on future graduates requirement which is crucial for the UTM students especially to the Computer Science students where there will be a huge change in the World by our courses.

Industrial revolution is defined as the changes in manufacturing and transportation that eases the human works which uses an agrarian and handicraft economy  into using machines in large-scale factories. This revolution occurs in manufacturing and transportation which began in Britain in the 18^th  century. The revolution continues from the First Industrial Revolution until now the starting of 4th Industrial Evolution

There are a lot of visits done during Technology & Information System course which were parts of the learning process. We have visited a few places that has high potential for us to grow such as Centre for Information and Communication Technology (CICT), Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru (MBJB), CoolCode SDN. BHD, Media and Game Innovation Centre of Excellence (MaGICX).

On those visits, we manage to meet the inspiring leaders in Computer Science field. We learned that computer science are a growing course and we are among the lucky students which our courses grows rapidly but, from those rapid growth on our World, we the computer science students must also grow along the technology growth. We must prepare our skills, mental, logical thinking and others to boost our marketability in this field.

In conclusion, all this skills is based on us and not depending on our courses and lecturers. We must independently grab every opportunity given by either the UTM itself also to the outsider such as the users of internet around the World.

First game : Each group were given a piece of A4 paper to produce and provide step-by-step instruction on how to build an origami. After that, another group will listen to the step-by-step instructions and try to rebuild according to the instructions given. This requires a precise but simple instructions so that the other group manage to visualize what instruction given. The other group manage to build the origami but we did not manage to build theirs'. In conclusion, the instruction given by us is determined on how we code our coding which we need to give a simple but effective instruction to be efficient.

Second game: Two groups are given different pattern on a piece of paper. Each group were required to translate the pattern into symbols and the other group will be translating the symbols into pattern. Both our groups manage to get the correct pattern. In conclusion, we as a programmer must think on how to code so that every programmer can understand our coding. Our coding must consist of simple and understandable codes.

Conclusion: Playing these games can help us improve our logical thinking skills and train our brain to be a better programmer.
