Notebook = Visual

Dress Ring = My ring is a very close personal belonging. Its a symbol of rank and year within the Corps of Cadets. My ring is very visual, covered in meaning and tradition. From the Hokie Bird to the large 2015 on the side the detail is very rich. My ring is also aural, because as seniors are want to do, I bang it off every hard surface I can find. The halls of Brodie are full of the glorious ringing of my ring clanking and clattering off walls and doors.

Phone= My phone is visual and also aural obviously, yet I argue that it is also gestural because of the vibration settings which alert me of everything from Facebook posts to my bitties texting me.

Watch=Like all good future officers I wear a watch to make sure I am always on time. This watch is visual, but also aural and gestural with its beeping/vibrating alarm.

My Alpha A=I wear a golden A on my uniform to proudly let the world know that I belong to the best company in the corps. VV for very visual.

The most different of my two items are probably my ring and my phone. Rings have been around forever and have a very simplistic design, phones are a miracle of modern technology and are very complicated.

I really didn’t bring a fine selection of items for this, alas.
