The second reason he mentions is that phone numer have limit of making contact. However, e-mail  help for contacting each other whenever and whereever.

 

These are the rasons why the man thinks the proposal is a great idea.

According to the anouncement, the university should eliminate the darkroom for the photography club and change the darkroom into a computer lab.

 

The woman thinks the announcement is not a good idea and gives two reasons fot holding opinion.

 

The first reason she mentions is that  the change is not logical. The university's opinion is that they keep the photograph club room with cost too much. But the computer lab is a lot of technology. They should pay for enormous electircity.

 

The second reason she mentions is that the student in photograph club didnt just have hobby. In there, some of them seriously think to be professional photographer. So, this darkroom for the photography club is practical and competitive.

 

These are the reasons why the woman thinks the announcement is not a very good idea.

 In the lecture, the professor talks about illusion of transparency.

 

The professor gives an example using his personal experience to explain the topic.

 

The prof. first says that yesterday he invited two of his fellow for dinner. One is not familiar and the other is good friend for 5 years.

 

The professor then syas that one who is not familiar wasn't late and the other is friend for long time is late. So he skipped the greeting about old friend. But it is a fault about the professor. He gave the method about the route to come to his home clearly to not familiar friend. Meanwhile, he didn't give the map to old firend since he expected the old firend know all about him. But old friend came to professor's home first.

 

So this is an example of illusion transparency.
