Powerpoint Speech (Partial)

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, today we will be introducing our app for the very first time. Hold onto your seats, we are introducing “Hydrotank!”. I’m Jennifer and next to me you’ll find my teammates: Kelly, Kimberly, and Elyse. Before we get into the specifics of the mobile app. Let’s address some of the modern day concerns that my team based our application on— dehydration. We focused on the issue of health since this is something everybody can relate to. Whether young or old, everyone wants to be healthy. Now, before you is a glass of water, nothing more, nothing less, something that many of us take for granted. As we all know, roughly 75% of our bodies are made of water. Dehydration remains a serious issue today symptoms include: fainting spells, increased infection rate...and many more gruesome consequences including death in severe cases that I am not going to go into. Now many of us in the states do not suffer from severe cases dehydration. But how can we keep track of whether or not we’re drinking enough water to be healthy in a fun and innovative way that does not include primitive tick marks or relying on the generosity and fickleness of memories?
