Today in class, expression oral

You and your group have made an invention which you think could interest an investor.After reading the following data concerning your invention, discuss together to make up any information andarguments you think could help you convince the investors tofinance your project. Try to think of a name for it!Product: an electronic device that can stimulate the pleasure centers of the brain. As it uses electrodes and requiresthe application of a gel on the skull, it can really be operated only at home (no one will wear it in the streets!)Cost of production: about 1 million pounds (800 000 for the factory, 200 000 for YOU).Price:the machine could be sold rather cheap: 100 poundsAdvantage: huge possible demand, everybody will want one.Drawbacks: research has shown that rats will sometimes rather use the machine than eat or try to find a sex partner.You can expect great opposition from moral conservatives.
