You have 20 minutes to prepare at 100 second presentation to prove why one of the concepts above is better than the other two. This is an individual task and requires you to:


 * 1) Understand and learn about all three concepts to enable you to talk intelligently
 * 2) Decide why the concept you have been given is better and highlight the features that make it superior
 * 3) Select and highlight the negatives or drawbacks of the other two to further enhance the image of your given concept
