FINAL PREZI PRESENTATION

The notion of the queue does not begin when one falls in line, but when one thinks up the action and involves all the mental and physical steps up to that action. For example, the bus queue begins when you think of traveling somewhere.  The thought, purchasing tickets online, downloading e-ticket, packing your belongings, walking from your apartment at the Hudson Yards through the Highline, waiting at the gate for the bus, and finally riding the bus to Atlantic City all make up the queue.
