#DCIM353McCormick In this class, I learned just how interactive Twitter can be, and how it can facilitate communication with other students in hybrid or fully remote classes. I think it was really interesting to get to hear other people’s ideas and perspectives.

#DCIM353McCormick One of the takeaways I got from this course was that disruption is not always harmful. While the word tends to have a negative connotation, disruptive technology can actually improve aspects of society. But, it is also complex and can have pros and cons.

#DCIM353McCormick Statista estimates that this number will increase to 75% in 2025. I predict this percentage will continue to increase in the near future, but maybe to a smaller degree. https://t.co/G8UkyJvC5L

#DCIM353McCormick Alexa, Amazon’s voice assistant technology, has grown in popularity immensely since it first came out in 2014. In 2018, about 28% of American households own a smart speaker. Today, it is estimated that it has reached 60%.

@BenemeritoMarc I agree that that is a really important topic to remember that might be overlooked. It is also important to remember Clayton Christensen’s ideas on disruptive technology.

@Jesshandzo I agree that these are very important topics to remember for the exam. I remember one of our first twitter assignments for this class was identifying a low-end and new-market disruptive technology.

@refai_reshma These are all important things to remember for the exam! I also mentioned the five criteria that make an innovation disruptive because it’s such an important topic for this class!

[Marina Jones @MarinaDCIM]

It is important to remember the five criteria for disruptive change for Test 1. The five criteria are audience, culture, speed, scale, and impact. An innovation must apply to each criteria in order to be considered disruptive. #DCIM353McCormick

For my EDTP project, I will be researching ride sharing apps like Lyft and Uber. They are disruptive and a mainstream mode of transportation. Ride sharing apps are widely used and have impacted relationships, work, culture, and transportation. #DCIM353McCormick

@MooreKyere I think this is definitely a social norm that has changed in the modern digital age. You can easily look at someone’s Instagram page or other social media and gather a lot of information about them before ever speaking to them in person.

@nav470 I think this method of payment has become more and more used and normalized. I use Apple Pay for contactless payments and it makes paying much more convenient. You don’t have to look for your wallet in your bag, so it makes it quicker.

[Marina Jones @MarinaDCIM]

@_andrewgaines I think this is very true in the modern digital age. People are accustomed to having access to technology at all times and now expect immediate results and responses. #DCIM353McCormick

of them ‘almost constantly’” (Vogels). Social media has also changed how we consume information. Many clubs and organizations post updates, and their members are expected to follow and read the information. #DCIM353McCormick https://t.co/VyBCSn84OT

Social media platforms have changed social norms in the modern digital age. When meeting someone, people often exchange their social media like Instagram before exchanging numbers. According to an article by Pew Research Center, “35% of teens say they are using at least one…

An example of a low-end disruptive technology is e-books. It’s more cost effective to buy textbooks online, and less people are buying physical textbooks. An example of a new-market disruption is WhatsApp. #DCIM353McCormick

@valdecicco I completely agree that video calls and communicating through platforms like zoom will continue to grow in popularity. I think after the pandemic eventually ends, video calls will continue to be a main form of communication as it is convenient.

@ompatilru I agree that workout technologies will continue to gain popularity in the future. They are appealing to many people because they are convenient and can save you money in the long run as compared to having a gym membership.

@AAelsais I agree that the upward trend in using self-driving cars will lead to less car accidents, causing driving to be generally safer. But, I think these cars come with their own risks and cons.

@NickR54299440 I totally agree that it’s really important to understand the bus system at Rutgers. It was one of the first things I had to learn as a freshman a couple years ago. It’s so important to familiarize yourself with it so you can make it to your classes on time!
