Disruptive technologies continue to change our world. Whether it be in music, with Spotify disrupting previous listening methods such as radios, CDs, and iPods, or video entertainment where Netflix eliminated methods like DVDs, cable television, and VHS. #DigiTechF22B
@BuechertMelissa You make a good point about the fast developments of these Smart Home devices, and it will be interesting to see if and where we draw the line from AI being too involved in our daily lives.
@Mma277Marwan This will be interesting to observe and see how the job market copes with the fast advancements technology, especially AI tech, is making. Will all jobs that AI is capable of diminish in the near future?
@HONGJIZHANG8 It will definitely be interesting to see how AI plays a role in environmental issues and if the data that is gathered from AI technologies can help bring more awareness to world issues, like global warming, and encourage those with power to take action.
The impact of AI is clearly seen today, and will continue to evolve and increase its important roles in collecting and analyzing data from user interactions and trends on virtually any platform to maximize company growth and profit as time goes on. #DigiTechF22B
@jxxkie Wearable tech has definitely grown more prominent in our daily lives. One example that I am paying close attention to would be the VR headsets, and it will be interesting how companies, like Meta, use these devices to develop the Metaverse.
I will be researching about the emerging presence of Netflix. I will be diving into how the streaming platform changed the production and distribution of content, while also going into depth about how Netflix uses AI and Data Science to make the platform engaging. #DigiTechF22B
@RobertBDCIM One example of AI that affects everyday life would be Alexa and Siri. Both can be classified as disruptive due to easing individual lives. They take care of several tasks for individuals and families and have allowed them to destress and focus more on difficult responsibilities.
@LilyVollenbroek It is interesting to see how the workplace is leaning towards virtual teams and projects more often now, and choosing to allow employees to work from home to complete tasks more efficiently, but at the expense of having bonds with coworkers and genuine conversations.
@ru_andrew02 Zoom and Canvas have allowed students to have a short-lived joy of having to choice to not go to in-person class and complete tasks on their own time, but at the expense of having face-to-face communication with teachers and other students, reflecting how it was disruptive.
New social media platform, BeReal, advocates for more authenticity for individuals. The app has gained popularity very quickly as it allows people to take a break from the influencers and attention-seeking posts of other platforms like Instagram and TikTok. #DigiTechF22B
