It is tragic to see how the climate, as well as human conflict, has afflicted the region of Somalia. It will take time to see how governments respond to this crisis and what steps they will take in order to help the local citizens.

#rucrisiscom The famine crisis in Somalia is a devastating event that is leaving millions of local citizens vulnerable to hunger. Somalia has two rainy seasons per year, and the past few years have not provided enough water for the crops to grow sufficiently. Additionally,

The fact that Somalia receives much of their wheat products from Russia and Ukraine does not help. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is clearly having effects on external parties. The article attached will provide more context to the situation. https://t.co/owxoaqe4TR

Big changes. Additionally, I have also loved having conversations about the future of disruptive tech. I think that foresight is very important, especially when considering the digital age we are in. I wonder what the next age will be? Perhaps the virtual age?

#DCIM353McCormick I think a couple of my biggest takeaways from this course is how technology has developed over time and become increasingly disruptive. I think it has been extremely interesting to analyze how disruptive innovations have affected society and how people react to

@julianatoli_ru I think that you bring up a very interesting point here. Humanity will likely face a choice with AI in the next decade or two in terms of how much control we give it. Underestimating its level of intelligence could potentially be dangerous, while it also provides many benefits.

@YuhanXie4 I absolutely agree with this! 3D printing seems like the way of the future! The way that it makes use of materials is truly incredible, and I am personally curious to see how it would work in a medical environment. Will prosthetics be 3D printed?

@rylayru I think this is very insightful, Ryan. Electric cars and the sustainability factor will continue to progress over the years. With the climate of the Earth becoming much more of a prominent issue within society, fossil fuels will likely be decreasing in the coming decades.

Someone were to officially test Neuralink by the end of next year.

#DCIM353McCormick I firmly believe that Neuralink, Elon Musk’s neurological tech venture, will become a staple in years to come. It isn’t too far-fetched of an idea now that the Metaverse is officially taking shape within society. Neuralink provides a futuristic opportunity that

@YuhanXie4 I think you make a great point here, Yuhan! Not only is it important to know what the 5 criteria are, but it is even more important to know how they can be applied to real life contexts. Providing an example of each is a very real possibility.

@Jesshandzo Sustaining and disruptive innovations will definitely be on the exam! It’s crucial to know the difference, especially because it could be relevant in our lives sooner or later. I think that disruptive innovations will appear at a consistent rate throughout the next few years.

[Robert LaGuardia @RobLaGuardiaCom]

@aliyar_ru I think that the innovator’s dilemma is crucial because it can be studied and examined in real life. Companies like Apple and Amazon constantly face the innovator’s dilemma due to being at the top. They need to stay on top by being consistently creative.

I think an important aspect from class content that will be on the exam is: How does the deep/dark web affect society as a whole? What are ways that society can combat the adverse affects felt by the deep web?#DCIM353McCormick

@YuhanXie4 TikTok is the perfect digital technology to focus on for this project. I don't think anyone could have predicted how prominent TikTok would be globally a couple years ago. It has presented creators with limitless opportunities, but it has come with its fair share of detriments.

@TIFFANYMEI9 I'm so excited to see how your project turns out! Streaming is in such a unique place right now, with its supporters adoring its style, while cinema fanatics say that it is a detriment to filmmaking and has taken us a step back. I can't wait to see how it can be disruptive!

[Robert LaGuardia @RobLaGuardiaCom]

@MarinaDCIM I love the fact that you are choosing this as your topic! I think ride sharing apps will continue to be increasingly disruptive within our society. It is important to analyze their trends and dive deeper into how they will progress. I'm looking forward to your project!

@JennyDukhan I will never forget seeing Oculus Rift on my YouTube recommendations a while ago. I was amazed that you can be even more immersed in video games than we had previously been. Now that VR is being incorporated into many different parts of life, it will be increasingly disruptive.
