A main takeaway that I got from this course was how much technology can have a major impact in society. Before this course, I'd never really thought twice about the disruptive impact of technology. However, I learned how much something impact multiple aspects of my life. #DCIM353

@rohit_unnam Luckily in "Meeting the Challenge of Disruptive Chance" article in Week 6, there are ways to cope with the fast technology advancements: creating new structures, expand a new organization from an existing one, merge with another organization with similar values. #DCIM353B

@IsaacSYoon1 I think people tend to resort to easier/more efficient methods. Social media makes it easier to connect those with similar interests (in the same chapter). People (especially more shy people) find it easier to find a friend in Facebook group than going out to a gym. #DCIM353B

@Sabit_15 Hey! I also agree with how the internet is very beneficial during this time. People turn to social media now more than ever because of the pandemic. Especially in the same paper, it's easier to find those who are similar to you. People can bond over a "common ground." #DCIM353B

[Virginia Cheng @VirginiaCheng18]

#DCIM353B I think an important concept to look into is Week 5's "Superconnected" paper. The use of the internet makes it easier to connect people with similar interests and also detect those with dissimilarities too!

@RodioTimothy Hey Timothy! VR is such an interesting topic to discuss! I've always wondered what the long terms effects virtual reality might bring to society, especially health wise. I remember watching this challenge by Mr. Beast where person who keeps their VR set on the longest wins money.

@rugrossinichol1 Podcasting is an interesting topic! I started listening to podcasts just last summer when I worked at my internship. I realize I only really listen to podcasts whenever I'm at work or multitasking. It's probably because I want to have something to look at or do while listening.

@DCIM_tmh174 Hey Taylor! It's interesting how every QR code has a unique pattern that leads to a specific link. I find it easier to use a QR code to promote for my organization. I even scanned a QR code today at a restaurant! #DCIM353C

The topic for my EDTP, I will be researching the culture and impact of online dating. I want to go more in depth in dating apps and other platforms where one can meet new people like Facebook groups. Especially during the pandemic, online dating has greatly increased.

@Airport5Guys Hey Jean! This is my first time on this site and it looks like fun! Ever since the pandemic, I do see the increase in usage of virtual games. It's a great way to stay connected with friends since we're limited by what we can do with each other these days.

@TDCNickRossi Hey Nick! I also did the same article! Dating apps have been changing people's perspectives on casual dating. Even though these apps do increase the potential pool, it's scary how easy it is to hide behind screens. So many people experience harassment or catfishing on these apps.

@maxkas2811 I find it interesting how hospitals can use video conferencing software to minimize contact between patients and health care providers. It's definitely a very smart concept because providers would want to reduce physical contact while also build a relationship with patients.

This article talks about how online dating has changed people's perspectives on romantic relationships. Online dating makes it easier to find attractive people of similar interest but it's also easier to lie about oneself to sound more desirable #DCIM353c

@CelineL1282 Hi Celine! When looking at TikTok, it seems like a very successful disruptive innovation. according to Christensen Institute. The platform is affordable and accessible to almost anyone with internet. Their business models and value network also connect with all kinds of people.

This article talks about about the pandemic impacted social media/online software platforms. For example, videos game streaming sites like Twitch are gaining more traffic while sports channels like ESPN are losing usage. #DCIM353C

@emma_passey Hi Emma! It's very upsetting that quarantine isn't the best scenario for many people especially those from an abusive household. So it's very encouraging to see someone well-known like Emma Watson take a public stand and be the voice for these people.

@syfsyf278 Hi Syfia! I completely agree that BTS members like RM emphasize the concept of self love. This article puts it so well. https://t.co/gBlGutwcvO

The celebrity/leader I choose is Lauv. As a musician, you can convey messages through your music and that's what he did with his songs. More specifically, Drugs & the Internet spreads the message to not base your actions on other's opinions. https://t.co/8XEHKifcW9
