A key takeaway I got from this course is that disruptive technologies are fundamentally changing the world. I have also experienced how the technologies we covered in class are affecting individuals, industries and societies as we progress into a new industrial era. #DCIM353a
@Brookerutgers Hi Brooke, this is a great topic that gives you so much to talk about. There are different ways you can approach the topic too but overall very relevant topic to the current times.
@sydney_shack This topic sounds very interesting to me because this is the first time I am hearing about it. After doing a bit of reading on the topic I think you made a great choice for your essay topic.
@Michael02918381 I completely agree with you on the relevancy of pandemic tech to people like us who are so involved with IT. Good topic, you’ll have a lot of resources available for the essay.
In preparation for the essay I found that one of the articles from week 4 has some very important concepts about the acceleration of technology due to the coronavirus pandemic. This is important and interesting because these technologies will shape the way we live. #DCIM353a
@JosephC27245947 I completely agree, contactless payment has become so prevalent that it will definitely continue to change how we conduct business. This type of technology can be very disruptive, and it may shape the way in which we transact with one another.
@erin_tdc This is one of the best examples of the changes in social norms caused by the digital age. I can totally see how new-age technology affects many aspects of a child’s life. The article is very informative and a good read.
@HuangXiening Hi, I think your article is a perfect example of a disruptive technology that gained a boost during the pandemic. I completely agree that shopping has never been more convenient with the use of the internet and fast delivery.
For the EDTP I will be researching about blockchain technology and analyze the changes in society as a result of its emergence. Blockchain has been considered a disruptive technology with promising innovation in the financial and commercial space. #DCIM353a
The modern digital age has changed many social norms and aspects of personal identity, but nothing has been more impactful than social media. #DCIM353a

@aleenak313 I believe that Hasan Minhaj has many qualities of a leader. First, he has a very pleasing personality, a trait paramount to the success of any leader. Second, he has the ability to relate to his audience in a way that is not only informative, but also funny and creative.
@BillyCa11532656 I couldn't agree more about Barrack Obama being a great example of a leader in the digital age. He utilizes social media platforms very well, and his self-awareness is crucial to being an effective leader on social media platforms.
The leader I chose to find with a strong digital presence is Marc Benioff. As the CEO of SalesForce, Marc has proven himself to be not only one of the top CEOs in the country, but an outstanding leader as well.
