@towell_claire based on the article, it doesn't seem like Blockbuster considered the possibility of Netflix being a disruptive technology, if they were even aware of the concept #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@towell_claire I found this interesting article about why Blockbuster failed. The company made most of its profits on late fees, whereas Netflix profited off of subscriptions with no late fees. It'd have been very difficult for Blockbuster to compete without losing a lot https://t.co/oXZaGPCCi2

@harry8135 I continued to be surprised about how often new technology can be utilized for educational purposes when reading everyone's storify stories. I never considered how emerging tech like holograms or VR could be used in such a way, and yet it already is! #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@HarryNotHenry This is a great takeaway! I agree that it's important to find the happy medium when it comes to disruptive technology. There's no way to ever ensure that it will be successful, but there are definitely things to look out for and steps to take to help #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@RifathMaria So many have tried to create technology for the sole purpose of being as disruptive as possible, and they burn fast and bright but are not sustainable, or possibly get disrupted themselves! I think this course makes a good point of the importance of taking your time #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@_claudia_mart_ @sixwordstories right?! Also I just learned that Netflix is TWENTY years old. It took a while for them to get to where they are today, but with the right changes they disrupted the right markets and became a leading player #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@Lorriedel I agree that it's definitely important to acknowledge the faults in the technology we are most comfortable in using, and be open to new technologies that may be more convenient, more ecologically friendly, or better in any other way! #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@cpla8942 A very valid takeaway! It feels like technology's evolving so fast nowadays that it's getting more and more difficult to stay on top of it all. But it's definitely important to stay aware of the technology that can help improve our daily lives #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

Television no more, everything is streamed @sixwordstories #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

Reflecting on this course, I've learned how often emerging technologies can disrupt already-existing markets. If you own a technology or work for a company that does, it's always important to be aware of the aspects of that technology that can potentially be disrupted #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@RifathMaria Bitcoin has had its ups and downs, but the way its been growing recently I think this is a valid prediction #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@_amanda_quinn_ I feel like 3D printing kind of snuck up on me with how quickly it's evolved in such a short amount of time! I'm looking forward to when 3D printers will (as you stated, inevitably) be accessible to anyone #dcim353a

@alaskar_Rutgers Social media platforms are constantly evolving and getting added improvements to make them more appealing to users. I don't doubt that future added features will continue to help Instagram become more of a place where relationships can start #dcim353a

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

I predict that artificial intelligence will be a digital technology that will continue to grow and evolve and be used to perform tasks currently performed by people #dcim353a

@acampos191 I think my favorite of these six skills is "The leader as an analyst: Staying ahead of the curve." Some leaders may think they can just keep posting the same type of information on social media. Keeping up with trends will make them a more attractive account to follow #LIDC01F17

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@sciryand I think it's so cool that these people are being recognized and awarded, because it'll encourage other leaders in charity to utilize social media to help spread their messages #LIDC01F17

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

@mollyru87 I like how this has a focus on how Twitter is a good tool for CEOs to humanize themselves. I feel like some may think Twitter should just be used for promoting their company, but I think a positive reflection of themselves will have a positive reflection on the company #LIDC01F17

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

Many leaders feel like they can just delegate social media work, but in this interview it is made clear that direct connection to employees and customers on social media is important for the modern-day leader https://t.co/ripNxrKJNy #lidc01f17

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

My advice would be to get your tweets and replies out there early, because that increases your chances of others interacting with you! #dcim353a #txc17

[Katie Siegel @communikate101]

My take-away from the Twitter activity is that we experienced a way to utilize an emerging technology to communicate with other students from other schools. Not only did we read what others said, but we were able to interact through replies #txc17 #dcim353a
