This class made me realize how much technology impacts our lives and every decision that we make, because we rely on it so much.

@DalvinLong_ Embracing change and innovation, especially in the technology world is important, because tech is so useful in our everyday lives. Being an early adopter can really benefit you in the sense that it keeps you up-to date.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@JacindaNembhard I like your perspective on technology. It should be something that people should see as a helping hand, because now more than ever, tech is becoming an important factor in our everyday lives.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@DCIMisabellaL The online and offline worlds are enmeshing. It's been interesting seeing that play out, especially since the pandemic started. Also the criteria for disruptive change has been critical in understanding how fast new tech takes over, which has we've also seen during the pandemic.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@rucatbahamondes This is a really interesting prediction that I never thought about. This is could definitely be true, because VR has gained so much popularity. I'm interested to see how VR and music streaming will potentially work together in the future.

@tchen858 I agree that digital technology for education will continue to emerge. It's helped us so much during the Covid pandemic. I think it will be used more now than ever in the future of education. It completely shifted the way people teach and learn.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@NoaDShaw Virtual reality will definitely experience a lot of advancements. We are seeing it now, like through the company Meta. VR especially, is changing the way we interact with digital media. It's also making it's way into the workplace, meaning there will be a disruptive change/impact

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

Two takeaways for me are: how disruptive technology plays a crucial role in how society functions, both good & bad; and the criteria that makes tech disruptive. These two concepts play a large role in future innovations, and how they’ll affect us later on. #DCIM353McCormick

The future of medicine will change, by shifting to digital medicine to transform the healthcare system. There's research about mobile apps and AI evolving to play a better role in future patient care. Soon people may not have to communicate with a doctor at all.#DCIM353McCormick

@Ishra_Chowdhury This is a good topic to know, because there are many key differences between sustaining and disruptive innovations. Knowing the key differences and the general gist of what these two things are will be important.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@rucatbahamondes This is definitely a good topic to know for the test, because this concept has been transforming our lives, especially during the time of COVID. The concept of working from home has blurred many lines and boundaries of keeping work at work. Now work enters the home life.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@jpowers2022 This is definitely a good topic to know for the exam. Continuity and disruption are the foundation of this class so it's important to know. Continuity has to do with updating old innovations and disruption deals with the total transformation of technology.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

A concept that I think would be important to know for the test is what makes something disruptive. Knowing the five words will help us succeed, because it enable s us to differentiate what's disruptive. It's also the foundation of what we’ll be learning in class #DCIM353McCormick

@rucatbahamondes This is a really interesting topic to choose! Self driving cars are starting to become more common, especially since the creation of the Tesla. I find self driving cars to be slightly intimidating, but it will most likely become very common in the next few years!

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@MortelliteBella Virtual reality is something that's becoming more popular each year. I think it can become something that will change the technologies that we use on an everyday basis.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@Ishra_Chowdhury I think social media is allowing people to build diverse communities all of the world. It's definitely something that is becoming more valuable long term in both the social and professional sense.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

MY EDTP project is on the smarthome and how it's changing the lives of many people along with the idea of what the home is. The smarthome is slowly becoming a disruptive technology in the sense that it’s becoming more common throughout all households. #DCIM353McCormick

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@NoaDShaw The way we share things now online has definitely changed. I feel like people are more comfortable sharing personal things due to the screen being a barrier. People also post things to look a certain way and to maintain/create a certain image for themselves.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@WENXINZHANG_ Today, I feel like people are straying away from forming meaningful relationships, because it's much easier to observe people through social media. Social media is taking away the realness of relationships, especially in the online dating area.

[Madison Roberts @madisonrobes35]

@rucatbahamondes Appropriateness is starting to be taken into consideration more now than ever when it comes to posting online. Inappropriate posts could be used against you, even in the work field when searching for a job. Being conscious of what you most is really important in the digital age.
