Thank you so much for such a great semester, Professor McCormick. I really enjoyed all the materials from this course and also the process of doing research for the emerging technologies. #DCIM353McCormick
My biggest takeaway from this course is the difference between sustaining innovations and disruptive innovations. And I also learned how to evaluate whether an invention is disruptive, which is useful when I consider about any new technology in the future.

@itstarana Hi Tarana, I agree with you that facial recognition technology is being more widely used in all aspects of society and its future development is promising. My only concern about it is the the privacy issues, and there should be more laws governing its use. #DCIM353McCormick
@janehayoungkang Hi Jane, I can’t agree you more on the future of esports. This is a new and booming industry, and more and more people around me are staring to attention to it. I believe there will be more esports professionals in the future. #DCIM353McCormick
@mjbathan_ Hi MJ, I agree with you that social media education is becoming more and more important for children. We are always hearing about examples of inappropriate use of social media, so schools and teachers should give them more guidance in this regard. #DCIM353McCormick
Prediction: More technology will merge into video conferencing, such as augmented reality. They provide people a better experience of online education and remote work. #DCIM353McCormick
@seanbollandd @Audi@Porsche@elonmusk@GM Hi Sean, I'm really interested in the topic of electric automobiles since I'm thinking about getting one this year or later. And I'm also curious about if it can completely replace the conventional gasoline power. I hope to learn more from your final results!
@gb_runb I'm so curious about how does Clubhouse get virus since now it seems to be what everyone is talking about. I believe that it is a combination of many aspects of factors that have made it so popular in such a short time. Looking forward to your work!
@Christo66898027 I believe that VR is a good choice for this project since it's really a compelling emerging technology and most of us know at least something about it. While most of my current experience with VR is for entertainment purposes, I hope to learn more of it from your project!
3D printing is also controversial because of the intellectual property issues it might involved, and the restrictions of equipment and materials. There is still no answer that whether 3D printing could finally become a disruptive tech, but it has a great potential on it. [3]
#DCIM353McCormick For the EDTP project, I'm going to research the development and use of 3D printing and its impact on our society. 3D printing has already been applied in a wide range of fields. It can be used to create almost any object we can see in our daily life. [1]
3D printing is now mainly used for small-scale manufacturing, especially for highly personalized products. At present, it is mainly involved in vehicle parts manufacturing, industrial design, dentistry and medical treatment, and accessories. [2]
@ireneli180 Hi Irene, I totally agree with you that online dating has become a new trend these years. But the concern here is whether online dating will diminish people‘s ability to deal with romantic relationships in real life setting, just like the impact of tech on other relationships.
@MariaEs37781200 Social media and hashtags like #MeToo have given women and any minority groups greater support to speak out about their experiences. That's I believe one of the biggest benefits of social media since it allows anyone's voice to be heard by the public.
The increasing popularity of the Internet among the elderly has completely changed the way they get information and the way of leisure. Also, it changes the way the young generation communicates with the old and the possible problems within family relationships.
#DCIM353McCormick Social media used to be considered only for the young, but now more and more elders became the users social networks. According to the report from Pew Research Center, elders spend more time in front of screens than they did a decade ago.https://t.co/9NyZ9K5jgB
@sclafani_v I really love the idea about putting pronouns into bios. Gender is far more complex than simply separating men and women. Allowing to provide one's pronoun shows great respect for people of all kinds of gender identity, and it's also a way of protection.
@DinaijahG@KingJames I didn't know much about sports stars before, but I believe their efforts on charities are quite influential since they have a large scale fan base. #LIDCF20_01
Beyoncé is an excellent example as a leader. She is a singer and a record producer. Her other achievements includes Beygood Foundation, which supports relief efforts around the world. Also, Beyoncé has been very vocal for the BLM Movement.
