Hi Shuyue! Great Post! I believe this technology is a disruptive innovation. I definitely think that in the future everyone will have a pair of these glasses or maybe a pair of contacts that do this for you. Wearables have become such a big part of our current culture. A lot of people are monitoring their health through Fitbits and other wearable…[Read more]

Hi Michael! Awesome post, great question posed. I think that this will effect consumer spending, causing customer to leave their homes less and less. Pizza Hut is taking a risk by implementing technology that is not commonly used. If I were Pizza Hut I would wait till the technology is common and then invest them, however this risk might put Pizza…[Read more]

Hi Noah! Great post, this really makes me think of the first episode of Black Mirror, the futuristic show, when they get their food from a vending machine. He gets an apple from the machine and says it is probably the realest thing that you can eat, and even that was made from a petrie dish. As far as an answer to your question, I personally…[Read more]

Hi Kayla,
Great post! I personally think she creeps me out, but then again I could not afford her even if I wanted her. This is my biggest fear, that technology will disconnect people from reality so fully that they will rely on robots for human connection/intimacy and lose themselves. I don’t really see the violence aspect of it, but I do think…[Read more] -

Hi Mike,
Great post! I think this is innovation and technology at its best. This technology can single handedly defy/destroy language barriers and unite countries across seas. I think that this technology will encourage individuals to travel and enjoy different culture without worrying that they will be lost or shamed for not knowing the…[Read more] -

Hi Jane,
Great post! I think that this technology could cause security issues if it is used or monitored without a person’s knowledge. I think that it is an efficient way to track things, such as keys or your phone but I do not think it is an efficient device to track people. What if the device is placed on a child’s shoe and they take off their…[Read more] -

Hi Ajah,
Awesome post as always! Big Brother is watching, literally. I think that privacy issues are a huge concern with this technology. What if the wrong person is caught, investigated, and charge based on facial recognition? How expensive is this technology? Do tax payers want to have their money used on technology that will spy on them? What…[Read more] -

Hi Ajah,
Awesome post! This is an awesome idea and will be super effective/convenient if the right legislative is put in place to help monitor and regulate the taxis like Alisa brought up. If these taxis are not encumbering on any air rights violations, then this could be a fun efficient way to from place to another. My question is whether…[Read more]

Hi Jacob,
Great post! I think that Tristan sheds light on an issue that is not getting enough attention. Technology constantly morphs our reality and forces our attention onto whatever new propaganda is expensive or popular. I think technology should be more focused on bringing people together instead of keeping them apart. One of the new…[Read more]

Hi Claudine,
I enjoyed this summary on VR. In my opinion, VR can be used leisurely as an enjoyable experience, but can also be very beneficial as you stated, for example rehabilitation purposes. I wouldn’t say that technology is morphing our existence too much, as long as it is done at a moderate pace. There is no doubt that technology is changing our lives, and everything has its limitations. I believe if we gradually transition into these new changes instead of transitioning too quickly, we will be able to appreciate the benefits of the advancements in technology without feeling like it is shifting our ‘human existence’.

I think the VR is still in the beginning level, it does able to do some training, like driver’s rood training. Meanwhile, the VR required a host (Sony PlayStation or PC) to run programs. And the VR glass is too big and uncomfortable that people cannot use as convenient as normal glass. in addition, VR is not accurate, users have to coordinate position manually, like Sony PlayStation. Therefore, The VR systems need to be progressing in industrial designing and software. I think the VR has a big future in entertainments, architecture, psychology and so on.

Hi, Claudine
I am so excited about how VR be able to change our lives, and I agree that VR can be limitless.
VR can combine other existing software and be very powerful. For example, If google maps can combine VR in, we can travel/see all around the world without actual go out.
Besides entertainment, VR can also improve the efficiency of education, meeting, etc. People can take foreign countries classes without physically go there. People can also use VR to do group meeting or project meeting by seeing each others’ digital living images instead of Webex/ skype.
On the other hand, the world of VR has potential to island people because people may become more addictive to the digital world without all of these going out with friends and families. The question is how can we keep a right balance. -
I agree with Claudine’s initial post and the comments above. I agree that Virtual Reality is a technology that has key benefits that improve life as we can see with all the examples stated as VR has played a key role in impacting different aspects of life. I find VR very interesting because as a sports fan I’ve noticed professional sports teams are using it more frequently especially with their recruitment process of players. Recently, the Chicago Cubs tried to sign a player coming over from Japan, and the player not knowing anything about the American or Chicago lifestyle they used VR to show him how he would settle in the city. They gave him a tour of the city, stadium, and basically how his life would be as a member of the team and city. I believe this is a great example of how VR can change reality for a moment and improve life to particular individuals.

Hi Claudine,
I think VR is going to be the future in both entertainment and in finding the ways to better the lives of individuals. During a meeting I attended last year with the SVP of Business Technology at Pfizer, Jeff Hamilton, he was saying how VR is the playing a huge role in a lot of the projects Pfizer has/will been working on. His examples included retrain a patients body’s natural mobility and dealing with kinds of therapy. I agree that Virtual Reality has many key benefits that can improve life especially those that deal with the disabled such as example you stated dealing with blindness. I do though can see technology morphing our existence, this mainly being seen in the entertainment industry. I can see it taking us further from actual human interactions and having us desensitized to the real world.

I agree with you. Time management can be a very important skill. During a semester balancing AIS, classes, work, and a social life can be very challenging. I am glad that you have mastered such an important skill.

One possibility of where McDonald’s has gone wrong is the change management strategy. They need to work with employers so they are able to see why the change is necessary and how it helps them and the customers so they get on board. Ordering is probably slow because employees are not taking the time to understand and work with the kiosks. Automation is a helpful thing, but it needs to be understood by the company and the employees (especially when employees are working with it) for it to work.
