Nina M Sjostrom commented on the post, Can AI replace musicians?, on the site MIS4596 Sec 001 Fall 2018 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Hi Caroline,
Thank you for posting such an interesting topic for our class and added an actual sample of the topic. The idea that music can be created by a computer without any actual instruments, in my opinion, kind of defeats the whole purpose of the instrument. Having grown up playing the violin throughout my entire elementary, middle, and…[Read more] -

Zoe,
First off, thank you for the interesting article. I found this relevant because, as I can imagine, everyone in our class either has snapchat or has had it at one point in time. I personally really enjoy Snapchat and find it to be my favorite form of social media; therefore I wont be deleting it anytime soon. I do, however, understand why…[Read more] -

Hi Rebecca,
I honestly think this is a great idea! I know personally I get very anxious being in the grocery store for too long because there are so many people around me constantly moving, searching, talking, and what not. Sometimes when I am shopping I can’t even do a full grocery haul because I just can’t handle the disorganization and…[Read more]

Amy Winehouse’s comeback tour has been scheduled to begin in “late 2019.” What is most interesting about this comeback tour is that Winehouse passed away in 2011; so, the singer will be performing as a holog […]

Franics,
This is probably the creepiest thing I have ever read on the community site. We always hear about “fake news” in our society today, especially with all of the “news sources” on Facebook that are constantly throwing their version of information in everyone’s face; but this truly takes the cake. Who knows how long this has even been going…[Read more] -

I really like the 6 key elements for managing these potential technology disruptions. To answer your first question, I believe that technology playing a larger role in “regular business” doesn’t necessarily change the idea of what business issues are at the core. I believe that these same tactics to tackle technology disruptions can be used for any other issues that these businesses face today and in the past. Although technology does create more efficient and effective ways to perform in business (whether it be in operations, finance, or marketing), it still simply creates an urgency to implement the best system and compete with others in the same market. It is something that may take a little longer to understand how to use, but the purpose and strategy of preventing issues is still the same.

These two Steve Jobs videos were such an interesting experience. The first thing I noticed after watching the two videos was my own reaction as an Apple user. I have a Macbook Air and an iPhone 8 plus; but, when I was watching his presentation style as explained in the first video, I could feel the excitement that Steve’s audience was feeling that…[Read more]

(1) A possible business question that can be answered through a decision tree could be whether a company wants to expand by opening up a new business location. The predictor variables that I think would be needed are: how is the economy looking for the location you are interested in (that city perhaps), population in the location in which your…[Read more]

Something that I like to splurge on is make up; so when I started spending more money on it, I decided to become a member at Ulta. By doing this, I got a membership card that I would get scanned every time I made a purchase and it would track what I would buy and accumulate points. This would in turn then give me personalized coupons. Once I…[Read more]

That will be an amazing experience.Why should the concerts stop if a singer passes away. The musician legends can always live on such as Micheal Jackson, Selena, and Elvis Presley. In addition, during the concert there will be no need for intermissions and breaks. Personally, I’m not sure if I would pay money for a hologram concert because when I go to a concert I want to see the physical singer and not a projection. I see holograms being used regularly in the future, and even now it is becoming common. I was recently on a trip to Universal Studios Orlando, and saw holograms being used on the Harry Potter rides. It was incredible seeing the characters as if they were real. Before entering the ride, people were shown a holographic projection of Bill Weasley’s office, where 2 characters interacted with each other in what seemed like a real office with physical items, but it was all an illusion.
Hi Nina,
This was such an interesting read and I truly cannot believe that we live in a world where this is a possibility. While I personally liked Amy Winehouse’s music, I do not think I would want her (or any other artist) to become a hologram once they die and continue to tour. I like that the money would benefit a great cause, but it just wouldn’t be the same for me. I think a lot of people like to go to concerts because you get to see the artist and a different side to them, and even if you see them multiple times, each show is never the same. With a hologram, every show would probably be exactly the same and there would be no special energy because the actual artist isn’t alive. I have never seen a hologram in real life, so maybe once I do, I might change my opinion!
