I think this is an interesting move for Instagram. As they are part of the same company, they have recently mastered the e-commerce aspect of tech with the FB Marketplace. I think this is a good move considering Instagram’s main audience is young adults, and many fashion related pages are very popular on the site. This could be great for the…[Read more]

This looks so cool! It will be interesting to see how VR really transform so many different industries and in many different ways. I think the applications in healthcare are most exciting to me, as it would be using technology to truly help improve peoples lives.

This is so interesting! I honestly would have thought that finances would be the last place to implement a technology such as AR. It is definitely a great step for them, and I think if done well it could be very successful. People often comment and complain that banking or interacting with banks is a tedious and time consuming process. There is so…[Read more]

This is so interesting! I had no idea how much energy was lost with the way solar panels currently are. I think it would be amazing to see this better solution implemented in a large way. I think that cost will definitely be a big factor. They will need to find a way to lower the cost in order to make this accessible to an every day person. Solar…[Read more]

This is such a great application of blockchain technology! Often times this word is thrown around by people who don’t really understand what it means. I think this has caused people to think that you can use blockchain to do almost everything. While this of course isn’t the case, healthcare is a really great practical application. If any doctor…[Read more]

While many believe that brick-and-mortar retail is being taken over by the online shopping market, in-store retailers have a prime opportunity to distinguish themselves by leveraging technology in their stores. […]

I feel that instore retail has a big opportunity to make a comeback. The argument that online products are cheaper is not very persuasive anymore. Many sellers are taking advantages of the unwillingness of customers to leave their houses to increase the price to surpass in-store products. I agree with this blog about how technology can play a big role in this reversal. Stores can use technology like how Amazon Go stores had captivate their customers. They use hundreds of cameras, weight sensing technology, and QR codes to accurately track customer’s purchases. The customers do not need to wait in line, which is one of the drawbacks to in-store shopping, as the technologies used have accurately track and bill their purchases. The WIFI and RFID can be used to achieve a similar function as Amazon Go store to bring back customers with novelty and efficiency.

I think it’s an exciting time for retailers to rethink the retail process. Its time for retailers to break the mold and start captivating customers with an in store experience based on emerging technologies. Leveraging technologies like AR and VR, stores can begin to offer an exciting and and immersive shopping experience. IKEA is using AR to help you plan if furniture will fit in the space you have. This use of AR is decreasing product returns and helping customers get it right the first time. Retail is becoming stale but by applying creative technological solutions to enhance or retool your in store processes retail could become king again.

There has been so much innovation in term of online commerce in the last 20 years. Amazon has risen into the one-stop-shop for everything, and it is online. I like that the idea of brick-and-mortar shops are being developed along with eCommerce. There is still value in the physical store, as you can actually see and touch what you are buying. You can wear the clothes before purchasing them, and you can check the fruit and make sure that is the one you want. At the same time, there are some caveats to how the RFID and buyer behavior system is being implemented. I find it unsettling that all of my purchases are being monitored by the store, and my decisions are being alerted to workers. I like things best when I’m left alone. We shall see how this is used in the near future.

It truly is amazing how far technology has come to where robots are now able to play strategic games like Jenga or even Chess. Machine learning is something that will one day evolve around us and may become part of everyday life. For example, an automobile like the Tesla can detect and read the road and make thousands of adjustments every second for maximum occupant comfort. It does this with radars and uses the GPS to predict which type of roads (hill, curves) are upcoming. With all of this being said, I am happy I chose a major that is IT related when we are living in a quickly evolving IT world.
-
This topic is really interesting to me because normally you would not think about designing a robot to play games. I have heard of ones that solve medical problems, assist in manufacturing, and even in vacuums, but the fact that robots are now being designed to do other, less important tasks, means that they might have a more profound impact on our lives in the future. Ideas can flow freely now. Robots may be an important aspect in every part of our lives in the near future.
