Machine learning is present in this episode from the very beginning. The way the service learns from Ash’s old text messages is the biggest example. Taking in information to piece together a personality and speech pattern isn’t something that’s necessarily out of our grasp in the present. I think the powerful climax of the episode is an…[Read more]

Honestly I think one of the most overlooked disruptive innovations is the invention of Uber. Taxi companies were absolutely gutted when Uber started gaining traction. So much so even that it was banned in Philadelphia because the PPA couldn’t compete! You can summon a (relatively) safe ride to any location at any time of the day and go anywhere…[Read more]

Refining is a dangerous business, but collecting accurate data on…[Read more]

I am currently an MIS major working in the IT department of a construction company. At work, we have many processes outlined on our company intranet that follow the exact diagram of the swimlane diagrams we went over in class. I think these diagrams are the more helpful of the two, as they more directly state the responsibilities or tasks of…[Read more]

I originally started my degree at Temple University in the Mechanical Engineering program. I switched to MIS just this semester, after obtaining an internship at an oil refinery doing IT work. I found myself more interested in the computer side of things than the actual piping and heavy machinery. I switched to MIS to give me a strong foundation…[Read more]

Interests
Engineering: Ever since I was young I’ve had a fascination with taking things apart and putting them back together to understand how they work. This hobby carried me far in high school as part of our […]

Information Systems in Organizations
This was my first true MIS class. This class helped me feel confident in my decision to transfer majors in the MIS department. I learned what was expected of me as both an […] -

the summer, and a part-time intern during the school year. During my time with Nooter, I have worked
at both […] -
