The most important take away for me was learning how technology and data are related and becoming really important for the future.

To support that, he provides a display of the world with red dots in all different countries, which he says represents their markets. The blue dots on the presentation represent…[Read more]

This article is interesting because it talks about a mini robot (which is also affordable), that could potentially be the new children’s toy. The robot can give emotional engagement to communicate with the children which clearly shows the use of all…[Read more]
