I have been using “Waze,” navigation system for about two years, and I find it most accurate when it comes to tracking accidents, and traffic. I think Microsoft use of Azure cloud-computing platform would definitely be accurate, because all we are doing is tracking traffic behavior on a daily basis. Accidents are bound to happen, but the…[Read more]

This is an amazing read considering we having talking about disruptive innovation for a couple of weeks. Uber has done it again, but this time it has targeted a bigger market i.e. India that is the second largest country in the world, and people in New Delhi are highly dependent upon on Auto Rickshaw due to connivence and price. This is a good…[Read more]

Even though there has been significant shift in people choosing internet over TV. I would not completely right off cable companies yet. But it would definitely take a series of innovative ideas that would interest audiences, but as mentioned in the article other than Dish Network there is no real competition for Apple.

The best way to survive a major disruption is to become a part of it. Tidal is a definitely a strategic step to compete with Spotify, Pandora and other music services. I personally think Tidal would overtake other services due to several reasons, first it has support of big names in the entertainment industry which adds credibility, second the…[Read more]

Thanks for this article. It is interesting that now we are very close to the future I thought about 20 years ago where robots can help human being in many different ways. Obviously, there will be two side of responses from robot with personality. Some may argue it might be too dangerous since robot is a machine. It has no brain to think and process. However, I m the opposite side person. I believe this is the first step for robotic industry to advance more.
I want the happy robot. -
I found this article interesting since there are so many Hollywood blockbusters that deal with artificial intelligence such as I Robot and the Transformers series. There are many benefits to creating a robot armies with different personalities and characteristics. For one, since they have different thought patterns, they can find various ways to get tasks done and support the daily life of the human. It also provides another person with analysis skills to approach a circumstance. The fears I have with this are the major risks. If a human is cruel to his robot workers, they may turn on that individual. Also, what if some personalities clash with others? This may hurt the quality of the work that the robots do. Overall interesting article.
-
This was a very interesting read but at the same time it is a little scary that we are so close to making robots readily available to consumers. I’m not sure I would be ok at first with this idea. I would be very skeptical at first, coming from a technology background, I would be constantly thinking of what if there was a bug in the software and mad the robot crazy. What happens when these robots develop personalities of being rude, or even being crazy? What happens when the owner yells at his robot and the robot decides to attach their owner? Personally I would rather have a robot that has no personality, I would only want one that listens to what I say and that’s all.
-
I am actually pretty comfortable with AI and human-like robots. Although, there will probably be bugs and glitches in early development, robots with personality and intelligence are the future. The one question I have is, if you give a robot a personality and intelligence, what makes them not human? Although early AI will probably be owned, there will probably come a time where they will be able interact with humans independently. At this point, shouldn’t they have the right to be angry or have opinions?

This was an interesting article as we have at least once been to a an unproductive meeting in past. I rate quality over quantity, and by having 15 minute meeting session would be more productive. Removing cell phones from the meetings would make meetings distraction free, and more definitely more engaging.

I actually read something that was very similar to this. This technology is amazing and has groundbreaking potential. Being able to use electric currents to generate battery life will have a major impact on all of our lives. I’m interested to see how this all pans out. I know that cell phone companies have a good source of revenue coming from battery accessory sales like chargers and cases that have the ability to charge your phone. I wonder if this is something that cellphone companies will easily adopt or aggressively push back.
-
This technology, if it were commercialized, would drastically change the current market for cell phone manufactures and phone accessory companies. Companies such as apple make a ton of money on making a cable that only their phones can use and patenting the technology, forcing customers to buy their cables with incredibly high profit margins. Not to mention this technology would completely disruptive a lot of accessory companies that make portable batteries or battery cases. This technology would definitely be a disruptive technology to cell phone manufacturers and they should monitor this technology carefully.
-
Nish, this is very interesting especially as you start to analyze it in a disruptive innovation sense. Is this a new market innovation or a low end innovation? Or is it neither? Is it a sustaining innovation instead? What technology is it disrupting? Surely it is disrupting the battery industry but is it making the device the battery is used in-the cellphone-easier to use? I would say yes, though it isn’t, I don’t think, making it more accessible to people. Unless this technology is making cellphones more affordable, I don’t think it’s a low end innovation. Also, until this technology allows for complete removal of physical connection to a power supply, I don’t think it is new market innovation.I think it is a sustaining innovation, instead. I think it is making an improvement on a technology by an incumbent that is a mere upgrade from what users already hold in their hands. What do you think? Very interesting topic, though!

It is definitely too early to mark Apple Pay as a failed innovation. At its core Apple Pay was not that innovative of a concept. Android devices have had the capability on earlier models a decent amount of time. Apple Pay improved upon the concept and expected the hype of the innovation to lead to its success but people are not ready for that. I’ve discussed this concept with colleagues and the general consensus is that there are just too many unknowns with the pay methodology. Many believe it is unsecure or worry about what will happen when they lose their devices (which can happen often). I think smart money is definitely something that will not REALLY take off until the younger generations have grown. With the exception of the tech savvy, I do not see a high adoption rate in the transaction method occurring for older populations. The key will be to continue to perfect the model and spread knowledge about how it really works.
-
I agree that it is definitely too early to say this a failed innovation. I think that consumers don’t truly know how or where to use the product; as well retailers aren’t providing instructions to their employees to promote the feature. Once stores begin to promote the service I think there will be a spike in customers using the service. I’m not sure if we will see the physical dollar disappear anytime soon. Many people need that physical assurance that they have the money. Switching to a total electric currency will scare many people and we would see a lot of push back from people not willing to change.
-
I also think it is way to early to denounce Apple Pay as a failure. The main reason I feel that the service is off to such a slow start is that it is only compatible with the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models. Many consumers are still under contract with earlier models of the Apple iPhones and haven’t had the opportunity to commit to Apple Pay because of this. Also Google Wallet is already very big and there is a similar service launching soon called CurrentC. Google Wallet is also a major reason for the slow success for Apple Pay because there are many more Android phone models that have the service. With all of this being said, I believe Apple Pay has a promising future. For one, major retailers such as McDonald’s, WalGreens, and Whole Foods have partnered with Apple Pay. Starbucks also reported that 15% of the businesses transactions now come through mobile applications. Lastly, Apple Pay will soon take on an e-commerce feature at Panera Bread and consumers will be able to order ahead of time and pay within the time. This will eliminate swiping and bills; everything will be integrated.
-
Apple Pay may simply be ahead of its time. In a time where data breaches occur almost everyday, there are definitely concerns about completely visualizing commerce. I do agree that soon more and more people,will be using services such as Apple Pay and Google Wallet, but the numbers won’t flood in, it will probably be a trickle. Until the virtual wallet becomes more main stream, I will probably stick to paper and plastic money.

Pushpinder S. Multani wrote a new post on the site MIS4596 Section 2 Spring 2015 9 years, 7 months ago
Over the past week several classmates have posted articles about products and services demonstrating disruptive innovation. From driver less cars to many devices aimed at making our lives easier there has been record participation this week, but out of the all the articles the one article that struck my attention the most was the an article titled ” Catalytic innovation” posted by Paula Kozak. The article talked about the need to create products and services that would change the physical lives of the people. Nano technology is been looked at the next big thing in the medical field. The article and videos posted on the topic ” DNA NanoBots” provides an excellent information about the use of a Nanobot to treat Leukemia. The patient will be given a injection filled with the nanobot which would kill the cancer cells upon the interaction. Without the injection the patient is expected to die within a month, but the successful removal in animal trail within a month has resulted in enough confidence in the procedure. This could be the most successful treatment of cancer so far, and is looked as a major break through in the cancer treatment. Researchers also the successful completion of this experiment would open doors for treating more severe types of cancers.
Question : What role can technology giants like Apple, Samsung, and Microsoft play in creating products aimed directly at improving the lives of people over making entertaining products ?

I think this is just the beginning for 3-D printing. I have read previously that in as little as 5-10 years, 3-D printers will have the ability to print organs. With this technology’s ability to create advanced objects such as kidneys or limbs for people in need, who knows what else — good or bad– 3-D printers can produce.
If 3D printing can accomplish something as complex as a battery powered rocket engine, and eventually organs as Elizabeth mentioned, there really is no telling how far it can go. They will eventually be able to print anything from toys, to weapons, furniture and so on.
