Sung Sik Choi commented on the post, Almost 1 Million People Bought Apple Watches in 1 Day, on the site 9 years, 6 months ago
To me, it is surprising that Apple watch already sold one million. I still don’t see a reason or huge convenience of using apple watch. Apple has been a leader in innovation but apple watch isn’t that innovative to me. Samsung already released similar version of apple watch, Galaxy gear, an year before and it wasn’t that successful. I believe…[Read more]

Sung Sik Choi commented on the post, Artificial Intelligence not too far away , on the site 9 years, 6 months ago
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…[Read more]

So big data has already penetrated into almost every industry. Big data is used to analyze global problems such as weather, medical, business. Now, Microsoft is using it to predict traffic. The article I read explains how Microsoft is using mass amount of data on historical traffic map and also even driver’s social network to establish traffic map of 15-60 minutes later.
Google map is one of the most installed app in the World, however, it is often too late to show most current traffic on the map. Microsoft will be putting its Azure cloud-computing platform to the test for the project, which will be necessary for the immense processing power needed to crunch multiple terabytes of data. How accurate can this be?
-
I think that this data can be pretty accurate, it just depends on how much data they actually have and how the algorithm works. More often than not traffic has the same patterns every day. So in predicting work traffic I think the application will be very accurate and help drivers a lot. Using a lot data will help the platform determine when, why, and where the traffic happens often. By using all this data then can begin to create patterns and if there are so many patterns they can determine that it will just be a typical thing and happen often. So I do believe that this platform can work and will be a nice tool for drivers to have.
-
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 probability of having accident on a sunny day would be less than on snow day. By developing an appropriate algorithm and utilizing the data that is previously available, this can really help drivers.

I believe their expansion to US market will not be successful. Xiaomi will face major patent issue if it come to US. They even have lawsuit in India due to the patent issue. Getting into the US market will be the hardest part of their success. However, I believe they can target other countries where smartphone market is still growing. One way to…[Read more]

There has been a several articles about Apples new project called Titan in the past week. Articles was about electrical car project from Apple with self driving capability. Picture on the left side is what Apple’s next best thing should look like.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, signed off on a 1,000 person group, the WSJ reports, with Zadesky – who at one point worked at Ford before joining Apple in 1999, and who worked on mechanical design for numerous projects including iPod and iPhone – given free reign to borrow staff from elsewhere in the firm, as well as from outside.
Another automotive source said that Apple “is learning” how to make a self-driving electric car and “is gathering advice” from experts at carmakers and automotive suppliers on parts and production methods. The company isn’t interested in combustion engine technology or conventional manufacturing methods.
One thing is clear, if the claims are true: Apple isn’t taking the project lightly. The WSJ understands that ex-Ford engineer and veteran iPhone leader Steve Zadesky is heading up Titan. The Financial Times, meanwhile, has learned that Apple is recruiting loads of automotive experts, including former Mercedes-Benz research chief Joahann Jungwirth (who’s officially tasked with Mac Systems Engineering). The company may be talking to vehicle suppliers like Magna, too. It’s possible that there’s something less ambitious in the works or that the initiative will fall apart, but the sheer scale and focus suggests that Tesla could get stiff competition in its own back yard.
If we get to see this car in the market, who is liable when there is an accident? Apple or Driver?
Can we speed? Do we need training? Is it safer to drive my self or to put it in self driving mode?
Well ,we will learn the answers for it in the future

Talk about transformation! Going from Iphones to automobiles is a huge step and making a self-driving automobile is even bigger. I’ve also read a few articles relating to the topic of Apple transforming into an automobile company. Supposedly, it is a very feasible project because Apple has the resources, funds, and expertise to invest in this project. But, this is the first time I’ve heard about Apple creating a self-driving car. I can definitely foresee Apple becoming a successful car company. They have a lot of connections to the industry and are leaders in developing car-suited technology for its mobile devices. But, a self-driving car might be too advanced. I am not sure if I would like the idea because I would feel like I have absolutely no control. While a self-driving car can definitely be seen as a luxury, it is hard for me to believe that it wouldn’t also be a hazard. Apple is definitely a trustworthy company and completely focuses on the customer experience. Creating a self-driving car would probably be the ultimate customer experience, but in reference to liability and new-age technology it could still be a bit ahead of its time. In the future, however, it is interesting to see what Apple will do with Project Titan. But, at this moment in time I would much rather drive my car then have it drive me.

Thank you Sung for posting this article.
I have been experienced a lot of job interviews last semester and I realized that what recruiter really wants is not a technical skills but most likely they are asking me more about ability to perform my soft skills. And even in IT careers, they need a person who can able to communicate well among employees and customers. Obviously, this skill is not easy for us to improve on, but I strongly suggest for students that we should take the advantage of learning soft skills while we are at schools. We should notice that MIS program is one of the greatest business majors in Fox school, because they taught us how to able to improve on our soft skills. We learn how to manage skills in between IT and business and also they give us chance to consulting a real project. I strongly believe that all the MIS students are already ready to go out in a real world and do their best to reach the top.Thank you.

This was an excellent article for not just the information system students, but for every business major. We have been working really hard for the past four years, and developing analytical and technological skills. But there is still a need for us to develop mandatory soft sills such as being able to communicate efficiently and clearly.
For the past two semesters I have had the opportunity of being interviewed by many companies, and every time I asked them a follow up question, “what are you looking for in a candidate,” the response was similar. They were all looking for a candidate that is not just excellent in technical work but also able to comprehend business problem, and able to communicate solutions.

I recently read couple articles about Big Data. One article was about why big data is so important (http://harvardmagazine.com/2014/03/why-big-data-is-a-big-deal) and another article was about danger of big data (http://smartdatacollective.com/bernardmarr/146811/danger-3-reasons-be-scared-big-data)
Big data is the new hot topic in current time, I can find more big data articles than any other new technology many people talked about. Last year, cloud computing was big topic, but now I hear more about big data. Straight to the point, the reason why big data is so important is that human can visualize with mass data unlike computer. We can find patterns in data to solve a problem and be more creative, and this is very valuable for most of the businesses today. In other side, big data can be dangerous. First, having too much data might bring confusion for businesses. Information overload can make decision makers a hard time making decisions. Second, big data can lead to discrimination. In the article I read, it talks about possibility of health insurance company having customer data such as medical history and DNA information, and they can be used for discrimination among their customers. Lastly, big data might take away privacy from our life. What if one day companies like Google and Facebook turns evil? Imagine Hitler having all of the data during WWII.
Big data is very important technology we need to take care of for the future. Businesses and governments have to handle big data properly. Sometimes small data can be as just good as big data.

I found out this article is very interesting to me because I also realized that the big data is a big issue in most of the businesses today.
The business models are based off handling the big data such as customer information and other privacy documents for its own companies.
You mentioned that what if one day companies like Google and Facebook turns evil and using our own privacy data for their benefits. I always worry about the future because we are depending on the technologies too much and there are so much data sharing on online that is possibly risking our lives. It reminded me once again that we have to be prepared to handling the big data for the future.Thanks

Big Data is definitely a hot topic, and probably will be for a while. Big Data seems to fall into a grey zone of law. There are not many current regulations and companies can, for the most part, use data as they wish. Is it “evil” to use data to predict what people will do in their personal lives? I’m really not sure, but I am sure it can be profitable. Until regulations are put into place, I see Big Data as fair game.
If the data is already out there, is it invasion of privacy?

Thank you for sharing this article. I did not know that Uber is try to expand their business into India.
I believe that most of the companies try to expand their business into India because it is the third largest countries in the world and they see the vision in India markets. However, many of the companies turnout to be fail in business in India because they did not have enough of research or it just because of the cultures that they cannot implement into their own companies systems. Uberauto seems like they targeted specifically India market but I don’t think it is smart idea of their payment system. In order for Uber to success in India, they must know more about India cultures.
Moreover, Uber already banned in Delhi, India, because of the accident that damaged Uber’s image. [http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-30374070]. This article represent that the local government have so much power over the companies.
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 start for Uber considering the population of the country, but the only concern is the cash payment option, even though this might be convenient for Indian population, but it would open up doors for corruption as cash would be hard to track. Uber must develop alternative ways of payment tailored for countries that does not use credit card regularly.
