Apple Credit seems to be a popular release by the company. Apple is already has some of the most secure devices and software in the world. Therefore, launching a credit card service provides them the appropriate credibility.

This is a really interesting concept to remove travel time. It is, however, very expensive, even for the wealthy. From personal experience, I never drive to New York nor do I ever take a taxi in the city. I alway take a bus there and then walk wherever I want to go. Obviously, it is not feasible to walk to every place in New York is it is such a…[Read more]

This is no doubt the future of cities. I only worry about the potential for misuse and breach of data on such a massive scale. By involving technology more and more in our daily lives to the point where everything around us collects data on us just adds more points of vulnerability for potential hacks. Legislation is going to need to be put in place that properly manages the transformation technology will provide to our urban landscape. People are also going to need to decide if they are comfortable with living in an environment with little to no privacy. I am curious to see how this evolves over time.

I am curious as to the legal ramifications of the this Google City; While the city would have exciting and innovative features being completely immersed in technology, I can’t help but wonder how Google will deal with privacy issues. I feel as though every interaction in the city would be monitored and collected for data; is this something that we are going to have to accept, or will it come with controversy?

The world moves too fast for this sort planning. It’s been tried over and over again. Railroads didn’t plan for airlines. Kodak didn’t plan for digital cameras. TV networks didn’t plan for cable which didn’t plan for streaming. Nokia didn’t plan for Blackberry which didn’t plan for iPhones. And 20 years ago nobody planned for Google. Department stores didn’t plan for malls which didn’t plan for Amazon. All of the failures were run by smart people easily equal to the the naive planners at Google. It is conceit to believe you can plan the lives of others on such a vast scale.

Apple has started a trend of high-priced smartphones that most of the other major players are adopting, This has led to a dip in consumer purchases. Furthermore, I also agree the a lack in innovation has also deterred many consumers from trading in old devices or purchasing new ones. However, smartphones continue to be the most popular technology…[Read more]

I agree that there is a possibility that humans become over-reliant on a technology such as autonomous vehicles. I also believe that we are very far from having an acceptable version of this vehicle as there are far too many variables when it comes driving that cannot be completely autonomously. There is the human reaction aspect that technology…[Read more]

One take away from this course is that data is every where and very important. Most companies have an assortment of data but do not know what to do with it. Learning how to analyze and make use of the data can be very beneficial for a student’s future and a company’s future.

I believe the most important principle is to “Simplify.” Modern design is all about simplicity. With data visualization, you are going to have a variety of data that will be inter-related; however, you must be able to discern the most important and presentable data from the not so important and focus-oriented data. Afterwards, when presenting the…[Read more]

The most important takeaway from Maurice’s speech is how integral data is in any working environment.

I think Genetic Fortune Telling will be a promising venture. Whenever I think of genetics, it reminds me of the film, Gattaca. Gattaca is about a society where scientists can genetically modify a child to be born with the parents’ best hereditary features. This lead those children gain the best phenotypes and to be less susceptible to diseases. This will be the future, however, I have no idea if it would be our lifetime. Genetics holds powerful data we can use to change the pharmaceutical and medical industry as a whole.
