In the comment below, propose the tech briefing you want to present.
THANKS for your comments. I will go through them and your proposal to create a spreadsheet that I will share with you. In the meantime, you can comment on others' ideas, as will I. I will also post articles that I think will help some topics and inform others.
Tesla hacking
ReplyDeleteworking with Cosme Morga
DeleteMy understanding is that you want to show how hackers use an open source browser framework Webkit to send emails to Tesla’s customers portraying that they’re from Tesla and send a bug allowing them to run malicious code from their crafted website. That is a great topic, but also say how Tesla has responded to this hack (which they have).
DeleteThe Decline of Physical Media:
ReplyDeleteStreaming and the capability for modern tech to handle massive downloads has already begun to kill physical media. Netflix has nearly single-handedly done this to the movie industry while Spotify and friends do the same to music. Even many video games can be downloaded directly to the console. There is very little need to physically own media anymore but this raises its own set of problems. One may have all the music in the world on their spotify account but they own none of it. The modes of access can be made more expensive or changed at the will of the provider. This ties in with SaaS as well where true licenses are becoming rarer.

ReplyDeleteIBM Tealeaf
ReplyDeleteTealeaf is a company now owned by IBM that captures customers interaction with a website by recording the customers movements online. Tealeaf is utilized to replay and analyze details of visits that will provide information to help detect errors or issues with a business process specifically with online purchases. This is a tool to look at specific customers that use a website or mobile app and track all of their moves throughout the website such as why some customers leave an online purchase early due to invalid promotion codes or other issues. You are able to view custom dashboards and understand customer trends on a more detailed level. This is yet another technology that is tracking your every move to collect important data.
DeleteWill Autonomous Cars Kill Industries?
ReplyDeleteIn this talk I want to explore the impact that self-driving vehicles will have on our society once they have been adopted into society as the majority norm. once the switch happens, will auto companies who can’t produce these types of cars be bought out or shut down? Will driver’s licenses be obsolete, and with it the DMV because the internet and the cloud will do all the driving? Will insurance be replaced by warranties and crash the entire insurance industry due to less accidents? Will this be the way taxi companies make a comeback to fight against Uber? If malicious crackers crash the system will the society of that time be stranded with no knowledge of how to manually drive and automobile?

ReplyDeleteSecurity in Regard to the Internet of Things
Last semester, I did quite a bit of research on the DDoS attack launched against Dyn, which was conducted by using devices that are part of the internet of things. Many manufacturers put default username and passwords on these devices, which make them very easy to hack. This could lead to even bigger problems in the future. Furthermore, as devices become smarter and more linked, the prospect of them being hacked becomes more dangerous. As we progress toward a world with driverless vehicles that are part of the IoT, the question of security is pretty pressing. Therefore, I’d like to see what measures are being taken, or could be implemented, to ensure these devices remain secure.
I am interested in music and the industry in general and how technology has changed how artists sell their music. I think it would be interesting to see the difference in how much an artist makes on different platforms and how reaching platinum status on a song or album has changing with the influx of technology. I'd also like to discuss why artists would chose one platform over another. History of technology in music has changed a lot and a small lesson of how revenue generation has changed with technology would be given.
ReplyDeleteCompared to other artist, how did Drake made so much money in the past two years.
DeleteI will be talking about the role of robotics in the field of medicine.
ReplyDeleteI would like to do the Tesla hyperloop. I am very intrigued in transportation and I think hyperloop could be the future of transportation. Our world is becoming more and more fast paced and I think being able to travel from place to place very fast could benefit everyone.
ReplyDeleteElon Musk and SpaceX’s Journey to Mars
ReplyDeleteHealth and safety issues with Virtual Reality.
ReplyDeleteLi-Fi
ReplyDeleteLi-Fi is a type of wireless communication, similar to Wi-Fi. The main differences between the two are the method of communication and security. Li-Fi, unlike Wi-Fi communicates using bidirectional visible light. It can literally send data at the speed of light. Pretty cool. This method of communication hints at the ability to raise bandwidth limitations of Wi-Fi that are restricted by radio frequency. The second key benefit of Li-Fi is security. Since transmissions are sent through light, they are confined to the rooms that they are hosted in. For these reasons, among others, Li-Fi would be an interesting topic to learn and teach.
For my tech briefing, I would like to present on technology behaviors and the effect on our mental health. In my experience, I have noticed a lack of focus on tasks like homework, or reading, immediately following a long period of being on my phone scrolling through Instagram posts. This must be an even bigger problem with younger kids. From the park to classroom to the kitchen table, young kids everywhere always have iPads and iPhones. Why have parents resorted to this option to entertain their kids? Is there a long run effect? Will the next generation of parents be better? I think this would be a great topic to dive deeper into.
ReplyDeletegreat topic!
DeleteAmong all the topics I read here, this one is the most interesting one.
DeleteI have a reading from the first chapter of Turkle, but there is other good research on this I'll pass along.
DeleteThat would be much appreciated!
DeleteRussian hacking in US and other elections
ReplyDeleteThis subject is really interesting!! It would be nice to hear about the difference between those actions, and other actions by foreign countries such as donating a great amount of money for presidents elections.
DeleteThe internet of things is simply taking network connectivity, and shoving it in things that don’t normally have it. Put internet in your hot tub so you can fill it before you get home. Put internet on your coffee maker, hook it up to your phone alarm, and have coffee made at the precise moment the alarm goes off. Almost anything can be hooked up to a wireless network, be given an IP Address, and connect to the outside world. This can create great convenience to everyone around the world. The main player in this game is IBM, who has created Watson IoT. Their goal is to normalize all of things connected to the IoT, create massive data sets for their AI Watson to run through, and then have information be sent back to the devices or the user, which can hopefully improve their efficiency over time. We are interested in this as soon, almost everything anyone owns will be hooked up to the internet. We want to understand the technology, and be at the forefront of it so we can help develop for it and help businesses to use it.
ReplyDeleteWOW, this is very interesting? would love to hear more!
DeleteYes, the hype around IoT is pretty extensive. Since there are two of you, one can explain what IoT it is and how it works, and the other could address how long it will be before it becomes part of every household. (Adding in the controversy.)
DeleteCommunicating Data (Data-Driven Storytelling)
ReplyDeleteI will be focusing on VR in social media and Facebook's purchase of OR.
ReplyDeleteTrusting other concerns with app like Uber
ReplyDeleteAutonomous cars and their effect on cities (with Nicole Sale)
ReplyDeleteAutonomous cars have the potential to enliminate any ownership of cars in large cities. Our tech briefing will focus on the potential effects of autonomous cars in cities.
The technology's influences on our traditional reading skills. More in-depth into researches about potential alterations of our mental habits and cognition ability by new technologies.
ReplyDeleteI am interested in discussing VR technology in the entertainment industry. More specifically, how VR technology will change how we watch sports in home.
ReplyDeleteI'm also very interested to see what you have to say about this Cole.
DeleteIn the write-up Ben was going to work with Cole. Is that no longer the case? That is fine, but Ben said "we" in his comment, so thought it was Cole. Yes or no?
DeleteI would like to discuss the cloud computing industry and its growth. Cloud computing is a rapidly growing sector that is paving the way for future technology and business. I plan to discuss why this is and where cloud computing is headed.
ReplyDeleteExplore current drone technologies/explain how I work with them.
ReplyDeleteI will be focusing on reasons why artists such as Kodak Black, chose specific platforms to release their music and how each platform such as Soundcloud, AppleMusic and Spotify make a profit doing so.
ReplyDeletePrivacy has been a major issue in our society especially with the rapid advance of technology. The government wants to be able to protect their citizens from any radicalized ideas through the Internet that would cause harm to the society, or from any communication between individuals to commit a terror attacks. Sometimes, the government goes beyond the limits, and they violate the individual’s privacy, which is against the constitution that protects the people and their right of privacy from being violated.
ReplyDeleteAll of this is true, Faris, but I'm not sure what you are proposing to do. Do you want to reveal what the government is doing post Snowden?
DeleteYes, I want to cover the issue of Edward Snowden and what the government is doing!
DeleteI would like to present about Airbnb and their struggle with racism.
ReplyDeleteWe would like to present on Artificial Intelligence/Robots
ReplyDeleteJake, I saw your blog, and there is another student presenting on AlphaGo (I think). Could you two inform the class on the differences between AI, machine learning, and deep learning? Here is the link you cited on your blog as a good starting place.
DeleteThe development and the future of AI.
ReplyDeleteJingnan, I suggest you focus on Google’s robot AlphaGo and its chess playing "skills." You can say a bit about where AI is going in the future, but want to keep it brief for the talk (and elaborated on the blog). Ok?
DeleteI would like to learn about the Microsoft HoloLens. I first saw this product at the Arizona Hackathon, and it really stood out to me. I do not know much information about it or augmented reality in general. That is why I would love to learn about it and then share my findings with the rest of the class.
ReplyDeleteThe disruptive technology that I want to present on is self-driving cars. I would love to research and teach the class on this, as I follow their development closely. Self-driving cars share a lot of potential topics and issues with IoT, as they are included in the Internet of Things. Other issues could be how secure these devices need to be in the cyber sense, so that hackers cannot hijack a self-driving car, for example. Another example of this issue is if you will need a password or fingerprint to start your car in the future, as opposed to a physical key?
