Your Tech Briefing Idea

I provided feedback on all of your tech briefings on D2L.  After you look at it, comment below on the tech idea you would like to do.

THANKS for your comments!  If there are any missing souls, there is still time to post a comment.  My plan is to post a spreadsheet with some detail; that way you know who is doing what and hopefully can help with them with links and ideas, too.  I will probably post topics that address some of your topics.  Others (who have signed in) can, too.

  6. I would like to look into new and old voice technologies, such as bluetooth calling and the new Alexa system, and see how they affect people with speech impediments. I would also like to analyze if there are measures in place to accommodate the needs of these people who may have difficulty.

  10. I would like to talk about why the the US is not using fiber optic cabling for Ethernet while the rest of the world is. Using fiber would speed up a lot of the streaming process up, less traffic jams and a more productive environment. This is interesting because all of the new technology is supported by fiber but yet, we are not using the benefits of it. I would like to look more into this topic.

  11. The tech idea I want to talk about is data analytics and the use of personal information. I interned with a data analytics firm that analyzed internet leads, in which people input personal information on sites like LowerMyBills.com. From here, these websites sell these leads to lenders such as Quicken Loans. Some of the concerns that people have is the privacy concerns in where their information goes and who has access to it.

  16. I want to talk about VR music experiences. This Includes using them for music videos, live concerts and music oriented video games. I’ll discuss how artists and video game producers can profit off this new technology.

  17. I would like to look into the environmental impact of data centers. This would involve researching current issues with them as well as what technology and policies is helping to improve them. I would also like to look into specific companies' data centers to see what they are uniquely doing to try and improve upon this problem.

  18. I plan on teaching R programming as an important tool for numerical analysis and one of the most popular languages used in statistics. It is very similar to SQL or Java, so someone with previous coding experience can easily pick it up. Not only are more stats classes moving towards R, it is really compatible with Tableau reporting. The combination of these two will provide more granular pictures for higher level executives.

  20. I would like to learn and share the basic of Python include how it works, how it is better than other programming languages with the class. It is useful to know the basic concepts for the students who are studying MIS because many technology companies are using Python these days.

  21. I would like to present on the use of self-boarding gates at airports in the US. Not only how they work and what the effects of automation have on customers and employees, but why they haven’t been widely implemented across airports in the United States. That leads me to believe that they haven't been very successful so far.

  23. I would like to research the topic of music streaming in today's society and how it may or may not have affected the sales of iTunes. Similar to the other topic' "How Netflix killed TV", I feel like there may be similar trends with music streaming apps (SoundCLoud, Spotify, etc.) has killed iTunes. And how iTunes may be adapting to these apps.
