 Congratulations everyone! You have survived the May 2024. Summer is ahead, woohoo! First, let's talk about something I learned from these two weeks' lectures:  Cynefin framework👀 What is the Cynefin framework? Derived from a Welsh word meaning “place of residence” or “familiar territory,” it is a decision-making framework developed by Dave Snowden in 1999 to help leaders and organizations better understand the situations they face and make more appropriate decisions accordingly. make more appropriate decisions. The Cynefin framework categorizes the different contexts of complexity into five broad categories: Clear, Complex, Chaotic, Complex, and Confusion. Last but not least, the IT news of this week!  Many companies have been using user data to train their AI tools without asking. Recently, it was found that Slack has been doing this too. Slack used its users' files, messages, and data for AI without their permission. Users were added to this automatically. We the users

What I learn from this week's emerging technology class - week three

Have you ever watched a movie called Get Out? In this horror movie, the rich old white men and women extend their lives by transplanting their brains into young black humans. The movie itself didn't scare me, but the latest news related to it gave me chills. BrainBridge is developing the world's first revolutionary Head Transplant Concept System. This system uses robotics and artificial intelligence to perform complete head transplants that preserve the head and face. According to BrainBridge, the Head Transplant System can dramatically improve post-operative outcomes and speed recovery after successful surgery. Here is the link for this new idea: https://brainbridge.tech/ While this is still a concept, the thing that bothers me is that the head transplants performed entirely by robotic surgeons could be coming to a hospital near you within a decade, which sounds more like the opening scene of a B-grade sci-fi/horror movie.

What I learn from this week's emerging technology class - week two

 The week went by so quickly! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I just had a crazy Mother's Day because everyone came to celebrate the holiday at the restaurant where I work, and I worked 10 hours nonstop.💀 All right, let's talk about new tech now! The topic during the classes is SWOT, which is also related to business decisions. SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat. We can break down SWOT into four analysis directions using internal and external factors. It is mainly for enterprises to analyze their strengths and weaknesses, as well as the competition and threats they face. When we conduct a SWOT analysis, we get a self-analyzed result and use these strategies to prioritize our efforts to grow the business. A SWOT analysis will allow us to look at the business in a new way and direction. We will better understand our strengths and weaknesses and how we can utilize them to take advantage of the opportunities and threats in the marketplace. Another thi

What I learn from this week's emerging technology class - week one

 Hi everyone!😇 This blog is mainly for my emerging technology class assignment. Every week, I share my thoughts on this week's content. This is week one, and I am so excited to start my fourth semester and this new blogging journey. This week's topic is gap analysis. According to PPT, gap analysis in the information technology (IT) industry is a methodology for assessing and comparing gaps between current technology systems, processes, services, or capabilities and organizational goals or market needs. It is used to identify differences between the current and desired states and help determine the steps necessary to reach desired business goals. A Gap analysis can help an organization increase efficiency, reduce costs, improve services, or achieve technology upgrades. We also discuss different gap analysis tools, such as SWOT, PERT, the Nadler-Tushman congruence model, the Fishbone diagram, and the McKinsey 7-s model. This part is quite similar to a business class I used to ta
