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 thing I want to mention is OpenAI. I watched the spring update and was amazed by the new AI model, the ChatGPT-4o. It responds more quickly and can communicate with users using living video, pictures, voice, and text. More importantly, it is free, like ChatGPT-3.5! As a user subscribing to the ChatGPT-4, I may unsubscribe unless there is a more powerful function for the paid users.😑

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...

 Hello everyone! How are you doing? This week, I learned about Blockchain!👀 Blockchain is an innovative technology that started as the foundation for Bitcoin but has now expanded into many other areas. It is decentralized, meaning there is no central server, and data is maintained by network participants. Data in blockchain is organized into "blocks" linked in a chain, making it nearly impossible to alter once added. This transparency and security come from complex encryption. Networks use consensus mechanisms like Bitcoin's "Proof of Work" to verify data. Blockchain also supports "smart contracts," which automatically execute terms when conditions are met. The only thing I knew about blockchain before was virtual currencies. My stereotype was that it was something people hyped up, such as NFT, which many celebrities used to make money. However, after listening to the teacher's class, I realized that this technology has many more potentials and ap...

 Are you watching the 2024 Olympics? Are you loving it? This year, AI is taking center stage, making the games more exciting for everyone. Athletes in Paris use AthleteGPT, a friendly AI chatbot in the Athlete365 app. Whether they need directions or want to livestream events, AthleteGPT is there to help, scanning thousands of pages to provide answers. Intel’s 3D athlete tracking (3DAT) technology is a game-changer for coaches. It uses AI to analyze physical movements, offering insights that enhance performance and help identify new talent globally. Referees are also starting to use AI for those crucial, split-second decisions. While it's common in football, other sports like water polo are beginning to explore its benefits. Fans, AI is revolutionizing your experience, too! Broadcasters are using AI to provide real-time stats like acceleration and top speeds and even create personalized highlight reels. Imagine watching the Olympics with all your favourite moments curated just for y...
