Prof has shared many interesting videos with the class today, another “video” sharing class. Started off the lesson with an interesting video, People are able to create the things that they want almost immediately, through molding. They are able to adjust the model to the way they like it to be and changing the color as well. That’s the power of technology! We might see that happening in the near future! The immediate action that could be done to the model will be beneficial for the different meetings conducted, any of the people are able to visually see and change the model to their own preference. Some advantages of this would be saving time from repeatedly changing the prototype to suit the client’s preference; they are able to change it on the spot. :)
Some of the drivers for these would be
1. Market driven (recommended for new entrepreneurs as they can start off based on the market need for the technologies)
2. Technology driven - growing technical knowledge (need to create the technology, require people to agree with your technology.
3. Supply may create demand – it is only until the people realize the existence of the technologies available and realized that they actually need it, thus creating the demand for it. E.g. Smartphone
4. Mass media and advertising – the power of mass media
4 SMARTS
- SMART people
- SMART idea
- SMART money
- SMART alliances and partnerships
Sales – Push: Trying to sell off the things that you have on hand.
Marketing – Pull: people will come looking for you to ask you for the things that you have.
The ROBOT: Perfect woman
Wow... it’s amazing to see robots that resemble so much to a real human! I was quite shock when I first saw it as I really thought it’s a real woman, only until the camera zoom out to the whole body shot that I realized it’s actually a robot. Robot is not something that we’re unfamiliar with. We’ve know that Japan is one of the countries that has the most advanced technologies and also it is actively involved in the research of creating smart robots, robots that can help humans in their daily lives.
For the perfect woman, I find it quite scary because it’s not as “normal” as humans, the way it speaks and the overall appearance looks and feels eerie to me. HAHA! But no doubt, it is a good creation by the creators.
Where will we be in the near future?
In 10 years to come, Singapore will definitely not be what we’re seeing now. It will change quite drastically, the “integration” of technology and new innovations in the future will be instilled in the near future. Of course, the change is for the better…. We might be able to see robots functioning as maids in households in maybe 20 years later? The fact that the experimentation on robots is highly seen in countries like Japan, there is no doubt that this change will be expanded to rest of the world.
Presentations today are very insightful, introducing us to the various types of possible future technologies. Be it nanotechnology or the change in the user experience during flights, these sharings are no doubt informative for me, quite an eye opener, and how amazing will it be if we’re really able to see these future technologies in 20 years.
