Mohammad’s Presentation:

This new streaming idea is a risky thing for me because this product depends on an internet connection. Internet connection is not always reliable. They say that they are serious to make this available for everybody but to fulfill that their customers need a proper internet connection. In addition, what everybody means for them, only the United States or does it include third-world countries were internet speeds does not reach 10 Mbps.

Another issue is that they say it will save money. But that is coming with a cost—the cost of slavery. We are going to be a slave to their service. Another factor to that is that it only has one control. So, to play with friends we cannot do it offline and to play we have to pay. For example, I have a PS4, if my friends come over to my house I can play with them offline because PS4 supports multiple controllers, and I do not have to pay any more if I want to keep playing the game.

If the gaming service is running well, it is a good invention. What is the price range for this Gaming service And is the software stable?

Presenter 1

I came in towards the end of the presentation so i do not think it would be fair for me to comment about the content. However, I was able to catch a few minutes before the end and think the presenter did a good job showing that he owned the topic. The few slides I saw from the door looked great and the presenter was very confident in his answers to the questions asked.

Mohammed – Google (Stadia)

You mentioned “No loading time, 5 secs to load game” – i think this all depends on how the cable&internet companies services react if you have the proper “plan” to provide for this gaming.  It can also be beneficial to the internet companies to sell a higher quality internet so everyone can be involved in the new “IN THING” its also interesting how PS and XBox controllers can both work.

“Google Introduces Streaming Video Game Service” Stadia – NYT

Mohammed

How does this compare to Nvidia GeForce Now? Do you think Stadia will flop or be the next big thing?

Mohammed – Google Stadia

Not a gamer person, however, this topic mention saving money on gamming which really catch my attention.

First Presentation (Mohammed)

• I have seen this topic around the media and have not looked upon it but after your presentation it has given me more then enough information to learn about google Stadia.
• would you after reading this will you buy the system?

Presentation 1: Many people stream games now, it is very interesting to see what Google is attempting especially being a gamer. It will be interesting to see if competitors like Sony and Microsoft are able to keep up.

do you think google stadia is the future of gaming and will it be able to compete with the PS4 and Xbox and its consistency?

Matt’s Presentation:

Cryptocurrency is going to be the ultimate currency in the future. People are reluctant to invest in it but that is why we need to understand the cues that big companies are giving us. For example, Facebook is doing its own cryptocurrency is not something they do because they like, it is because they know that there is where the money is going to be. Big companies stay big because they have a vision. Not only facebook but Telegram, Alibaba, Walt Disney, Ford motor, Amazon, etc. They all are making their own cryptocurrencies. So, it is interesting to see where the world is going.

Question: Have you invested in cryptocurrency?

Afraz’s Presentation:

Very interesting how posture can affect the mood, and how it is proved that depression is positive correlated to it. However, I disagree with a phone being the only problem because most of the things that we do require bending our head. For example, cooking, dancing, reading a book.

Very good clarification from Afraz when he said that is the constant use of our phone, where we need to bend our head, the problem.

Ahmed’s Presentation:

I find interesting how artificial intelligence is taking little by little of the medical industry. And it is amazing how good use people are putting to it as to help the needy. It shocking the amount of doctor per million of citizen they have which is 11. However, AI technology is not perfect. If the patient cataracts they will probably need a doctor.

My question is: If they manage to implement AI, out all the people that get screened, how are they going to be treated? I mean, they can only screen people but if many test positive, how are they going to treat them?
