Muyiwa: Amazon
When it comes to business power is all about. The more powerful your company is, the more successful will be. I Agree with Jeff Bezos on refusing to stay in NY because taxes.
Louis: Seven ways how technology will change in 2019
No matter how technology improves over the years it will be a human need to correct error. Technology improvements are good, but when it comes to food is something that I just don’t get it.
Muyiwa Aniyikaye’s Presentation:
The deal with Amazon seems good in the outside but in the inside that might not be the case. For instance, they didn’t disclose what kind of jobs they were going to offer. Another point is how good manipulator is Jeff Bezos. He hired New Yorkers just because he was negotiating a deal in New York, otherwise, he would not do that.
Louis’ Presentation:
This world is advancing very fast and apparently without stopping. You don’t assimilate one technology when a newer one is released. Personally, I don’t like where this is going. People are going to lose jobs because of it. Creators are not considering possible errors a technology-driven world might bring. For example, what if driverless cars lose signal or how are they going to respond against an unexpected event such as natural disaster. The aspect that worries me about this is that the negative aspect is not being spoken. And the speed, the speed of these new advances. For example, in photography, you buy a camera today but in a month is going to be obsolete. And It affects people in a way they think they made a bad choice not waiting for the newer technology.

Amazon’s Hard Bargain Extends Far Beyond New York – NYT
Amazon lowers prices of its goods for customers and does not require customers to pay taxes for a large portion of items on Amazon. Do you think if Amazon paid State taxes and passed on the taxes to customers, their business would suffer?
