Interesting to know that video games and AI can help in treatment. But our generation is already so involved with technology and gadgets. Do you think video games and more software will be helpful for even small issues like sleeplessness ? D you think depending so much on technology wont be harmful ?

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.

Seven ways Technology will change

Second Presentation (Louie)

•  good powerpoint with lots of information and an amazing video added to it very nice

Amazon – Good article to talk about, Amazon coming to LIC would have drastically altered the Queens and NYC infrastructure. The economic effect would be huge if they made a HQ in Queens, for better or more likely worse.

Louis – Interesting news on technology, some of the innovations sound great while others sound like they could be destructive to society if used for the wrong purpose.

Muyiwa Aniyikaye-

Do you think Amazon is creating a financial imbalance in the states they operate by not paying tax and by offering a limited amount of jobs in comparison?

Louis Sakala-

Do you think driver less taxis will be successful in the future despite the major accidents that occurred with Uber’s self driving car?

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?

Do you think driver-less taxis will have a future when there are so many people/drivers currently sabotaging Waymo cars?

Muyiwa 

Why did you choose this article?

Do You feel that if amazon expands its business to New York  will it hurt or help the city?

Louis

Out of 7 ways technology is evolving, which one do you think is making the best impact?

Presenter 1 – Muyiwa – “Amazon”

I enjoyed listening to your presentation on Amazon. As much as I know of them it was good to get some incite of some of their past interactions with other states. Great job.

Presenter 2 – Louis Sakala – “Seven Ways Technology Will Change in 2019.”

Thank you Louis for your presentation, it was very informative. There was a lot of information unpacked here so I must thank you for your persistence and dedication in getting it all done.
