After taking the module of BEMM129, I have got a deeper understanding on the impact of technology advancement on nowadays society and learn how to write a good article in the process of learning, I think this module is really helpful for my future learning and career development.
Firstly, by learning this module, I noticed that technology development had not only changed business model in various industries, but also posed a positive impact on people’s daily life and environment protection. For example, as a representative company which relies on the technology of Internet of things, Uber not only enable drivers to better balance work and life, but also contribute to decrease emission, which is benefit for mitigating the greenhouse effect on global warming. The wide applications of AI technology enable restaurants to operate more efficiently and bring people a brand-new eating experience. But it should not be ignored that technology has its limitation in current stage. As I comment in ysheir’s blog, the expensive initial investment on technology and maintenance fees may stop many restaurants to apply new technology and sometimes the AI robot may need Manual intervention to keep it work (Liu, 2020). Consequently, whether or not AI technology can help companies to save cost is still an issue worth discussing, but we should not deny that AI and automation will be the future trend. As I comment in George’s first blog, many countries are researching the internet of vehicles and automated drive technology. And machine learning is widely applied in human-machine interaction (Liu, 2020). Maybe, some jobs like driver will disappeared in the society one day. Therefore, we need to keep sensitive on the technology advancement and learn more practical skills to prevent machines to replacing our position.
Secondly, I have got new understanding on the ecosystem of Internet economy. As I mentioned in the comment for Mark’s blog, I learned a lot of new concept like Moore’s Law and understood the advantage of WeChat pay compared to Alipay (Liu, 2020). I think Mark’s article has arisen my interest in the deeper research in the Internet economy.
For the impacts of this module imposed on my future career, I made a video to discuss them further:
Thirdly, learning by reading others’ blog is a really good experience for me to learn how to write a good article. For instance, I praised George’s writing style in the comment, and his writing style taught me how to demonstrate viewpoints clearly and how to give evidences to validate his viewpoints (Liu, 2020).
Overall, learning this module is a really unforgettable experience for me and it will benefit my future learning and career development.
