Kelly,

Thanks for putting my initial point into perspective. Although it hurts my wallet just thinking of this depreciation it really does help bring our attention to the tech industry!

Amanda and Sean,

I agree and love how Sean worded this; “what the consumer can do for the tech.” I think this is overlooked although it is a large part of the process and integration of IoT in general. Thanks for bringing this topic into discussion!

Sammi,

Thanks for sharing! I think Stitch Fix did a tremendous job entering and disrupting their market. When it comes down to it I think the main reason for their success is their ideal customer. They customer is someone not heavily involved in their industry and their branding helped engage new users into the apparel industry, in a way that…[Read more]

I think smart fridge consumers are early adapters at this point in the market. Although other application of smart devices in the kitchen are much more popular, like the use of Alexa’s for timers and recipes within the kitchen.

I appreciate your point of how IoT could be beneficial for kitchen safety. I think framing products and technology in…[Read more]

Sean,

I agree with your point that this application of IoT is not something the streaming services customers are looking for.

I see your point on the branding as well. It is definitely out there but thats exactly why it caught my attention. They had a lot of avenues available to represent…[Read more]

Joel,

Thanks for bringing up this topic of AI in the medical field. I actually recently read an article on the matter in relation to COVID 19. There was a recent AI created that identifies the sound of a patients cough, and can differentiate a COVID cough from a cough caused by other symptoms. I found this very interesting as well as disruptive…[Read more]

Misha and Gabi,

My parents have a roomba and are obsessed! Literally to the point where they order new ones on Amazon and send them to our entire extended family My moms favorite line is, “I’m busy I am vacuuming right now.” as she sits on the couch and reads and the roomba goes around the house. It is definitely convenient as well as…[Read more]

Phillip ad Gabi,

I also learned of the effects on these small rural villages a few years back and admittedly forgot about concept and effects on the people that live and work there. This is definitely information that is not widely broadcasted and I think could be beneficial to push customers to buy refurbished as well.
