One thing you said maybe one of the most important aspects of big data, “visualization is key.” There are people out there that can look at a data set and “see” the connections. I am not one of them. Having a system that can pull the data and present it in a way that is easily understood. At this point decision makers can actually make decisions on the data, not spending all their time trying to interpret it.

I really like how you mention that you enjoy a well designed menu. I too, have always enjoyed this aspect of a restaurant experience. It is an understatement that some restaurants do it better than others. I have actually judged restaurants if they had a poorly designed menu (I am a graphic designer too). The worst is when the menu doesn’t make…[Read more]

I can relate to your opening sentiments, Jen. When you really think about it, all the driving we do is really absurd in many way, with the sharing of roads and highways with so many drivers everyday. I spent a long time using public transportation and walking and biking to work and places I wanted to go. Now that I have a job that requires me to…[Read more]

Thanks for your comment and sharing that article with me, Misha. I look forward to reading it. I too wasn’t too familiar with the effects of palm oil until recently. It is very sad to see photos of palm oil plantations and the destruction they cause. I am happy that we are living in a time though, where public knowledge is increasing and large…[Read more]

That is a great point, Sean. I would agree. Technology can be used for good in so many ways, we collectively need to all start taking on these challenges and embracing these solutions.

Interesting concept, Katherine! If an app like this would become available, I wonder how well the Govenment could work to get everyone on board with the app. It is a great idea, because you can never have too much important information shared with the public. The PA Dept. of Health launched a COVID app to Pennsylvanians recently and it is being…[Read more]

I work for a government agency that promotes veterans benefits and programs. I am often reading about VA programs that address the health of the nation’s veteran population.

Another selling point to the Government of Borneo is a security argument. A lot of times these types of illegal operations are used to fund local terrorism. If something like this can be used to limit illegal operations. This would directly decrees the money terrorist groups throughout the region have to conduct attacks. That is what makes this a good solution. It would provide many different benefits to bring in more stakeholders to help champion it.

I honestly didn’t know too much about palm oil production until reading this and taking a look at a few of the sources you used. I think the Indonesian government would be silly to not want to use this satellite image technology to monitor what is happening. If they don’t, money is going to be continuously at loss. If this works out, just like they are using it in Brazil and Sumatra, other countries could start using this technology as well! It could benefit even more.
I believe that brands really need to be transparent with their consumers, potential customers, and even other stakeholders if they want to truly be successful and keep a positive reputation. Supply chain transparency has been becoming very important over the years. It is also helpful for the internal company as well because if they know all of the details in their supply chain processes, they will be able to improve their operations. They can cut costs and create better efficiency. iThe article below gives some more insight about the transparency levels and how companies should go about it and how to define it.

Sean – great point about security! This would definitely help the area.

Thanks for sharing this, Kassi. I really liked the insight you pulled from the articles. You make some really relevant points about engagement. In the article “Social Media and Politics,” you point out that Trump’s strategy differed in a way that generated more engagement. I do remember vividly seeing the difference between candidates back in 2016…[Read more]
