Digital journey is never the end but always a new start

I am glad I have selected this module and was a part of this unique learning experience. Unlike the traditional lecture which only presented by the lecturer, students are interacting with the whole class, leaded by the lecturer as well as listening to ideas from everyone. I believe this is what University is for, not only meet people from all around the world, but study and improve with them combine the technologies we have today. Value individual ideas and critical thinking, avoid the risk of group think.

New Area

I rarely look into the makeup market other than buying ‘necessary’ gifts for my girlfriend 😅. By reading Roshni’s blog on Sephora, I had the opportunity to explore how digital technology changed the makeup industry, the interesting business ideas and applications. I am impressed that my idea (as an ignorance outsider to makeup) has been agreed by Roshni. Although I am still trying to get my laptop to work on online make up Vitural Artist with the use of Virtual Reality (VR). 😞

Further to the VR technology in makeup industry, I also discussed its use in future computer game industry with Simon. Simon shared his computer science expertise and introduced me the new concept between the traditional and VR, which is Augmented Reality (AR).

International Opinions

I was excited to see Boom did a similar blog as mine, based on the digitalized banking industry. This was a great opportunity for me to discuss my view with a student in a different cultural background (Boom is from Thailand), combining with the feedback I received on my blog and ask Boom for his idea on this area.

Bigger Scale

I commented on another interesting blog from Boom, which was about the food delivery company Go-Jek. We discussed whether the more technology equipped DBM can be used to contribute to the society, such as use the collected data from the Go-Jek delivery app in health research. In my opinion, the improved digital technology shouldn’t only be used for company’s monetary profit but the profit for the whole society and further make a better world.

Receiving Comments, Think and Discuss critically

It is always great to see my work been appreciated by others. Friends as well as people that I have never met before. It has really offered me a chance to engage with others in a more depth and professional manner. Simon and I discussed about the rise in cryptocurrency and its use on people who have difficulties to access financial services. My friend Ash pointed out the AI staffed bank that I mentioned in my blog might be redundant with the improved online banking services, which brought me to think that are the overwhelming applications with improved digital technologies really practicable or just for an eye-catching trial.

What I have taken from this journey and what next?
