 Hello Everyone! This is my final post for this Technology for Leading and Learning course.  For my final project, I created a digital storytelling video. The presentation introduces Tableau, a transformative data visualization platform. I explain the key features, how it can be used in the accounting field, and some disadvantages of using Tableau. My experience in creating effective presentations and videos during this semester helped me a lot when developing this final project. I enjoyed making every part of the video, and I hope you like it too! Presentation Link: https://youtu.be/_WN984e4hzs

This week, I generated a podcast episode with the help of AI. I used ChatGPT to create this podcast episode script about the potential future of AI in 2050. I asked to structure it into four main parts based on the concepts of Ray Kurzweil's Technological Singularity and Buckminster Fuller's Knowledge Doubling Curve. Essentially, ChatGPT helped me with the tone (thought-provoking) and catchy phrases of each part of the script. However, I had to make some adjustments to add extra information and clarification regarding Kurzweil's and Fuller's theories. Specifically, it was interesting to see how it presented future predictions regarding Brain-Cloud Interfaces. I wonder if this could really happen in 2050 or perhaps earlier or later.  I hope you enjoy the script! 🎙️ Podcast Episode Script – "Mindwave: Where Future Meets Now"   1.

Hello Everyone! This week, I learned about blockchain technology and Bitcoin. As I went through the lessons, I found many interesting information regarding cryptocurrency and the related technology. My general feelings towards Blockchain and Bitcoin are uncertain. Even though they provide numerous benefits of financial freedom, the high levels of risks make it difficult to consider as my financial investment. For now, I am not planning to use cryptocurrency; however, if it becomes more stable, I may consider using it in the future. I have created a digital book about Bitcoin. Hope you enjoy my digital book! Digital Book Link:  Bitcoin Book
