To continue my post last week regarding the advancement of emerging technologies. I learned in this course that there are many emerging tech that is already out there aside from AI, gamification, blockchain and what not. But have you ever wondered why some of this tech is not progressing or even used by us?

Here's what I realized. There are many factors that makes emerging technologies challenging to predict considering the vast possibilities, continuous innovations, and complex influences that affects the growth (or regression) of a new technology or breakthrough. The success of an emerging technology heavily relies on the complexity of the technology itself, the consumer behavior and user acceptance, and the rapid pace of innovation that often outstrips the society’s understanding and integration capabilities. We have seen many breakthroughs attempts and innovations throughout the years but not every development has been accepted by the society or supported by the industry as they find it more complicated to implement since they also have to consider consumer preference, regulatory standards, and economic factors. For example, it has been so long ago (probably more than 10 years) that the industry started promoting electric motor vehicles, but it was only recently (less than 5 years) that people are actually starting to appreciate electric MVs, and until now, despite realizing the advantages.

I have some perspective and more realization to share in my next post on my next blog.

    Spot-on analysis of tomorrow’s tech careers! One critical addition: the rise of Emerging Tech Services (managed AI ops, cybersecurity-as-a-service, etc.) isn’t just creating jobs—it’s reshaping them. Freshers entering this space gain hybrid skills: technical depth + business acumen to translate tech into client outcomes. Roles like ‘Edge Computing Service Designer’ or ‘Sustainable Tech Implementation Lead’ will bridge innovation and practical adoption. How can academia better prepare students for this service-centric paradigm shift?

  In our class, we were instructed to research emerging technologies that we could incorporate to address the business gap identified in the first assignment. On my part, I was able to find vendors or solutions providers that offer Learning Management Systems (LMS) with the incorporation of emerging technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) ·       AI driven systems or software have the ability to analyze user data in order to design and tailor customized learning paths for individuals. That way employees, at Mustard Seed can easily access LMS materials tailored to their job roles, skill levels and preferred learning approaches.   Cloud-based learning Platforms ·         Cloud based education platforms empower companies to educate staff in subjects conveniently, across multiple locations like The Mustard Seeds sites in Canada. Having locations makes it challenging to implement a training program for employees...

 Last week in the Emerging Technologies class, we designed an evaluation tool to test and measure possible emerging technologies and their ability to close the identified business gap we came up with during the first week of the course. In my case, the identified business gap is an organization's lack of a Learning Management System. The organization needs a centralized learning platform for its employees despite having an identified list of training required for each worker/staff. They only have a list of identified training requirements per staff (depending on their role). Still, there needs to be a tool that provides a platform hosting all appropriate training materials and resources that the employees can easily access. Having a centralized learning management system (LMS) would be ideal to ensure that every employee has completed their required training materials, and it would be easier to track and report the training completion rates and training performance of the employees...
