Presentations Takeaway

The biggest take-away from my group project is how we were able to collaborate and communicate with one another. Despite our schedules being busy, we still made sure that roles were divided for the project and that we executed a plan on how we should go about our presentations. Based on other groups’ presentations, I realized that there were groups that had creative extension ideas like the NYU images for each tab and the sound effects on the YouTube videos. I thought that each group had creative and different ideas and it was interesting to see the way that they executed the projects.

Videos Takeaway

Based on the three videos this week, I saw that Kelsey Hightower emphasized that open source is used to inspire others including competitors and argued that “moats” is counterproductive in an era of collaboration. Craigh McLuckie spoke about the modern supply chain and how generative AI can introduce sales dependencies. Linus Torvalds has expressed his frustrations with secrets around hardware-level security bugs but remains optimistic about AI evolving in programming tools.

Style of Presentations

I learned that many presenters took upon the approach of introducing a real-life problem before presenting their ideas. Also, my group made the presentation more interactive by asking the audience for their input before proceeding with the demo. I think that I should improve my style of presentations by being more interactive with my audience and asking for their inputs. Also, I know that if I want to sell an idea, I need to give my customers/audience a reason to purchase the product. Therefore, I want to present the information in a way that is convincing and provide a scenario or problem and provide a solution using the product/application I want to see.
