Understanding The Digital Revolution Assessment Help

TASK1 The first step to creating your video and report is to explore both the technology and the industry, to understand the potential impacts. Write a short description of the technology and the industry  and add both to your ePortfolio page. You may use any relevant sources, including websites, blogs, tweets, journal articles and textbooks. Ensure you reference any sources appropriately. TASK2 If you are having trouble, remember that this is a creative task – it’s ok for your ideas to be 10 or 30 years in the future. The more you can come up with at this stage the better, even if you think your ideas are completely implausible. Some hints: Consider the impact of the technology on the people in the industry; will it make their lives easier or harder? Can you draw parallels to other industries where your technology may have had impact? Are there other technologies you’re aware of that might, together with your chosen technology, have a stronger combined impact? Creative thinking requires a dedicated block of time and the freedom to play around with ideas. Don’t leave it to the last minute! Once you have brainstormed a number of impacts, choose one to focus on for the next two assignment parts. Review the rest of this assignment specification before choosing. TASK3 Choose one technology impact from the previous exercise, and identify at least four factors or constraints that make this impact possible, or which might prevent it occurring. Frame these within Lawrence Lessig’s regulations – Market, Law, Architecture (Physical/Natural) and Norm(Social/Ethical). Include them in your ePortfolio page. At least one of the factors or constraints should be ethical in nature. You may choose to identify one factor or constraint for each of Lessig’s categories, or have multiple in one category. For example, it is ok to have three Market constraints and one Norm constraint. TASK4 Identify one process within your industry or field that would change as a result of your chosen impact. Some hints to identify processes: Consider processes in acquisition, manufacture, supply, support, staffing, and communication Write a brief use case – like a case study but focussing on interactions and processes Try searching! For example, “business processes in ticket sales” (but use your chosen business). Don’t just copy an existing diagram though. For this process, determine: Events; Activities or Tasks; Decision points; Actors (people and/or objects); Outcomes Refer to lecture materials and readings for descriptions of these terms. Write a description of this process in English , referring to the above events, tasks, decisions, actors and outcomes. It is acceptable and expected that you make a number of assumptions about the process, but these should be explicitly included in your description. What are you basing your understanding on? Identify specific components of this process that would change due to your technological idea. Describe how these components would be affected by the change . It should be clear which events, tasks, decision points, actors, and outcomes are affected, and in which ways. This may include components being removed, replaced, augmented or added. Include justification for why these components are affected by your specific technology. Use process model diagrams to support your description – one before and one after the change. These need to be detailed enough to show the change in processes, but not so detailed that the changes are hard to spot. The purpose of your model here is to show the impact of the technology on the business process; let that guide your level of detail.
