This lecture was an introduction of all that will be done in this module and I and eagerly looking forward to it because it gives the possibility to design anything we want for the upcoming project, we are not limited to screen based products, it can be a VR or some sort of holographic technology if we will so. In class we watched a video on what IOT is and how it can change the future. It was really cool seeing all the innovative hardware and software in this video. When Paul asked what IOT meant I answered and said “Internet of Things”; I am familiar with this term because it is something I had to research into when I was preparing myself for my Johnson Controls placement interview.
Also known as the Fourth Industrial revolution or 4IR is the next phase in the technology manufacturing sector due to the rise in data, connectivity, analytics, human-machine interaction, and improvements in robotics.
Industry 4.0 is composed of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), and AI and this is reshaping how digital designers work; this immense transformation calls for designers to adapt to the the new and upcoming technology so that can remain relevant.

This lecture opened my eye to how fast technology has been developing, but it seems as though as of lately technological advancements have come to a hault and this is due to certain technoligical limitations, despite this I know for a fact that there will be some sort of huge break through in the next 5 years or so, for example I can see people owning autonomous vehicles or even flying vehicles as seen in some parts of the world
