Snapchat's CEO Evan Spiegel follows an ambitious strategy focused on independence, branching out more than originally thought. However, the company's innovations are not taking off and larger competitors like Instagram are surpassing Snapchat. Snapchat started as a messaging app but is now shifting focus to creators, though many users reject this new update and business model. Spiegel has turned down acquisition offers of $3 billion from Facebook in 2013 and $30 billion from Google in 2017 in order to maintain the company's independence.
IBM Watson is an artificial intelligence software that utilizes various algorithms and techniques to process unstructured data through natural language understanding. Watson can be applied across different domains like healthcare, education, commerce, and more. A newer software called FAIR was developed by Facebook and uses techniques like facial recognition that can identify human faces with 98% accuracy in under 5 seconds. Both Watson and FAIR represent innovations in AI, but Watson is more mature while FAIR is emerging.
This document discusses different strategic approaches and schools of thought. It contrasts deliberate strategies that involve extensive planning versus emergent strategies that emphasize adapting to changes. It provides examples of companies like Sony that committed to an inflexible strategy with their Beta format and Microsoft that hedged their bets by developing Windows alongside DOS. The document also discusses balancing deliberate and emergent strategies depending on the type of innovation and risk involved.
The document discusses the uncanny valley phenomenon and its implications for automation and artificial intelligence. The uncanny valley refers to the idea that humanoid machines that are close to, but not perfectly human-like, can cause unease in humans. The document also mentions that automation applied to efficient operations will increase efficiency, while automation applied to inefficient operations will magnify inefficiency, as stated by Bill Gates. Finally, the document lists several key ideas related to interfaces, including diffusion of innovation, social referencing, diversity, conformity, exploration, and efficiency.
This document discusses the history and evolution of computers from their origins to modern times. It defines computers as programmable machines that can perform tasks according to prerecorded instructions. The document outlines the major hardware components of computers and how they have changed over time, from early mainframes to the development of personal computers driven by software innovations. It also discusses the concept of disruptive innovation and how new technologies can displace existing ones by entering at the low end of the market and eventually achieving higher performance.

Additional sections cover media and entertainment applications, mesh models/environments, live action and CGI, and reproduction in media. The artificial intelligence section discusses key applications like supercomputers, big data, and Moore
The document discusses several frameworks and models for understanding innovation and business thinking. It introduces the idea of analytical thinking versus intuitive thinking in business. Design thinking is presented as combining empathy, creativity, and rationality. The knowledge funnel framework has three stages - mystery, heuristic, and algorithm - for consistently innovating. Organizations are argued to favor reliability over validity. The innovator's dilemma and strategy paradox frameworks are also summarized. Later sections discuss merging the different models and applying them to understand types of innovation cycles.
Technical drawing standards were introduced 60 years ago, and Canada uses the CSA CAN-B78 standard, similar to ISO and ANSI. Orthographic views show all necessary views to scale using 3rd angle projection. Enlarged detail views show small details enlarged, while sectional views show cutting planes. General arrangement drawings communicate early design intent with different views and a bill of materials, later evolving into an assembly drawing with part drawings specifying each part.
