How about Bill C-51? 4 Skills To understand the fundamentals of networking, and Internetworking how the Internet works, and how applications can, and do function on the Internet how Web 2.0 and New Media technologies, such as MUVEs, blogs, wikis, mashups, RSS, and others
work how these Web 2.0 technologies are being, or could be, used in business 5 Course Outline 15% Participation / Seminar Contributions In the seminar (2/3) Online Yammer discussions (1/3) 30% Technology Presentations
30% Final Examination 25% Term Project 6 Reference Materials Discussion questions are assigned periodically on the course web page http://bus466.com http://newmediabusinessblog.org Usually they focus on some posted reading, supplemented either by a library article downloadable
for reading, or a reference to information or an article on a website The first one will be given next week 7 Final The final exam reflects the material we cover in the sessions, especially the topics you select and present. I will add/modify topics after you have identified the issues you deem important to
research and present. The final will be a series of questions on your topics, and on mine. 8 Final The wiki writeups from the technology presentations will have to be online by the end of Week 13, since they represent the topical outline for the final.
Technology Presentations Every week group(s) will bring forward a relevant technology and present for discussion what the technology is, where it fits in relation to Internet applications, how businesses are using it, and why it is interesting. MUVE Wiki blogs social networking apps 10
Gartners 2015 Hype Cycle Gartners 2016 Hype Cycle Gartners 2017 Hype Cycle Technology Presentations I will start the presentations in week 4 with a discussion of a Web 2.0 technology that has some interesting business opportunities
Yammer 14 Technology Presentations Your task in the next two weeks is to form a group of 4 (a group of 4 is typically comprised of between 3 and 5 persons) You are to meet and discuss new media business applications and technologies, find one of mutual interest
In week 3, we will discuss your selections There is a course wiki being set up on which you can discuss ideas online and claim a week or topic. https://wiki.sfu.ca/fall17/bus466d100 15 Technology Presentations Once approved (simply dealing with duplications, clarifying the issues, etc.), you should explore the technology general classification
related alternatives The private course wiki has a page with schedule preferences. Then go look at who is using it, and what innovative business opportunities there are for this technology 16 Technology Presentations First come, first served. We will discuss how to access and use it, and the first group to post their topic on a wiki page about group
presentations owns that topic. The wiki is linked on the course web page. https://wiki.sfu.ca/fall17/bus466d100/ 17 The Book A significant concept that has emerged in this course is the power of crowdsourcing. I used a book initially, but it got old fast. For a recommended reading list, there is a
wiki created by past BUS466 participants with topics on it. We will refer to that wiki for recommended readings: http://newmediabusinessblog.org Topics: Term Wiki Writeups http://newmediabusinessblog.org It is my hope that we can extend this to continue evolving a body of knowledge
We will discuss topics next week For this term, I hope we can find new topics to add to this project 20 Weekly Seminar Format
30 - 50 minutes Whats new in technology this week? new applications legal issues
significant, interesting events ~ up to 1 hour Seminar discussion text and readings material ~ 1 to 1.5 hours Technology presentations, discussions 21 General Topic Suggestions Explore a web technology in depth
what it is who is using it, and for what purpose describe an application of it in depth Such as... Mashups describe their origins, development, growth give examples of applications of
mashups do a case study of an organization cleverly using them, and what they gain from them OR, build a mashup to show its potential for a club, business, or key application If you are curious, have a look at Yahoo Pipes 22
General Topic Suggestions Compare a business that is using an innovative Web 2.0 technology with one that isnt what is the cost of the investment? what are they gaining? who is winning? 23 General Topic Suggestions
You could also look at a phenomenon, like the permanent loss of control of peoples privacy with new Web 2.0 applications For example, a group presented freeconomics and discussed the notion of free things on the web, and what the costs are, and what the business models are. Google doesnt sell much, but they could buy General Motors if they felt like it. 24
General Topic Suggestions I am open to suggestions Form a group, discuss the topic for your technology presentation We will spend some time next week discussing the technology presentation topics 25 General Topic Suggestions Explore a general Web 2.0 / New Media
technology in an overview format what is it where did it come from how old is it who is using it what are they gaining from it 26 General Topic Suggestions Advocacy of a Social Media technology that
could change something Online cyberbullying, and the devastating consequences Facebooks automatic facial tagging technology Couldnt they work to fix this? General Topic Suggestions The Dark Web and how it is closing in on mainstream business applications AshleyMadison.com as a catalyst
Point of Reference When starting to think about a topic, go to the NEWMEDIABUSINESSBLOG.ORG site and have a look at recent topics. The wiki provides a nice multimedia format so you can get a pretty good idea of past presentation materials. Discussion Question How old is the Internet? 30

Transistors 1947 Bell labs invented the transistor Some team members left Bell Labs and founded Fairchild semiconductor Gordon Moore, Robert Noyce left Fairchild in 1967 to found Intel Gordon Moore made a famous prediction in 1965 the doubling of transistors every couple of years Now known as Moores Law
38 Newer Technologies Yet Satellites were developed in the 1960s for communication purposes Optical fiber in 1966 (use of light to transmit data) 1995: Nortel has a proof of concept school in the United Kingdom that runs packets over electricity transmission lines 39
