This is exactly what I have been discussing pertaining to the importance of having an update and recovery strategy.

Exercise a System Recovery Plan Create, review, and exercise a system recovery plan to ensure the restoration of data as part of a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy. The plan must protect critical data, configurations, and logs to ensure continuity of operations due to unexpected events.

There is clearly a connection between ownership of "stuff" and proper stewardship of the same. this article brings to light how this process needs to be sustainable and the responsibilities that we all have to ensure that our own footprint is not causing more harm to our planet through poor management of the items we have purchased. According to a 2013 report by the Consumer Electronics Association, the average American household uses about 28 electronic products such as personal computers, mobile phones, televisions and electronic readers (e-readers). With an ever increasing supply of new electronic gadgets, EPA's Facts and Figures about Materials, Waste and Recycling show that Americans generated 2.7 million tons of consumer electronics goods in 2018, representing less than one percent of all municipal solid waste generation.

what I enjoyed about this particular article is that it actually not only explains the concepts of AR and VR and hw they elate to AI but also how it contrasts them: see the highlighted excerpts in quotes below; "Augmented Reality Definition Augmented Reality (AR) is the overlaying of computer-generated objects upon the real environment. The application recognizes some element in the real environment and then places objects in relation to it with differing levels of interactivity." And, "Virtual Reality Definition Virtual Reality (VR) is a completely digital experience that is viewed inside a closed visual environment. It may also include physical elements from the outside world such as movement, temperature, and sound." I discussed these contrasts in my academic journal in which VR is a completely digital experience in most cases, although there can be some physical animation involved that may be perceived as a type of AI or AR incorrectly. it does however allow a greater margin that the its counterparts to create a complete fantasy world that has no similarities with reality whatsoever. Ai however presents a more reciprocal thinking addition to the equation which in my opinion at some point will blend seamlessly with VR. AR on the other hand in a way does this by allowing the concepting of augmenting the reality by definition. They all have advantages and limitations, to where these are pushed will be the real question in the future.

This article on navigating the PMS market makes some valid points as it relates to application and the need for a PMS system in order to eventually either scale or grow the management of the asset. It makes a key point in addressing that by the year 2030 there will be an increase in market size for this type of software reaching 2.7 billion in market share. The blog also makes an excellent point that I have not seen in many articles claiming that the effectiveness of a good PMS system also helps the tenant, and not just the management, as it provides a better managed community for those who live and or work in properties that employ these systems. Ill note there is a glitch and the highlighter is not working.

This article addresses a main point, "cloud computing is a growing sector". it further accents the economic factor in cloud computing and the need for capital for its maintenance and viability. The article specifically speaks to the limitation of providers due to the high cost required for its implementation. Specifically, where it says " given", the substantial upfront capital needed to be competitive in the field, addresses directly the point that only large developers with deep pockets will be able to not only enter this arena, but also sustain themselves in it. The article also makes a compelling point which is not contradictory , but thought provoking which is that although it is expensive and there is extensive competition, the market and the need is "huge". This means that potentially regardless of the resources it takes to start up, there will be a demand and need for cloud computing services in the future, particularly as more entities refrain and stay away from development and maintenance of their own in house services. The article focuses on the largest players in the sector which one expect are the tech giants; Amazon, Microsoft and Google and the fact that they have a two thirds of market share in the present day, which is a lions share of the market by any standards. The article further discusses this sector in foreign markets and the effect economies such as the Chinese economies will have on these sectors, and in fact addresses how instability in Asian markets directly affect the stability of cloud computing domestically. This is a key area to watch in the future.

This article presents the importance of having a plan B in case there is an interruption in the supply chain of a hospitality business, as we experienced globally during the COVID 19 pandemic. Without a backup plan and a well trained workforce that understands the pitfalls of supply chain interruption, a Hotel for example can easily find itself with disinfecting agents or even linens for future guests and have no ability to support incoming guests with essential products and services.
