Universities want to recruit the students that they believe will best represent the university, both online and offline, while in school and beyond. Students with a robust social media presence and clearly defined personal brand stand to become only more influential. These students are positioned to become leaders in their respective fields, which will reflect positively on the university social communication word of thumb.

Apple says it can measure the distance to surrounding objects up to 5 meters away and operates "at the photon level at nano-second speeds."

Among Apple's existing features, LiDAR will have the biggest impact on augmented reality (AR) and Apple's own ARKit framework. Apple says the new LiDAR Scanner will allow for instant object placement, indicating that users wouldn't need to "scan" their environment before an AR app loads.

Apple also published a research paper in 2017 detailing LiDAR-based 3D object recognition systems for self-driving cars. Essentially, the system leverages the depth mapping of LiDAR and combines it with neural networks to vastly improve the ability of a self-driving car to "see" its environment and potential hazards.

Frequently referred to as crowdsourcing, and a darling of the Web 2.0 industry, it has recently come of age as the tools and marketplaces for on-demand work capacity on the network have expanded far beyond the early volunteer communities that originally proved out the concepts. These pioneers, which include the world of open source software and online services such as YouTube and Threadless, get most of their value from a large group of people or community through the simple use of an open invitation.

The reasons that a business would use crowdsourcing is varied. They include ability to offload peak demand, access to cheaper business inputs, generating better results, and tackling problems that would have been too difficult to do otherwise.

Yet we are trained to hold copyright as a natural right. People who infringe on copyright are labelled as pirates, thieves. We are told that they literally steal from hard-working creators.

Fourth myth: We know that copyright makes us collectively better off. The evidence points in the opposite direction. Germany had weak copyright laws up until the Copyright Act of 1901. Yet, maybe because of these weak laws, it became a literary and scientific power: (…), only 1,000 new works appeared annually in England at that time – 10 times fewer than in Germany – and this was not without consequences. Höffner believes it was the chronically weak book market that caused England, the colonial power, to fritter away its head start within the span of a century, while the underdeveloped agrarian state of Germany caught up rapidly, becoming an equally developed industrial nation by 1900.

Without copyright, authors would not get paid.

the majority of users still seem to prefer using public tools such as Facebook and LinkedIn than their corporate network. 

If you follow some of these tips however you can go some way to ensuring your internal network achieves the results you want.

The NCAA’s popular March Madness basketball tournament is annually a cause of groans from know-it-all fans who think they they could have done a better job of picking its teams. But this year via Facebook, the NCAA is giving fans a chance to show that they could, indeed, make better selections.

Ramos said that the Super 10 is the NCAA’s first major Facebook contest, but that the “marriage of sports and social media is a really strong one because of all the fan excitement that surounds sports.”

It’s interesting because Anchorman is about a newsman, and increasingly the news is getting their stories from what’s “trending” on social media. I think social is just going to continue to become more prominent in our society. You see it happening in very subtle ways but it’s common for newscasts these days to say what’s trending today. If someone has not fully bought into the power of social it’s just a matter of time because it’s really changing our culture. It’s changing the way news is reported and the way information is disseminated and the way that marketing is done.
