PODCASTING :OPTION FOR BUSY LECTURERS

Parts of the file adapted from iphone.appleinsider.com for FAIR USE

Tired of cases where lecturers dont show up after preparing for the classes?Are you a lecturer and want to migrate from analogue to digital lecturing?Well , Biznerati got you covered.
    All you need is the use of podcasts.A Podcast is a digital audio file that can be automatically downloaded from the internet once the user subscribes.This digital audio file could be an online radio show or even business. Podcasts have proved a success for bloggers and most 'underground' radio shows.All you need is to get a podcasting host and your tools.Getting started with podcasting for more info..This is just similar to starting your show and the audience in this case is your students.
   All you will need are to get you (Tools of podcasting) started and all the students will be  required to subscribe (under the RSS Feed button) and once you publish a podcast it will automatically get downloaded into your audience(your students) smartphone.Your podcast should strictly contain only the intended topic in the particular unit designated to the  lecturer. This system of lecture can be set up to
help students replay, revisit and revise from past lectures(past podcasts) which can be retrieved from your phone's file explorer.
    However,one caveat though.Not all students have smartphones and this tends to advantage those who have smartphones.But i'm sure this is the way to go.If you are a lecturer who always has a busy schedule,podcasting  is the way to go.

FUTURE OF WEARABLES

ECG.COM

What does the future hold for wearables?Will wearables replace smartphones in the coming future??Well,I dont know about you but to me wearables will never replace smartphones because they always work in cahoots  most of the time and its very difficult to pull a huge smartphone consumer  base to  unknown (the wearable technology).
    Last night as i was in my ritual internet adventure,i came across a report on how consumers dump their  wearables after 6 months use.With  that kind of attitude do you think the wearables will replace the smartphones?(chuckles) .But why are consumers(wearables consumers) dumping their wearables after 6 months shy of use?Well,i tend to  think that  the only reason is that the consumers raise eyebrows over the amount of privacy breach by the wearables.Do you know that wearables can collect anonymous amount of your data and to make it worse this data can be harvested and sold?This reminds me of the samsung smart tv voice recognition feature  that allegedly spy (eavesdroops)on you and whatever happens to the illegally  harvested data only samsung  knows plus the speech-to-text conversion company.
    Weaables like Google Glass can harvest lots of data.Who would want a device that  breaches your privacy?I think that's why most wearables get dropped after 6 months of use.Talking of getting dropped,Did you read about the brain-altering wearable that tweaks and torques your mood on demand?This is crazy.I mean who'd allow some wearable to electrocute their neural system in the name of tweaking your mood.Who got the  guts though?
   However,on  the brighter  side,Wearables are the holy grail in  the health care system.Though,not enforced in many  health care systems worldwide,Wearables are the next game changer in the health world.Like for example,the H2 wearables that monitors your blood pressure in real time (20s).The smartband is paired with an online dashboard for managing the data it captures.Now this is a win win scenario for both physicians and patients.This device assists the patient take care of his or her wealth and she or he can manage it at the comfort of her or his house.Now one screaming thing about this device is that it monitors  your activity.Kinda privacy invasion but what do i know?
    Will wearables replace smartphones?NO.Will wearables game change the health care system.OH YES !!But only if leaders in the country understand the impact of the wearables like H2 in the health care system and do the neccesary.

HILLBILLY FUTURE

IMAGE USED FOR FAIR USE

A HILLBILLY as defined by NEW YORK JOURNAL refers to a free and untrameled white citizen of ALABAMA,One who resides in the hills,dresses carefree and one who fires a revolver as the fancy
takes him. A Hillbilly is a merge of two words.. hill refers to a hill and billy refers to comrade which translates to a hill comrade.Upto this age , there are people who live inside the forest and
derogatory environment characterized by poor
houses and poor living standards.They usually
hunt for wild animals for their food and always
play hillbilly music. Remember the horror film WRONG TURN?G REAT!!LET'S BEGIN.
       Last week biznerati went on a research spree on the term.Found out the term got its major breakthrough following the American civil war. It was during this reign that the appalachian region stayed marginalised while other parts witnessed major 'facelifts'.Then came the Year of the Great Depression when many mountaineers left their homes to find work in other areas of the country
but the appalachians refused to move and remained in the mountains till today.
      Since then the hillbilly has been stereotyped and has even
been used as a racial slur on poor whites.One of the issues associated with stereotypes is that it is profitable.The same case applies to
hillbillies and entrepreneurs see this as a window for potential revenue.For instance,film makers
have 'recycled' the image and brought it to life through thrillers.Just like THE WRONG TURN
1,2,3,4,5,6).Wrong turn recycled the hillbilly history and brought it out.Remember the Inbred mutant
cannibal hillbillies on the movie.Well played.The film potrayed the hillbilly with both derogatory personality and derogatory environment.

   If you are familiar with w rong turn ,then you are a witness to the derogatory attitude that has been
inflicted by the film industry on the race.The type that is exhibited on the film is the inbred mutant
hillbilly cannibal,and this is how they came about." Long time ago,there were families that lived in
the forest(today's hillbillies)All was well till the pulp mill shut down and the poison emitted killed all the wildlife,the only source of food for the hillbillies.As a result all the families in the forest evacuated the area except for one family.The
family later got affected by the chemicals from the pulp mill and it's side effects a year later become a sad reality which would see the whole family and the coming generation have deformed
ugly faces and body parts.On the lighter note,thegeneration would see strong hillbillies that would
never die easily. THE ORIGIN OF HILLBILLIES IN
WRONG TURN SERIES
    Film makes and also moguls always cash in on the stereotype(hillbilly).Should the hillbillies be discriminated?
Well,this a debate and biznerati raised this question and there were varied reactions with almost 80% spitting vitriol." At this age,how can
one live in the forest with a 'semi-naked house'??Fumed one of those i managed to reach for answers.While another one was against
discrimination "I believe every citizen has a right to stay where he or she feels like,". I tend to think
that hillbillies chose not be associated with American community and choose to be
conservative of their culture.
But why are the hillbillies choosing to have such a lifestyle in a civilized country?Is there a secret
they are hiding?(heard of an incest case).Till when they will migrate from the hills/mountains,the stereotype will continue being used
for profitability amongst film makers and moguls and also give anthropologists a case to study.

ATM MONETIZATION A GAME CHANGER IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY

Have you been to an ATM recently?Noticed any changes?YES!Its because banks are monetizing their ATM networks in a strategy called ATM targeted marketing.
   Targeted marketing is an excellent way to turn the ATM network into a conversion generation tool . In fact, quite a few banks started to target customers and non-customers on their ATM’s successfully. ATM targeted marketing is one way
of monetizing ATM networks while offsetting banking operational expenses.Though the targeted interactive marketing  is  picking up slowly ,i can assure you this is the ultimate gamechanger in the history of banking.


MERITS OF THE ATM TARGETED MARKETING

•Banks can now craft successful campaigns through the technology like the campaign above requiring customers to acquire the new debit card and its working so far.
•Acquire new customers by the contact that is feedbacked by the new customers while on the p.o.f

•Banks can sell other products through the interactive technology

•Banks can get feedback from the targeted customers to which the banks can utilize on such info


    However,ATM targeted marketing needs to be executed with caution if you may ask for an advice from me. Why?Because the consumer is at the ATM for a very short period of time and for a very specific purpose(withdraw money), so here are some tips to a successful ATM targeted marketing.
•The message should be short and precise so as to reduce the transaction time over the ATM.It should be short and precise to get to the mind of the targeted customers and get digested in a span of second or 30s.The shorter and more precise it is,the more  a lead is likely to be generated.

•Consumer experience should be key or rather top most priority.If the consumer experience is affected then the bank is doomed .First time,i felt distracted by the screen like so many targeted messages were blinking on the screen.I wasn't comfortable at all.I felt like this interactive message was invading my privacy at the atm.

•Bankers should always diversify their interactive messages just to test which method generates more leads.They can use call to action buttons and many others rather than just relying on one.
     ATM targeted marketing still has a long way to go.As per now,this technology is beneficial to the banks as it offsets the banks operational expenses.This is a sitting cash cow.How i wish more banks could embrace this technology in the right way.
