                     In module 4 we looked at the law of entropy in technology. This states that all technologies trend toward disaster, and ultimately their downfall. As a product develops, the entropy or amount of disaster increases. What we also discussed was the S-Curve Model and paradigm shifts. In my blog today I will cover how entropy, the S-Curve Model, and paradigm shifts relate to UX Design.  S-CurveModel (Figure 1. Typical Technology S-Curve., n.d.)                 I will begin this blog by talking about how UX design can be connected to entropy, I will talk about what we covered about the S-Curve Model and the paradigm shift. The S-Curve Model is used to visualize the entropy of a product. Simply put, it is a chart that shows the rate of the trend for a product, or really anything. Beginning with the introduction of it, then moving to the growth, next the maturity or development of the product before finally coming to the decline and downfall of what it is describing.      

              (6D's of Exponential Growth Video By Peter Diamandis)                In module 3 of Technology for leading and learning, we discussed Ray Kurzweil’s Law of Accelerating Return. This law, simply put, states that technology further advances itself by pushing its limits and revamping the linear way we see change and development. This is measured in stages known as the 6D’s, created by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler, which is what we covered in class. These 6D’s are digitization, deception, disruption, demonetization, dematerialization, and democratization. I found a video on YouTube directly from Peter Diamandis describing the 6D's of Exponential Growth. I feel it is very thorough and gives good examples. This is what my blog will be about today.                                                                                      (See the references to view image (6Ds-Peter-Diamands.Jpg (960×720), n.d.)              The first ‘D’, digitization, is essentially the

         We covered three topics in  module 2 of my Tech For Leading and Learning Class. The 3R study method, Moore's Law, and Adobe Creative Cloud. Simplistically, the 3R study method is a method to better comprehend readings for things such as books, articles, magazines, etc. Moore's Law is a law that basically predicts the growth rate of technologies in our society. And we used Adobe Creative Cloud to learn how to edit photos. I will talk deeper about these topics learned in Module 2.           (3Rs image made by me in Adobe Creative Cloud)           To look deeper into the 3R study method, I'll give a quick summary of what it is and what it states. The 3R method is used to quickly comprehend readings you have been assigned. The 3Rs are research, read, and reflect. First, research. You must find information about what you are being assigned. This is done by searching Google, YouTube, Google Scholar, and other databases with information. For example, if I was assigned to
