On a Wednesday morning in mid-October, over 70 Ponce community members participated in our Coffee Talk: Programming Your Industry to discuss the impact of technology on our everyday lives over complimentary Chick-fil-A coffee and biscuits.
From devices to data storage platforms and everything in between, technology plays a huge role in many elements of our work days. As attendees with varying levels of tech experience stopped by, we gained a better understanding of how our colleagues and constituents in the tech realm have become digital pioneers – and how it affects everyone.
For instance, in a conversation with Dr. Jay Patel from Azura, we brainstormed ways that technology could positively impact the healthcare system. The primary example that Dr. Patel gave was an application/system that provides transportation to differently-abled patients. Meanwhile, Fatima Sallah, a student at the Emory School of Nursing, said "I live for new advances in technology and how to improve my day-to-day life.”
Whether it’s MedTech, programming, or graphic design, for example, these areas all involve technology. So we asked our participants how they specifically use technology in their work lives and what areas of technology they are most interested in learning about:
And it comes as no surprise that nearly the entire tenant population uses technology daily – in one way or another!
