Disruptive Innovation: Change Powered By Android

In the traditional brick-and-mortar world of higher education, the percentage of students enrolling in courses is increasing every year. Students and lifelong learners are able to view entire curriculum online from schools like Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard. Blackboard Collaborate is an online platform (available on Android devices) with a robust conferencing feature. Students can tune-in to class live on their mobile phone, ask questions, raise their hand, and take real time polls. So if you can’t make class, catch the meeting later on your mobile device. Simplicity and accessibility is the answer: colleges that do not adopt similar technologies are losing both tuition dollars and authority in global learning.

Disruptive innovation, such as Climote, forever changes the way we heat and cool our homes. Climote lets you control the climate of your home from anywhere at anytime. Walking home in a sudden hailstorm? Crank the heat up using a simple swipe on this Android-powered application. All it takes is a 30 minute “fuss free installation” to replace your old time-clock climate control with the Climote HUB. Certainly, this is not the only Android product on the market that does this. Never before have people been able to remotely control the temperature in real time – what does it mean for traditional heating systems? Don’t be surprised if this technology quickly goes from “futuristic feature” to the standard operating procedure.
