Welcome to the "What's News in IS Technology?" current events activity introduction. For the next eight weeks, you will report on topics relating to "Current Events with New Technologies in Information Systems."

To complete the current event activity, perform research utilizing resources such as the Internet, magazine publications, newspapers, and journals on a current event that illustrates the implementation of a new IS technology. This technology should have played or a significant role or created a competitive advantage for an enterprise. Summarize the details and implications of the reports in your own words, and reflect on how such technology was used to improve the functional or operational process in current business practices.

Select your current event for this module, keeping in mind the topics presented in this week's module and your Research Project. Evaluate, synthesize and summarize the data obtained from your research on your selected current event. The information that you utilize to construct your summary data must relate to events that are newsworthy and currently in the media.

The data that you create may prove to be useful information that can support your Research Project findings.
