Yesterday, Nov 24th 2011, My friends & I went to Binus International in Senayan City to join the seminar about Innovation. What’s so appealing from the seminar?? It was the speaker who came from Microsoft Indonesia and Google Indonesia. I said to myself : “Woow..!! How can I miss such big opportunity as an IT student. I’m so glad to have the opportunity, Thanks God :)
Ok, continue…
There were 4 of us and we went there by taxi from Binus Anggrek. The seminar was planned to begin at 9 AM but it actually began at 9.30 AM. In that thirty minutes, Binus International provided Coffee Break. We enjoyed the Coffee Break, it was delightful..
At 9.30 AM we’re allowed to enter the seminar room already. The room is not so big but it is very cozy. 4 of us sat in the front row. Beside we from Binus Anggrek, the participants also came from Binus International Students and The Lecturers. Then the seminar began..
The first session was brought by Microsoft Indonesia. The speaker was Ms Chrisma Albandjar – Director of Corporate Affairs Microsoft Indonesia and her partner Mr Ferro Ferizka – Microsoft IT. The title was Microsoft: Innovation for Future. In the talk, Ms Chrisma explained about what innovation is, Microsoft’s approach for innovation, Intellectual Property Rights, Steps for Innovation, etc. In the end of her presentation, she showed us the video of Microsoft’s Future Health Vision. It is such an amazing video that made me speechless.. (Man..!! awesome!! 4 thumbs up).
Next, it was Mr Ferro’s turn to give presentation about one of Microsoft’s Innovation which is Kinect. Kinect has been officially recorded in Guiness World Book of Records as The Fastest-Selling Consumer Electronic Device. Apparently Kinect can also be used in computer, not only for Xbox. Kinect is being called as NUI (Natural User Interface) where user can give command just like how they act naturally. Kinect was embedded with software, so you can program the Kinect as you wish. In that occasion, Mr Fero programmed the Kinect so he just needed to wave his hand and the slide will go to the next page. There are many implementations of Kinect and you can find the examples in google ;)
The last was Google’s turn. The speaker was Mr Henky Prihatna as Indonesia’s Country Consultant for Google. The title was Innovation with Google. In his presentation, he shared about Internet Fact, Google’s notions of innovation and told us Google’s New Innovation which are Google+ and Chrome OS. What is Google+? It is the new social networking media launced by Google. And about Chrome OS? It is an innovative Operating System created by Google. He also showed us the videos.
Ahh.. So Innovative, amazing companies.
The last session was Q&A and I managed to ask one question hehehe…
The seminar ended at 11.30 AM. After the seminar, we took pictures with Ms Chrisma and Mr Henky. One more favorable thing is that Binus International provided lunch, we were so grateful and had lunch before we went home.
It was such a great day, and happy day. Love the seminar!
