Facebook Buying a Drone Company Will Benefit Brands

Keeping up with social media is something Christy Ferer loves to do. It was recently reported that Facebook is considering buying a drone company in order to bring Internet access to people all over the world who don’t already have it. Facebook is looking to spend $60 million on Titan Aerospace, which makes huge unmanned aerial vehicles. Zuckerburg said in an interview with CNN last year that Facebook had a “rough plan for what we think we’re going to need to do” in order to bring 5 billion more people online.

Carplay Will be a Huge Hit for Apple

Apple recently announced a new iPhone-to-automobile integration system called CarPlay. By syncing your iPhone with your car, Carplay lets you take phone calls, send texts and emails, and play music while driving. Siri is used to control native iPhone apps and a few third party apps. Christy Ferer thinks it is interesting to note that CarPlay wont work with Google Maps. It appears that Apple is very careful about their competitors when it comes to building their brand. The Vidicom teams thinks this new system will be a huge hit for Apple as more people will want an iPhone in order to have CarPlay. What are your thoughts?
