When I was over Amy’s home for Easter, her husband gave me two maps, one of California and one of Los Angeles. I was so glad. Victoria gave me a good idea: to customize my own map to remind myself of all my trips and memories. There are many apps to create a travelogue or interactive maps with pictures. But it’s cool to have a craft map, an original and unique map. Then they talked about the guides and maps of Michelin. Apparently, the French brand is always considered as the best travel maps editor. But Americans also have their own and surprising maps, like Weedmaps. In the website you can find the storefront “Hollyweed”. Very fun and unexpected for a French tourist. Today is the 420 Games, a festival and athletic competition founded by Jim Alpine to “de-stigmatizing” millions of responsible positive cannabis users. It’s legal in the USA for medical purposes.
Victoria showed me the article on the magazine Eventmarketer. We found another article about artificial intelligence and how companies have experimented robots in their customer service. The robot was created by Lowe’s Innovation Labs. He is able to drives stores, collect data, talk to customers, respond to gestures, search for products and take inventory. It was experimented in Hilton Mclean hotel in Virginia. Hotel guests could ask questions in many languages to the robot concierge working at the desk front. But the journalist mentioned that this very special concierge can’t check in guests... yet.
