My research topic at the start of the year had to do with telecommunications and AI along with the future of technology. I have since realized that these topics are pretty broad. I am currently working to narrow down what I want to research. I am still focusing on telecommunications, but not really with how AI will interact with it. My research topic now will be more focused on the speed of wireless communications and the new ideas to make connections faster all over the world. Some examples of telecommunications engineering I want to research is Multiuser MIMO communication and Quantum communications. Both technologies are looking to improve the speed and overall quality of telecommunications.

To aid my research, I have come up with some broader questions, as well as some more specific ones:

• How has multi-user connections been able to help organizations that need multiple connections to one network?
• Have new innovations in the telecommunications field been effective for speed and ease of access?
• Will the telecommunications field drastically change as new innovations for wireless connections are implemented?

These questions will help me with my research into telecommunications and how new innovations are being implemented.

The only research that I have done on new telecommunications innovations has just been some basic articles that I have found with a simple search on google. I used this to try and pinpoint something I could use for a more robust search in the future. To begin my research for our final project I will definitely be using computer source to find some articles. I used this database for the assignment earlier this semester where reviewed an article related to our major. I will also use Communication & Mass Media Complete to find some articles. This data base is great to narrow down search results and find an article specifically for informatics. Lastly, I will use Information Science Collection database. I have not used this database in the past, but after looking through it and getting a feel for it, I think that it will be a great tool for me to find work related articles.
