2. I believe that there needs to be stricter penalties against the people who are hacking. This needs to be treated as a crime, with sever penalties and jail time. This will hopefully slow down the thought process that people have when hacking.
3. Cyber security is quickly becoming one of the main concerns with corporations. Corporations that…[Read more] -

1. I believe that the opening of the App Store in 2008 was the most important event in regards to the mobile applications. This event gave Apple a great source of revenue. Also it opened the possibility of mobile apps and developers to enter the mobile market on a large scale.
2. My most used apps are the music apps. I like the radio apps…[Read more] -

I am not a real big shopper to begin with and I really never do any online shopping. I am not really sure why but I always just go to the store to buy something, so for me human interaction plays apart into the purchase. I believe that if stores would focus more on this and make shopping more of an experience then they may do better compared to…[Read more]

Very good article about the topic in the chapters. I do as well believe that it would be smart for Amazon to start their own shipping services soon. They have an abundance of capital and they like many other companies based online need to be ever adapting, and a great way to adapt is to become more tangible for them or a brick and mortar type of…[Read more]

I do not work in a company that has a SAP. I work for a small family business and I am trying to implement new technologies, information and strategies into the company. I believe that a SAP would be great in the company that I am in because at times we are very out of date with the entire ordering and shipping out process. For your second…[Read more]

I think that rule #2 is the most important, because that is a main goal in any business, and one that successful businesses have and unsuccessful businesses do not have. When you get a Coca-Cola you know exactly what you are going to get. Having a clear and concise brand may be harder in different industries but I believe it is something that is…[Read more]

Apple is not the only company that is changing the world in the technology industry, IBM has created a super computer that goes by the name of Watson. Watson is not only a winner on the show jeopardy it is now […]
Great article about what is coming and about a big player in the IT marketspace! I think the article does a great job in giving us a picture of what Watson is capable of and what some of the pitfalls are – I liked this quote: “The large players, like IBM and Oracle, unable to adjust quickly enough to a world changing at breakneck speed, will see bits of their business intelligence market stripped away by smaller, more agile competitors.”
I admit to relying on technology in my daily life and I am interested in its different uses, however, I believe that it should have its limits. There are predictions that a super computer will be invented within our lifetimes that will exceed all the brainpower of humans on Earth combined. When thinking this over, it seems completely unnecessary to me because I think society should be more focused on developing their own minds rather than trying to create a computer with one. The subject also reminds me of the movie I, Robot in which a super computer tries to take over society. After watching that movie, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable with people taking technology too far. It also takes a lot of time, effort, and money to create a super computer, so I can’t see anything like Watson becoming a huge influence anytime in the near future.
