I agree with Dan on this one. To me, looking back on this course, the most important thing to take away is that businesses and problems should be thoroughly evaluated as a system.

I have only had it for roughly two weeks, but I was immediately appreciative of both the design and size of the phone, as well as many of the new features included with iOS 8.
