I haven't been feeling all that well this week. So I'm a little behind schedule on my work. I really enjoyed coming up with a unique e-business. I think my idea of a custom online florists is a good idea. It allows people to be creative and let their creative juices flow when they want to send flowers. I think if a person can customized the flowers they want to send out, it puts a special touch on it. It also makes it more exciting for the person trying to design the arrangment. They get a first look of their own floral creation, picking the colors and flowers, and even picking the ribbon color, vase shape and size and so much more. I had a lot of fun coming up with this idea.
I'm hoping that no one else has come up with such an idea. I did some searching on google and couldn't find anything, so maybe I am in luck. I really wan't to continue to get full credit on my work each week. :)
-This is Jade signing off. Good night.

ITEC 610 Week 4
Class is continuing to get very interesting. I'm shocked we are doing a mini-project that has to do with twitter. I think this class is fun. I guess it's easy when you already have a general knowledge of some of the topics discussed in class.
I really like the idea a classmate had about streaming HD-TV over the internet. I think this would be an instant hit since most people already view tv shows on their computer. I think streaming HD-TV shows over the internet will cause people to stop buying big screen tv's. Many people already use their computer a lot more than their tv's so it makes a lot of sense. I sometimes go days without using my tv because I can look a recent episodes of shows on my computer. If they ever have HD-TV over the computer and even live, that will be great. Maybe someone is already working on this.
I commented on the wireless LANs and mobile technology conference. I think both are great because it allows people to have instant access to the world. What human doesn't like instant gratification? Since these types of technology allows people to access information from anywhere at the palm of your hands, its bound to grow and become more competitive. People are always looking for the latest and greatest technology to give them instant and fast access to information.

ITEC 610 Week 3
I am so excited that I got an early start on my homework this week. I hope to keep this going for the rest of the semester. I was happy I could provide some information on how "data at rest" can be protected. Many of the discussion board topics I have some general knowledge of. One of my other classmates mentioned off-site backups, and for some reason I thought Lockheed was the only company that did that. I know how naive can I be? I'm happy to know that other companies use similar strategies to solve common security issues with different technologies.
I'm glad we had a mini-3 project with respect to zillow.com. The website has changed a lot since the last time I've used it, which was at least two years ago. It seems they have made some upgrades to the site to make it more user friendly and it seems they have made it easier to access information. I still think that homedatabase.com is a better website for a consumer that is looking for homes in the DC Metro area, because it gets all its information straight from the MLS or property records. I'm still not sure what I want to do my group project assignment on, but I will post some of my ideas once I think of a few. Right now its still early in the week and my mind is starting to drift toward Game 3 of the NBA finals. :)

ITEC 610 Week 2
Class this week has been fun. I am still trying to come up ideas for my mini-project on how technology will be in 10 years. I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure which way I will let my creative juices flow. I enjoyed reading how my other classmates responded to the discussion boards. I was intrigued when I learned that there is more than one type of virtualization. The only one that I had some familiarity with was VMWare. I was happy that another classmate knew something about VMWare. I guess VMWare is more popular than I realized, and Lockheed isn’t the only company that uses it.
I also commented on the Technology Refresh discussion thread. I agree that that refresh of technology in a corporation should be based on whether the company needs the hardware and/or software updates. At first I was thinking that companies should try to stay ahead of the curve and update its technology before it’s actually really needed, but after reading some of my other classmate’s threads, I am starting to see that it could sometimes cause more harm than good to update technology too early. I now think it’s best to wait until substantive testing has been done on the new hardware and software before an organization decides to upgrade. Also, companies need to also think about how the new technology may affect existing technology currently being used already in the company.
