So, we finally got our course outline which I suppose is useful information, but I'm more of take it as it comes kinda guy. Anyway, the course content looks quite interesting and I do look forward to lerning alot and giving a lil input here and there as the class progresses.
As much as I would rather be doing this everyday instead of attending classes...I rather enjoy these INFO 1400.




We're soon going to be shown the big picture as it concerns information and it's applications in business. Today we dealt with the fact that Data must be processed. True because if you just had data, you'd be lost as to what to do with it. So data must be processed so the user can make sense of it. When it was mentioned that the baking company in Trinidad (You know which one I'm talking about) is investing in GPS technology to track their routes/deliveries etc, one of my favorite cable tv commercials came to mind. It's the one from the Sprint Telephone company where they're using the GPS technology to track the location of their people. This new guy walks into the room and sees the other employees talking to those on the field using walkie talkies and moving them to different locations. Every time the employees on the field moved, represented by 'dots' on the computer screen, this would amaze the new employee. He asked them what they were doing and they told him, etc. So in a playful manner, he said, "Make them go left!" They replied, "No! The dots are busy. We don't agitate the dots!" The manager (who by the way, comes out of the room eating cake....hmm...so typical) says, "Who's agitating my dots?! You agitating my dots?" Ok, if you don't think this is funny. You just have to see the commericial to see how funny it really is.
