I really like starting out each class with the technology news reports. Partly because one, I'm fascinated with the new and innovative things people are inventing, that are changing our world; and two, it's fun to hear about the crazy and pointless inventions that really have no real purpose, except to look and sound cool. I was nervous giving my report on Hulu, but I think it's something that will only get easier each time I do it.
The third case with Sew What? reminded me a lot of my dad's small business. He created a website for his tower crane insurance business, but I haven't ever asked if he thinks it actually helps bring in new customers. He has asked me to help him with some marketing plans and I think that after this class, maybe I'll be more knowledgeable with the computer and help him expand his business.
I never thought of the human body system as a cybernetic system, but after learning about this system, it makes sense now.

ReplyDeleteYes, giving tech news reports gets easier as you see how much fun you can have with me and your classmates...keep looking for cool news tidbits...
RE your father's business--what can his clients/prospective clients do on his website? What would attract them there and keep them coming back?
On the website, clients and prospective clients can view a wide variety of products from general liability to worker compensation. It also gives information about crane and rigging and what they specialize in and the programs that the company offers. The website has enough information to be informative, but by not being too wordy and redundant.
ReplyDeleteI talked to my dad about it and he said that the website is not productive at all. He doesn't gain any new clients from it. Knowing this now, I think that is something that his company should really work on so it can finally start to be efficient and effective.
