Week 3 - Software

In lecture last week, the basics of a computer and its software was discussed. The lecture provided the opportunity see into the machinery that many are attached to daily. Being able to learn more about the foundation, allowed myself to see the more technical aspects and provide more reality to my entrepreneurial idea.

For example, take the iTunes' App Store. Most early applications were created by professional software developers but now almost anyone can create an app in the store. This creates a competition and many professional lose out on the free apps. In class, the example of Linux emerging as competition Windows and Mac proves a similar testimonial.

My entrepreneurial idea deals with creating an device that tests the health of your Laptop computer. With a newfound knowledge of software basics, the class was able to see how complicated and intricate the computer system is and what it takes to run properly and efficiently. With technology constantly changing and getting better, I want to develop a device where you can take the health of your own technology into your care. I want the device to access the life of your computer and be able to tell your what you need to fix. There is no sales pitch or inexperienced staff but the answer right there. It is your choice to then decide if you want professional help or the ability to buy the proper software remedies to fix the issue and prolong the life.
