Life without IT

Father, you generally state, â€Å"Ah†¦back then when I was a lil' boy†¦there were no PCs, mobile phones or computer games. Tsk! You youthful fellows have all of them now, eh? We kids in those days needed to send letters, needed to tune in for our moms' call to eat, and we were fit and in great shape! Humph! You simply don't have a clue how much fun you are missin'†¦Ã¢â‚¬  My, my, here we go once more. What did I say about those â€Å"when I was a lil' boy† stories! Please father! You're so old school! Genuinely father, in what capacity can you live without data innovation? Presently it's viewed as a fundamental need to have messages and sites, and have the option to call, content and access anybody and anything consistently. Envision how urgent you would be on the off chance that you intentionally went out with no advances within reach. Only for one great day†¦I wager you'll presumably weep for help. Alright, OK. That may be bit of overstating, yet at the same time, you'll be edgy; trust me. PCs, PDAs (well, also computer games) supplanted life as we was already aware it. Is there any turning around? No chance! They've just guaranteed the whole age. Going back to the 1450s, for what reason did Johann Gutenburg concoct the mobile metal printing process? All things considered, to begin the Printing Evolution and make printing books a hit! For what reason did Alexander Graham Bell develop the phone? Clearly, to make it a lot simpler for us to speak with one another over significant distances! The entirety of the innovations we see and use today are critical to us.

However, since we live in the â€Å"Information Age†, data innovation has become a piece of our regular daily existences, and we should concede that it truly improves our nature of living. We should live our lives with data innovation and acknowledge new things or we'll be stone age men. So father, how would you like your I-Pad I purchased for you? Cool, eh? Could it be any more obvious? I let you know so; you can't overlook and oppose the new age of I.T.!

Maybe Im Amazed

Maybe I’m Amazed DID YOU KNOW? All the giant robot fighting clips in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are really just clips from some unrelated Japanese show. The reason that they keep changing to Power Rangers: Zeo or Power Rangers: Light Speed Rescue or whatever is because they run out of clips from one season of the Japanese show and have to switch to a new season of the show with new giant robots fighting. Wow, its been a while! Wow, Ive been saying that at the beginning of basically every single blog entry in recent memory. Anyway, I learned in high school that excuses are like dirty underwear: we all have them and they all stink, and also you can use them again if you turn them inside out. But the point is: no excuses. So Ill just apologize for being derelict in my blogging over the past few months and get right down to business. Whats happened since you last heard from your hero? Well, lots! I took 10.391: Sustainable Energy and learned that were all doomed! DOOMED. I was admitted to four graduate schools. I delivered something like 8 or 9 Valentines Day band-o-grams on the slushiest day of the past decade. I helped teach Susan Hockfield how to play Wii Tennis. But by far the most awesome thing I did since the year 2007 began was almost auditioning for The Amazing Race 12. Oh man, I just checked that site and saw that JVJ got eliminated first on The Amazing Race: All Stars! Okay, now Im definitely not watching. Unfortunately, even after a year and a half of blogging, I still dont qualify as an star, so I was stuck going to auditions for the star-free season 12. My local CBS affiliate, WHP-CBS, was holding auditions at the Harrisburg East Mall, which is like 5 minutes away from my house unless youre driving a car that Im navigating, in which case it takes like 20 minutes. But The Amazing Race has always been my absolute favorite reality show, and it was one of only two shows that I could make time to watch during my first two years at MIT. So, really, how could I resist? I called up my beloved high school friend Shanasince she spent an entire semester of her undergraduate studies in Cameroon learning how to be a global citizen, I figured that something like eating live octopus in South Korea or caber tossing in the Scottish highlands would be absolutely no problem for her. Our first step was filling out the application, which in and of itself was pretty awesome. The first question was like, How did you meet your partner? I was kind of stuck at that, but Shana instantly replied, In a spelling bee! referring to our showdown in the final rounds of the 5th grade spelling bee at Herbert Hoover Elementary School. So we went with that. According to Shana, the most difficult moment in our relationship was the outcome of that spelling bee, although I dont think we actually spoke again for like another two years. Although maybe thats why! But we knew that Former Spelling Bee Winner and Runner-Up wouldnt sound that impressive among a field of contestants that has included Friends/Professional Circus Clowns, Beauty Queen/Former POW and Dating 12 Years/Virgins. We decided to call ourselves the really judgmental team, and listed some of our hobbies as bickering like old Jewish yentls and making fun of other people on camera. I mean, what better way to get on a reality show? However, Sams Mom convinced us that this would probably be a bad idea, so instead we just decided to be college graduates who needed the money to pay back all of our student loans. Although, really, thanks to MITs generous need-based financial aid, I really dont have as much to pay back as youd expect. My favorite two questions on the survey were probably What famous personality do you remind yourself of? and What famous personality does your partner remind you of? Shana put down Madonna (sanctimonious, but ultimately good at heart) and Benjamin Franklin (also, he invented bifocals), while I wrote down Ian McKellen (flamboyant but totally bad-ass) and Patti Smith (except without the heroin addiction). I mean, seriously, how could you deny a team composed of Patti Smith/Madonna and Ian McKellen/Benjamin Franklin? So the auditions started at 10 AM, but Shana had some things to do that morning with her sister before she headed back to college in Baltimore. I value family togetherness more than one million dollars, so we decided not to get there until around 11 AM. Anyway, Sams Mom probably wouldnt have let us get there at 5 AM (Sam, people get shot in that parking lot.), so I really had no qualms about the fact that we didnt show up until around 11:20. As we were walking in to the mall, we noticed two people walking out with matching purple custom-made American Apparel t-shirts that had their names on them and a crest proudly stating, WINNERS OF THE AMAZING RACE 2007. So, you know, even these people did not get into the three-minute-long audition room until a full hour after auditions started. That should have been our first clue, really. So the Harrisburg East Mall is not even the main mall in Harrisburg, PAnobody really goes there anymore except to the Bass Pro Shop, the Chick-Fil-A closed down, and, as Sams Mom noted, people get shot in the parking lot. So I wasnt expecting people to come out to this little podunk mall from farther than, say, York. Or maybe, well, Scranton. When we got into the mall, we noticed that, quite in contrast to the usual patronage, there was now a massive line spanning the entire length of the mall and also going through some stores. Hmm. So we walked the entire length of the mall and settled back into what must have been the 787th and 788th places in line. Since my mutant power is eavesdropping on conversations, I noticed that most of the discussion back in this part of the line was confined to Hmm, I wonder how many people are in line? and If it takes 3 minutes to do an audition, they will probably get done with 15 teams of 2 per hour. and That means it will take them 8 hours to get to us. and I wonder if theyll be staying longer than 3 PM to accommodate everyone. Upon closer listening, I found that the people behind us were from State College, and they were trying to get here 3 hours ago, but they got lost. The people behind them had a similar experience, except they were from Cleveland, Ohio and drove all night to get here in time. So I think about 15 minutes later Shana and I decided that this just wasnt going to work out this time, but we resolved to stay for about an hour for the sake of staying the course, by which we really meant so we could watch funny people. And, oh, did we get an opportunity for that. I counted at least two dozen tie-dye shirts (seriously, people, there was already a Rupert), and about 30 minutes after we walked in another group entered wearing full Native American tribal regalia. I can only hope that they didnt drive around for 6 hours in that. We saw girls who had a really cute audition video ready try to bribe their way to the front of the line, and scores of bored-looking security guards and disgruntled Payless Shoe Store workers. But probably our favorite group was the team directly in front of us, who were carrying two large picture frames that they kept, very secretively, face-to-face so that no other team could see what was inside. Shana and I spent the whole 80 minutes we were in line guessing as to what could possibly be in the framespictures of their dead grandparents? Portraits of Phil Keoghan they had drawn themselves? The first dollars they ever earned? Finally, when we abandoned our amazing dreams (we reached an athletic shoe store called Finish Line and took it as a message from some higher power) Shana decided to ask exactly what prop they had brought with them, Well, one of them clarified as his girlfriend walked up and put her arm around him, were from Schenectady, New York and we majored in geography in college, so we brought our degrees with us, because what will they ever be good for except for The Amazing Race?! Ha ha ha! Wait, youre leaving. We just responded, Yeah, we live 5 minutes from h ere. Good luck! Bye. And really, I dont feel bad about leaving, because if anyone who auditioned in Harrisburg should get in, it should be the two geography majors from upstate New York who drove five hours to get there and then waited 8 hours despite a 600-person long line, especially because one of them was asian and theres really not enough diversity on reality television. Theyre pretty much better candidates than I am in every conceivable way. So if you see a half-Asian team of geography majors on The Amazing Race 12, youll know where they came from! Still, Shana and I didnt come out of the experience without an important life lesson. And that lesson was, Lots of crazy people want to be on TV, so probably every person you see on Survivor or The Amazing Race majorly changed their life around for at least 2 days just so they could get an audition. And that will just make me like The Amazing Race even more.

What I Listen For The Music - 2476 Words

Music, one element of life although altered, molded, and crafted has continued to strike the curiosity in our imagination from century to century. Music is an experience for everyone from the most musically devoted students and teachers to the concert audience and even the individuals simply listening to the radio throughout their daily activities.

This book written upon a, â€Å"compilation of lectures he had given at Manhattan’s New School for Social Res earch† defines the aspects of how we listen and evaluate music, what aspects of music we should analyze, how both as a combination create the aesthetic of music we enjoy as listeners (Copland vii). Copland’s introduction within the book includes his classification of three different perspectives that we as an audience tend to listen from, these classifications allow us to understand which perspective suits all of us individually.

IMPACT OF E-COMMERCE ON THE MALAYSIAN ECONOMY E-commerce is the new buzz word. With the advent of the Internet, the development of e-commerce in both the developed and developing economies has developed at a rapid pace. Developing countries such as Malaysia are catching up fast as there are already 1.2 million Internet users. The private sector and the Government have taken initiatives to implement e-commerce. Physical and legal infrastructure for e-commerce in Malaysia have been put in place. The rapid adoption of e-commerce in the developing economies in general and Malaysia in particular has been made possible by the rapid development and high investment in communication technology and infrastructure, cheaper cost of computers and†¦show more content†¦Reduced transaction costs benefit both consumer and producer. While consumers will gain access to a broad-based selection of lower priced goods, producers are likely to see higher demand for their products.Furthermore, in th e Internet age, people and firms will be connected with highly capable interactive capacity. Through the information highway, consumers will have free market choices, and firms will have almost unrestricted market access. This offers opportunities as well as poses threats to businesses. The impact of e-commerce can be traced at the industry and consumer levels. It can also be traced at the macroeconomy level. It is however important to note that the full impact of e-commerce on an economy depends on several factors such as the rate at which the economy adopts e-commerce.At the industry level, e-commerce will result in some rationalization of activities. Firms will need to undertake investment in an appropriate computer system to implement e-commerce. They will undertake new activities which are knowledge-intensive. Through the adoption of e-commerce, firms will demand for a new kind of workforce, particularly those with a higher level of computer literacy. This new demand will have an immediate and far-reaching implication on the provision of training in the country. Firms will be pre-occupied with technology selection and investment.

Accounting Information System Statistical and Finance

Question: Describe about the Accounting Information System for Statistical and Finance. Answer: Accounting Information System Accounting information system (AIS) is basically a subset of Management Information System (MIS). It is used for providing accurate financial and statistical information in a timely manner to managerial parties in order to assist them in the process of decision making. In present era use of AIS is not restricted to the financial field as it is also assisting manufacturing entities. The present study is focused on role and significance of AIS in manufacturing organisations. Role of AIS in the value chain of manufacturing organisation The major objective of manufacturing entities is to provide valuable products to their customers who are free from defects. These business entities are considered to be profitable if value creates by it higher than the cost of production (Reuter, Brambring Hempel, 2016). AIS adds value to manufacturing entities by providing accurate information in a timely manner by which five major value chain activities can be done in an effective manner. Timely information assists in sound decision making by which quality is improved and cost of production is reduced. Three major functions of AIS in manufacturing entity is as follows: Effective and efficient processing of data regarding transactions of company Provide information of managerial parties for making useful decisions through financial statements and managerial reports (Singh, 2013). To develop appropriate internal control by assuring that information is reliable, is in safe hand and able to satisfy objectives of management. AIS is able to provide inventory status, performance reports and budgets through which manufacturing activities can be effectively managed. Value is business is provided by performing a series of activities referred in the value chain. These activities are inclusive of primary as well as supportive activities (Prasad Green, 2015). Information technology has a significant impact on effectiveness and efficiency of preceding activities. It is because, value chain of manufacturing entity is directly connected to stakeholders such as distributors, suppliers and customers. Figure 1: Role of AIS in the value chain of manufacturing organisation (Source: Singh, 2013) Use of AIS in decision-making in a contemporary manufacturing organisation On the basis of above description, it can be said that there is the crucial role of AIS in manufacturing entities. Study of Christ Burritt (2015) shows that manufacturing enterprises are required to make strategies decision that have long-term impact on business. AIS assists in making valid and viable decisions by providing timely and accurate information in following forms Financial and economic forecasting: For future planning of business forecasting is required to be done by manufacturing enterprises. For this aspect, they are required to make predictions based on existing market conditions (Reuter, Brambring Hempel, 2016). Thus, for financial and economic forecasting appropriate information is required. In a situation where information is reliable, they businesses have to face heavy losses. In this aspect, AIS ensures that right information is available at the right time to the right person. Planning of funds: Huge funding is required by manufacturing entities for their daily operational activities. For this aspect, they are required to make the decision to obtain funds for a viable source to minimise In this aspect, AIS provide information regarding available options of financial sources and assist in making a comparative analysis of the same. Preparation of budgets: Budgets are prepared to plan the use of available sources in order to generate maximum profits. Accounting information system provides information for preparing this budgets on the basis of which strategies decision can be taken for making optimum utilisation of available resources. The decision regarding capital budgeting: Manufacturing concerns have various options for investments, but they are required to select a most optimum plan in order to strengthen the financial position of business (Christ Burritt, 2015). For this purpose, they are required to do a comparative analysis of available options which can be done by AIS effectively. AIS comprises inbuilt tools that assist in implementing investment appraisal techniques for high profits. Competitive advantage of using value chain in manufacturing organisation The value chain is influenced by porters concept that is directly connected to competitive advantages for business entities (Reuter, Brambring Hempel, 2016). Manufacturing entities are required to make decisions which have a direct impact on their competitive position in the market. In accordance with the Porter, value chain analysis can be used to develop effective strategies in order to attain competitive advantage. Figure 2: Porter's Generic value chain (Source: Strategic management, 2010) The objective of value chain activities is to offer the customer value that exceeds its cost in order to provide them benefit. These activities provide mainly two competitive advantages which are enumerated as below: Cost advantage: Manufacturing entity can attain cost advantage by making a reduction in the cost of individual activities or by it reconfiguration (Kaplan Atkinson, 2015). For this aspect, management of business organisations can conduct a cost analysis to the value chain activities. Cost advantage can be attained by controlling following drivers: Learning Geographical location Optimum utilisation of capacity Timing of market entry Institutional factors Policy for cost differentiation Timing Vertical integration Interrelationships and linkage among various activities Further, structural modifications can be made in the value chain to attain competitive advantage as it will improve the production process and develop new distribution channels. Differentiation: Benefit of differentiation can be attained through any part of value chain activity. For example procurement of inputs which are not utilised by competitors can be used for forming differentiation (Christ Burritt, 2015). It can develop distribution channels that will offer a high level of services. This approach will attract new customers and retain existing one. On the basis of the present study, the conclusion can be drawn that there is the significant role of AIS in manufacturing entities. AIS provides valuable information through which effective decisions can be made for the betterment of the business. It improves performance through implementing low-cost strategy and product differentiation strategy. It develops a better strategic position to generate synergy and growth.
