Google Atmosphere 2010

Dave Girouard , President , Enterprise, Google Inc.

The president starts off by talking about cloud computing, he calls it big and disruptive. I have no idea what it is but it has something to do with the apps. Dave uses an example that helped me understand it more. I believe that cloud computing is when you have your entire hard drive per say.
He gives an example of how he lost his entire computer but didn't lose anything from it no data or productivity. Dave seems like he knows what he is talking about and really helped me, a person that knows nothing about Cloud Computing, to understand what it is and give examples. This is enterprise 2.0 at its best. they are basically selling a program that is revolutionary and new to Google.
The quotes helped a little to understand what cloud computing has in store. I'm assuming that the companies that were used in the quotes have already used Cloud computing. Im sure that Cloud computing is a bigger workspace and basically keeps everything that you have been working on and keeps it and accesses it from the Internet or database. If this is the future of business I am all for it. He explains the benefits, Cost savings, speed and innovation, but some benefits they have to work on is customization and fitting the specific business that uses it.
Trust is what he keeps on repeating because people are having a bit of scepticism and they did a poll and a little more than half the people had an issue with trust. He is basically selling Cloud Computing.

Enterprise 2.0

Enterprise 2.0 has to do with technology and concept in the work place. Me myself, I enjoyed the book and if i ever become a key component in a company or start my career I will suggest Enterprise 2.0 to my Company. It does seem complicated but again real easy. I'm sure its like a wiki in some ways and in some ways not. This business is all about growing your business and employing hard workers but the main thing is to make a profit. So I believe that Enterprise 2.0 really gets you to look at another side of technology.
My presentation was over chapter 7 and that is implementing Enterprise 2.0 and my chapter was the Six Organizational steps to implement Enterprise. I really understood it as it talked about slightly moving away from the old technology. Not just to delete the old ways but to better them and use them along side the new technology.
I should put a link up if anyone wants to see the presentation.. Because this project was one that I really learned from.

Presentation

In the book enterprise 2.0, my group has to do a presentation tomorrow on chapter 7. I am not nervous or anything I just feel like we always get nervous right before, but we always seem to pull through in the end and have a great presentation. I am excited honestly that it is our last presentation of the semester. What I'm not excited about is the fact that I don't know anything about the test that is coming up. I want to get a okay grade so study I will have to do.

10 Ideas for the next 10 Years

The 10 ideas are pretty accurate. Of course I had to do technology and The Boring Age as my article. In the article it explains how technology has not revolutionized much since great inventions such as the electric oven, the typewriter and the wind source and wood burning as heat sources. I believe that this is true in a way. We are still using the same technologies and have advanced but not to extraordinary conditions. The same applies to knowledge management , it is a great system and not have had many breakthroughs to come to the field.

STEP SHOW FEVER

Yay we have entered into another step show. We have been asked by Fisk Zetas to step in their place at the annual NPHC step show at TSU. Now we have to come up with a whole other them and we have done that but it is essentially our same step show from last year in which we placed 2ND, 2ND and 1st traveling and taking it to different schools. I wonder what we will get at this one. We deserve what we practice for and that is always number 1 baby. We are here to prove that Zetas can step and we step good. Not meaning to put myself in a stereotype of a Zeta, which is Zetas are Fat black ugly and country, But baby I am here to say I may be a Big girl but I can step with the best and out dress the rest..look good and feel good in my skin and Beautiful above all...so stereotype I know nothing of..being a Lady of Zeta is always above!! I love it I love it I love it!!

INFS 3500

I really have been sick for a week or two with stomach issues and have missed my INFS 3500 class for a week. It is a TR class so its only two days but I feel I've missed alot. I have to keep up with blogging and its hard for me... I try not to blame my illness but it really gets to me at times. Living with adult ADHD is kind of a challenge. I pravail I like to think everyday. making waves and changes and learning to live with it more everyday. I know that I can pass this course if I buckle down from here on out. Its getting kind of hard since my classes are wanting more and more out of me as we draw to the end of the semester. Can my mind keep up with the request. Only time can tell!!

My New Baby

Okay so yay for me I have a new laptop... It has been a minute or two since my computer got stolen when I got robbed a year ago so I feel this is a major step up. Of course my babe got it for me and installed Windows 7 on it so its practically brand new with a new hard drive....the only problem is that I have to start from scratch with installing all the programs I need that are on my desktop. I had to install itunes and firefox and microsoft office.. It was a real headache for sure. But I am pleased with it and can start to be more mobile when I'm doing homework. Being a CIS major i need all the technology I can at my finger tips!! Oh an my new babies name is STAR......I love it!!
