Video Case 4-2

I have a love hate relationship with Facebook, for real.  I mean there is no privacy on the site my information could go just about anywhere, whether I want it to or not.  There are new settings that allow us to make your personal information private, which is my right even if I am posting my information willingly to the site. These new privacy settings allow us to log into anything we want to log into rather than make it automatic. 

I mean come on Facebook for a while there was trying to take control of our information.  Changing my connections will definitely give me a little more control over what happens to my information, I will feel safer and more secure knowing my information isn’t being sent to every wacko out there.

However, I am not sure I want to keep any personal photos on Facebook anymore, I mean facial recognition tags each face in or photos and creates a record the photo or person to retrieve later not so sure how I feel about that one doesn’t seem very safe to me.

Video Case 3-2

There lots of software that businesses use that I know nothing about.  The Tea Collection has several different kinds of software applications such as, Systems information, Geographic Data Mapping, and Back end tools for the internet are tools that I hope to learn about if I want to get my business off the ground.  "Initially, a pure engineering geological map intend to be prepared based on existing and newly gathered field data." (OmkarM. Shrestha, 1999)

One such challenge I have noticed about these kinds of technology is that if connection is not automatic, then there are several IT personnel needed to make the connections, one way to address this kind of challenge, strategic transitions.  This often means blurring organizational boundaries because this effects movement between levels of sociotechnical systems.  I hope that when I open my own business it will be as much of a success as The Tea Collection.
