Blog #4

            Technology has changed our world in many different ways. An example of an input device that’s needed in my entrepreneurial idea is a printer. After every session, the printer will print out a receipt of student’s deposit and account information. An output example would be a keyboard or a speaker but for this machine, it won't be a physical keyboard, it's going to be a touch screen. But if the voice recognition program gets installed, a speaker would be needed for the machine in order to hear the directions. 

            A voice recognition service is a great way to help anyone at anywhere when they need help. For example, my entrepreneurial can expand its abilities by installing voice recognition. It can be helpful for people who don’t understand the machine or anyone in need of the voice recognition, like disabled.  Of course, voice recognition is still a developing system where it needs lots of samples in order to store the recognition. But it’s a great convenient way for people to utilize the machine. Also like Goog-411, a phone line that can serve as a directory service line would be a great way to promote and gain convenience. For example, maybe some restaurants near the school or CVS or any type of stores decides to join with the school and allow students to use recycled money there too. Then students can expand the horizon of the places where they can use the money. This allows more students to be interested in recycling and a closer step towards going green. And if other stores decide to join, students or anyone can all a 411 number that can direct them to other available options by using a voice recognition directory service. 

            Recycle machines today have a scanner that can recognize what kind of recycled items are put into the machine. But one way of having the machine recognize is to scan the bar code.  It helps the machine categorize accurately whether its glass or plastic or etc. All machines should have a RFID located somewhere in the machine so when it’s time to check on the RFID machine or if parts are broken in the machine, the information about the machine can be stored in the R. It can also store information on how old the machine is or when the machine was fixed last. Like any information regarding the machine can be stored in the RFID tag. So when a person from the company comes around to check them, they can just scan the ID to gain information about everything.  Even though there are lots of disadvantages of RDID tags, it’s still a developing technology. So there should always be backup stored information somewhere in the machine or a mother computer.
