Investigate How Data Will Be Stored and Used

It is said that “Autonomous vehicles are the equivalent of supercomputers rolling down the highway, generating and transmitting a mind-boggling volume of data – up to 4 terabytes per day, per car.” according to datacenterfrontier.com. Data is very close to becoming the new currency. Companies have never had to deal with this amount of data on a day-to-day basis and with data, comes risk. Being able to keep all of the customers personal information safe, to when they were picked up and where they were dropped off can become quite challenging.  Without the daily limitations on how much a car can drive, currently with humans there is a limit to reduce the risk of an accident.This will bring about an unprecedented amount of data.
Before companies can begin building data centers, they will have to tackle the wireless connectivity issues first.  From that point they can begin to work in all on of the other elements of the cars. The development of 5G is the key to being able to push this self-driving car movement forward. This will help aid in allowing the car to stop in a moments notice, which is critical when lives are at risk.
The data will be stored in data warehouse to be used for in an all business purposes. This information will be analyzed to see when peak times are for any given day or area to what type of customers are using these services. This information could allow the car makers to make deals with many companies. For example, let us say a customer named Patty gets picked up everyday and stops by a coffee shop to get coffee first. If enough customers have this trend then the car company can make a deal with a particular shop to become the main stop for coffee. The company could also offer a specific deal and charge the customer by week, month or day. This will help ensure repeat business. The company could also choose to sell this information to other companies, should they notify the customers first, or put this information into their agreement.

Companies will have to invest a great deal of resources into make sure the data warehouse that they will build are both secure physically and electronically.

CAMPUS SIGNAGE PROJECT

CAMPUS SIGNAGE PROJECT As I begin to write about this Campus Signage Project (CSP) I realise that this may not be as easy as I first anticipated. As I go through my day-to-day life at Northern Illinois University (NIU), I am beginning to understand that I rarely have time to “smell the roses.” I spend most of my time in the Student Recreation Center (SRC), as that is the location where my office is. When thinking of what poster or signage will I pick, as there are an insurmountable amount of posters and signage all over NIU. As I stated that I am often very busy, I actually found a sign within my own location. Two signs to be exact. Now the question is, which will I choose? Picture of Wellness At first I walked through the long cold hallways of the SRC and stopped to see the signage locate d above. At first glance it looks as though they are a way for you to be well, and they are, but as I look closer, I realise it is more than just information about wellness ...

Where does the Time go?

Time is something that comes and goes. It is also something you can never get back. There is a saying, "no man knows the day or the hour he or she will leave this earth." One thing that is certain is that at one point or another we will all leave this earth. As I think about time, I realize that life is so precious and if you don't take the time to spend them with the people you love, one day you will wake up and wonder 'where did all the time go.' I have four fantastic children and I love to spend time with them. As they get older I am understanding that this time is so valuable. I would do anything to get back some of the years where I thought "work" was so important or school. Well... I can't change yesterday, so all I can do is move forward with today, while its here!

Branding Guidelines and Constraints

Branding Guidelines and Constraints When I think of the branding, I think less is more.  There are many different ways one can look at branding. They can consider it to be the companies Logo or the quality of an item. Branding can go as far as a company’s reputation in society. While companies have to be careful  that they stay within their core business, many companies are branching out so much that there original core business is getting lost in translation. Companies like Burger King and KFC had to learn how to use constraints. Burger King went from being known for burgers to sales, hot dogs, tacos, bean burgers, turkey burgers, mac and cheese bites, Cheetos chicken fries and sliders( www.Burgerking.com ). While KFC went from being known for fried chicken to think thin, marketing their grilled chicken. They use to sale a fried chicken pizza that did not go over well with consumers.  Currently they are in the process of discontinuing their grilled chicken. I th...
