Input/Output devices

My Business in an input/output point of view
                There are a bunch of input and output devices that people use. One of the most common input and output devices used today is a camera. The camera is good for a lot reasons especially for enhancing your business. For my business I can use a camera for things like designing my page and for pictures used for big name headlines. For my business I would probably want to use one that has a lot of megabytes because I may want to display it in big screens and have very detailed images. In sports, the best pictures are taken in the middle of a specific action like when a kid goes for an alley opp dunk or when a hitter makes contact with a baseball.
                Another technology that I would probably use is RFID technology because I may want products to be sold for people or have giveaways. I would need RFID technology because this helps me scan things in bunches instead of scanning each product one by one. This will allow me to get more things done in shorter amount of time. RFID is the next big thing because it is taking us away from the barcode era and promoting better ways to take account for products being sold in large amounts. With RFID I can check how much of a certain product I have and if sales are going down, I can give away the extra shirts I may have as rewards. If I get people to where accessories that say my products name then my business will benefit because fans become more familiar with my brand. However, since RFID is a new technology, there can be many things that go wrong. Maybe it hasn’t been tested out enough so when I put it to use, it probably won’t function as well.
                Another technology I would use for my business is QR codes because with QR codes I will be able to create one that goes to my homepage. I will have prizes and giveaways included in my QR code so that way they won’t have to go through the hassle of trying to find it themselves. QR coding is a new technology that will be used in the future and it allows messages to be seen more because people can be directed to where the producer wants his customers to go for updates and awards.

Hardware

Hardware and my business
                The fact that I can build a computer from scratch will benefit my business in so many ways. I can constantly check the new products in the market that will make my computer better. For example: a new hard drive that is loaded with giga bytes or RAM will speed my computer 100 times more! Learning how to build computers is also helpful for my business because I won’t be confused on how to fix the technological systems at the work site. If I’m an efficient technician then I can direct my other employers in the right direction to fix the problem ASAP.
                More specifically, learning how to fix computers or making my computer faster will help me when there are large amounts of request coming from my customers. If people want to know more information about the last game that went on and I’ve been having trouble sending things out on time, then I might need new RAM to speed up my computer. Also if my fan base gets bigger, I might need a larger server to have them in my database. Also investing in a super computer will also help my business more because with the more people involved in my website, the more information is needed.
                Hardware is becoming more important to businesses around the world because information is being sent out in a faster rate across the world. With better hardware in your computer, you allow your computers to run smoothly and at the best rate possible. Computers are being faster and easier to use, so changing your memory or CPU just so your computer can run faster wouldn’t be a bad idea.

The social media


Social Media and My Business
                The social media is becoming more and more of a necessity for all businesses nowadays. People all over the world are connected to some sort of social media. Facebook and twitter are one of the most used social media tools being used by business around the world today. For my business I know I’m going to have to be an effective user of the social media because I would need to get connected to people around the world. Getting people involved locally will help my business directly because I would need to address those concerns as soon as possible. Globally, I would need to get people involved in my business because I can learn a lot from the trends going on around the world. Trends can be very helpful to my business because I can see what I need to change or make better.
                The social media world is also good because I can let people know about new products fast and spread it out to everyone around the world. Nowadays people want the latest updates and they want to know it right away. Facebook can increase my fan base and twitter can be used as my primary source for getting my information out there ASAP! Even websites for putting pictures up or for blogging can increase the information about my company in an efficient manner. The world is changing and so is technology and also how information is being sent out to our consumers. In order for businesses to thrive in this type of environment, we need to have the latest technologies and used them to their highest potential.
                Every business should be constant users or the social media if they want to be successful. Social media is the best way to advertise products and to get people informed. People are always looking to get others to understand what a new product is and how it will be utilized so these social media website are gateways to a better understanding. More specifically, the social media will benefit my company because I can get people information about the next top prospect and put him on a spotlight for scouts to see. This will give my company more credibility because parents and teams will trust my company to promote their team to the other parts of the country. Advertising a school more can be beneficial to the school because they will attracted better players and parents will know about school outside of their local area.

The New Sports Innovation


Saving the Sports World
What if we had all access to high school athletes from all around the world and would report them and only them for 24 hours a day!? They will all be going fame craze right? A lot of sports channels neglect high school athletes mainly because they might not be as well known as professional athletes are and they aren’t playing for anything special. Sportscenter reports all sports and when they find a well known athlete in high school they’ll report them. But creating a sports channel for high school students allows for more publicity to younger athletes and gives them a chance to shine in bigger lights throughout their season. Most games are reported during playoff season, but some games might have more significance during the regular season as well. The set up can be the same as Sportscenter such that there will be big games hosted in the main channel and other big games in other local channels.
Sports fans can see what’s going on in the sports levels below the professional ones and can have something to look for when these athletes get older. Recruiting will be so much easier because more athletes will be able to showcase their special abilities. There won’t be one big athlete that will take over everybody’s chance in joining a good college team. Scouts from New York can check out a kid from California, live and without any speculations from other scouts. This company can exist because college teams and sports around the world are always trying to find how they can make their programs better. The better they recruit, the better it is for them to build a stronger team. Some people might think that making a high school sports channel won’t exist, but I believe that making this will help small schools around the world make a name for them. Communities around the world will also feel a sense of pride. It gives kids that can’t a afford to go to a showcase a chance to show that they are better than the rich kids who parents have paid for professional trainers to improve their skills.
People around the world will see how a typical high school athlete lives and the stresses that come along with it. In the show there will be interviews with high school athletes and controversial arguments to compare teams and players. Social media will be a big part of the channel because I would want everybody to get involved and shout their opinions. The name of the show will be named “Sports High.” This name is simple and automatically gives the impression that people can be “high” on sports and it also explains exactly what it is, which is: high school sports. Also the initials spell out SH which can be used as a slogan mechanism because we don’t think of high school athletes as big athletes so by using the expression SHHHH to describe them will make sense because we’ve exposed everybody to this well known secret.
