Safe Storage

Creating a social media can be trouble. That's why I will need to upgrade or buy a computer that fits the need of running the social media site. Doing research will be the first step. Researching different computers and parts will help me to see what I need. I can also see where to buy the best items for the best prices using different internet websites.

Security is also be an issue in the future especially with hard drives. If I need to upgrade a hard drive, I will need to erase all the data on the old hard drive after transfering the information. Even though I erased the information, there can still be information that can be recovered. Just recently I found out that to permanently erase data off a hard drive you need to destory it. It's the only way to guarantee that the informaion does not get into the wrong hands.

Excel to New Heights

I was never really an excel user. I would  just use excel for collecting data and to create graphs with that data. I did not think excel was very powerful. It's like microsoft visual studio but it's more convient. It's for people that do not know how to program. The if statements is an important part of programing. When using excel your looking for or what you want to gain from using excel. If you understand computer programming, it's the same principal.

With the knowledge I learnt from my lecture, I would use excel to keep track of my clients and business partners. It will help me to be more organized with email addresses and other information that is necessary for my idea of having a user created website.

A "New Social Media"

Social media has gone somewhat down hill with cretive content. My idea is to create a social media website that put the user first at heart. It would be like a live action art protfolio which would be aimed for artist in mind. I know that everyone is artistic in some way or another so if your not in to making videos then maybe digital design will be for you. When a user makes an account, they will take a survey that shows your strengths and weakness as an artist. The person can choose wheater or not if a person wants to improve on their weaknesses or stay with what your good at. The user has the option of changing his or her mind at any time. There will be a chart system that shows your improvements over time.

Privacy settings will be in top priority. There will be restrictions on saving pictures and other content on everyones" page. This is something I learned in one of my lecture classes. Privacy settings are very important when it comes to social media sites. Just by going on a search engine and typing your names into it, a person can find any information they can get their hands on. This would be the greatest goal once my idea goes into motion.
