Blog Number 1

The past two weeks in class has been very mind opening. I never realized how important technology has taken over almost every aspect of the workplace. Creating this account on Blogger.com was a great experience. I myself don't even have a facebook account. Since high school i really got completely away from the "social network" scene. The in class work that we did by setting up a blog to easier communicate with the group we were put in to work on our project opened my eyes to wanting to become more up to date with technology. The blog page is helping me become more creative by finding different ways to communicate with my group in other ways than face to face contact, email, and calling one another. It is a creative way to be doing all the group work with really never having to see each other. This is also creative in a helpful way because all the information that the group comes up with is all in one spot and you never have to worry about someone not showing up because their information just needs to be posted and the group doesn't fall behind. Innovation is happening at the place where i work for them at least. They have came up with a new way of bar coding the products so that they can be tracked at all the locations, even store to store. They have also just started updating their website, and asked me to actually help. They know that I'm going to school and the company is a small family owned business so don't have all the marketing people so they asked me to help. I like this blogging thing and might try to use something like it to get customer feedback other than just email. Our verge team i think is a great group. As of now we all get along and I just have a good vibe from everyone i will be working with. When we first started throwing out ideas no one said any ones idea was stupid, but we discussed why it might not work till we reached an item we all felt good about.
