Final Post


As stated in the "Entrepreneurial Idea" post, the unsend app is an app that "unsends" any unread message that you no longer want the recipient to read. The unsend app has already been created, but only for the blackberry email accounts and gmail. By making the app accessible for texting (on most phones) makes the app more sufficient because people text every day and some people throughout the day regret sending a text message to someone.

If the unsend app was real, many people would use it on a daily basis. The unsend app went from a random thought to a great entrepreneurial idea, that might develop in the future. The entrepreneurial idea showed me how it is related to social media and how it should be featured on some social networks.

Privacy and Computer Forensics was also an aspect of the unsend app because user's messages would be deleted and there would be no trace of those messages. The unsend app also would have competitors, such as gmail and the blackberry email, but seeing the competitors app gave me a chance to improve my idea. The competitors app has a time limit on how long you can unsend an e-mail, while the unsend app would unsend any message as long as it's unread.

I learned how the unsend app could use databases and cloud computing when data has to be stored or used.  The database would contain a database schema  to maintain the database and security management so only a few people would be able to access the data. Using cloud computing would make the unsend app more sufficient because cloud computing is internet based, therefore the network updates itself automatically.

I could make the unsend app a reality by learning the basics of creating an app. I could also do research and see how the competitors: gmail and blackberry email were designed. Using that information, I can store it in a cloud computing network. Once I become tech-savvy I will know all the codes in order to create the unsend app and thanks to this project I know the fundamentals to creating an entrepreneurial idea in technology.

Databases


Entrepreneurial Idea:
As stated in the "Entrepreneurial Idea" post, the unsend app is an app that "unsends" any unread message that you no longer want the recipient to read. The unsend app has already been created, but only for the blackberry email accounts and gmail. By making the app accessible for texting (on most phones) makes the app more sufficient because people text everyday and some people throughout the day regret sending a text message to someone.

Lecture:
The unsend app is related to the database lecture because in order for the unsend app to function there would have to be data available to make the connections of "unsending" a text message possible. Since a database is a set of tables that contains attributes, the unsend app would have attributes in the tables regarding the process of making sure the message the sender wants to "unsend" is still unread. The database of the unsend app would contain a database schema to keep the database organized. 

In the database of the unsend app, there would also be a security management because not all employees would be allowed to view the database. The database of the unsend app would also have the back-up and recovery management  to back-up information in the database automatically. As stated in the privacy lecture post, the unsend app would not keep record of any content from the unsent message, therefore the database would only consist of  the unsend app blueprint and process of "unsending" and connection to cellular devices.

Networking


Entrepreneurial Idea:
As stated in the "Entrepreneurial Idea" post, the unsend app is an app that "unsends" any unread message that you no longer want the recipient to read. The unsend app has already been created, but only for the blackberry email accounts and gmail. By making the app accessible for texting (on most phones) makes the app more sufficient because people text everyday and some people throughout the day regret sending a text message to someone.

Lecture:
The unsend app is related to the Networking lecture because the app would have to be connected to a network that would be able to transmit communications to cellphones, in order to "unsend"  a text  message. The unsend app would have a wide area network (WAN), because the app will be used worldwide. Since the unsend app would be connected to the WAN the sharing of hardware would be very accessible. 

The unsend app would also have a client/server network because a lot of information would have to be "unsent," therefore more computers would be needed to process the the information that is "unsent" in a timely manner. The unsend app would have an website for advertisement and customer support, therefore a domain name would be needed. The domain name would be "unsendapp," so customers can easily remember the website's name.

Blogger Review

Blogger Topic: Big dog robot head throws brick

The blogger that this review is based on, goes by the name of "geekologie." Geekologie is a blogger about new technology ideas that this individual comes across. Geekologie's blog contains many different post relevant to technology and a variety of abstract topics.

In the post "Uh-Oh: Robotic BigDog Now Has A Brick Throwing Head," the blogger talks about a robotic dog that is able to throw bricks with its head. The robotic dog is able to throw a brick really far. There is no evident application for the brick throwing robotic dog, but it shows great programming skills.
     
The style of Geekologie's blog is somewhat unorthodox in his/her approach of the robotic dog post. The blogger gave me a biased view of how he/she felt about the brick throwing robotic dog. The blog lacks information about the robotic dog and why it was built. The blog does not give it's readers a chance to decide, whether or not a brick throwing dog is a good idea or bad idea.
