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.
The Unsend App is a great idea because many times I have sent a message right at that moment but to regret a minute later for sending that. What if the person already opened the message and saved the message - can you still unsend it?
ReplyDeleteI believe this is a very interesting idea. I know from my own experience that there have been plenty of times where I myself wish I could taken back a message or have sent one by mistake. Making it more accessible to all types of phones would greatly be an advantage. I feel if you can create an app like this and abide the laws that guard computer science retrieving and deleting of files I belive this app could be successful.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea since people often regret sending text messages. However, since this is on mobile devices I think most times people will have already read the text message. Perhaps users could choose an option that would delay when the text is received.
