Session Two

Session Two

This session increased my knowledge about how computers can good and bad for a company. Businesses loose a great deal of production because of computers. Employees that have desk top computers can waste at an hour or two a day, searching the internet and reading personal e-emails.

Six or seven years ago on super computers would be the only machines containing 1 terabyte hard drives. I am about two weeks away from purchasing a 1 terabyte hard drive for the personal computer. It seems that computers are being phases out after 5 years. Either the monitor is too big or the processor does not as efficiently with the new software.

Session two highlighted key points about how fast technology is changing. It is hard for consumers to make decisions on purchasing computers when they know two years down the road they will be almost obsolete. Businesses today have to build systems to grow as the business grows. I think if a business monitors computer hardware effectively, it can cut cost by purchasing at the right time.
