U-Blog 3

I think the IT's top 5 training mistakes shows that IT needs better management in this field. According to Dr. Gerdes's class only 25% of IT projects are a success. Now I know that with new technology that hasn't been put into action yet, your going to have problems, but still 25% is horrible. A lot of it is due to the size of the company. Big companies have a lot more to oversee and sometimes they overlook the little things. But still being a big company means you have the resources to just hire more people to do what you need to get done and do it right. I think if IT companies put more time in planning and doing things right instead of hurrying up and making deadlines they would see a big difference.

U-blog 2

I think that its good that we are able to go to help out the senior citizens with all of their computer questions. For me I know my grandparents/parents know absolutely nothing about computers and I'm always being hasseled to answer very elementary questions. So maybe with this we can eventually spare some of their grandsons and daughters.
