Summing It All Up
As time passed and I learned about new and different materials in the technology field, my entrepreneurial idea has definitely evolved throughout the semester. Because of me gaining knowledge on so many things during IST 195 class, I was able to use the material I learned with my idea to make it an even great idea.
One way my entrepreneurial idea has evolved over time is after I learned about cloud computing in class. Cloud computing is such a useful thing that people use mostly everyday and I feel that if i added cloud computing to my app, it would be a greater success. While using the My Virtual Fridge app, one can now log on using any computer with a special login username and password and can access all their information that is stored on the application.
Another way my entrepreneurial idea has evolved throughout the semester is when I learned about it's current competitors. Knowing about my competitors really helped me make my idea even better because I found out what my competitors had and what they were missing. I definitely made sure my application were better than its competitors. One strong idea I stole from my competitors and used them with my application is the listing of prices from online websites too. Before I read about my competitors, my application only listed prices from local stores, I know made sure to include online prices with my application too so online shoppers can be able to use my application too.
Additionally, one really strong way my entrepreneurial idea has evolved over time was adding the use of Excel. I learned in my IST 195 class that Excl is currently being used with so many companies and that we are slowly relying more on it each day. With that being learned, I definitely incorporated Excel with my application. With the use of my application, A user can keep track of how much they spent weekly, monthly, or yearly at supermarkets. Charts can even be made from Excel to show the user’s finances in a visual format. The app will even categorize the items the user bought. For example, daily products, poultry, snacks, drinks, etc.
In conclusion, after I learned so many different topics in IST 195, I was able to use my knowledge to better my entrepreneurial idea. The outline to actually make my entrepreneurial idea into reality will be to first to make the application first. I found a great step-by-step guide online on how to make an application. After I make it, I will incorporate all the features, like the GPS function that comes with the phone and scanner, and a lot more.
Fanta I really like your idea! Being able to get notified when your products are running low on your fridge helps to know when it is time to go grocery shopping. Being a college student you often loose track of how much milk or orange juice is left in the fridge until you wake up the next morning and there is nothing for breakfast. My only concern is how well will the fridge be able to calculate the amount of food that is left in the fridge, I understand for milk it will set an expiration date but how about for items such as tomato and onions, will it be by weight or number of items left?
