Emotion Machine

Artificial Intelligence is a work in progress:
Arguably one of the most challenging intellectual endeavors before mankind is that of decoding our thoughts and memories and how they integrate into an experience that makes us so effective at survival and transform us into a thriving population that has spread to every corner of this Earth. These individual experience make us each different but allow us to excel in different ways. I have been raised to appreciate computing and know that is where my future lies. In the same fashion, the hope is, should a system be conceived to manage the resources of a community it would be endeared to that community of it's creation, and value it uniquely. As of yet, these emotional responses that grant the drive to do the impossible, the will to overcome any problem, is unique to our genome. Transcribing this into a artificial creation and having it last beyond it's creator to spread good, would be a crowing achievement.

Expert Systems

Describing an expert system:

Expert systems are transcribed human expertise into if-then rules. These rules are configured to better serve a novice who may not have the capabilities to have contact with a professional due to physical proximity or any limiting factor. It means that someone who has basic knowledge of the computer to simply input certain variables that the system requires can be provided an output of information that has an illustrated record of success in practice. Below is the father of the expert system Edward Feigenbaum. He talks about several systems he has helped to develop that provide assistance to professionals in the healthcare industry.

The parts of an expert system (technical components):

An expert system consists of 5 components:

IT's Flat Now:

I hope you're ready to compete, cause it's time to kick it up a notch.

  A few hundred years ago, the world was certainly flat. Continue on in one direction and you never came back to the same point. Today a situated person doesn't even have to move and finds himself at all points on earth. The massive network of information and commerce that is the internet has transformed the world so utterly, that we are very unsure of the implications. One thing has been evident and clear; The world is flat.

Knowledge Management Diversity in Business

Don't Be Afraid Of Sharing:

     A company's existence hinges on the effectiveness it has in taking in profit, building up a competitive advantage, and making a product that lives up to scrutiny and competition. Information systems kick start your capability for a competitive advantage. I need to talk about three companies that provide services and product that stand out as living up to not only that standard but lead each respective industry by way of their distinct differences. 

     What these businesses understand is the advantage you gain by increasing the ease an employee can access information within their system, which results in customers gaining this information. By providing services to other businesses, as these companies do, it multiplies their profit potential individually and further on to their customer. What they have in common is a sophisticated information network and culture of sharing knowledge and experience and passing it to their customer in a relevant way. They also are early adopters of the type of information technology that expands the capability of a business by sharing information.

Geisinger and Information Technologies:

Advancing Information Access for everyone.

Geisinger has a vast array of health care providing facilities throughout the northern region of Pennsylvania. I have several siblings, and other relations that interact with them as a basis of employment, but mostly rely on their systems for their healthcare needs. Geisinger does provide all needs as well from a tooth pulled out to a baby pulled out, they do it all.

How Increasing Returns Work For You:

Increasing Returns and the Network Effect.

O NO, who you gonna call? BSOD Busters!

Understanding the law of cause and effect is basis of rational thinking and the presupposition to additionally reasoned laws. Because i see the need of a computer repair specialist in my town i have now opened a business. The cause was the need for a computer repair then the effect, was my new venture BSOD Busters!. Once risen to the challenge i find myself quickly overwhelmed by the amount of work presented to me. Just as noted, I am a small business, i rely solely on myself for being on the phone for ordering parts, keeping up with accounting and many other tasks.

IT and Competitive Advantage

What exactly a competitive advantage is.

Having the competitive advantage answers the question; What are you best at? Making that skill IT provides varying level of returns based on your business. The closer your business is to being integrated into a computerized structure the higher the returns for investing in IT.

Companies such as Amazon, Google, Go Daddy, and online content providers benefit the most from investing in their information tech because their product is facilitated by their technological infrastructure. For example, while amazon is a dominating leader in the online world as a market place of products, they have gained the competitive advantage by investing in their domain hosting, and server facilitation business. By investing into costly SSD enabled servers they have achieved the noticeable advantage of being able to find your query of either a listing of a product or searching your database they may host much faster with better Information technology. Their business model is built around playing to this competitive advantage and it is no wonder how they are able to expand their business to a town like Murfreesboro. This has proven to be extremely beneficial for bringing jobs to our community despite many investments in IT focused on outsourcing call centers and other likely cost cutting measures.
