Macworld Conference & Expo

Very few people fully recognize the affect Steve Jobs has made in advances in technology. In my research with experts from Time, Communications, MacWorld and Mastery I intend to show how Steve Jobs was a visionary far beyond his time, and that is why he is one of the people who inspires me. Let me take you in to the creative mind of Steve Jobs. Greene (2011, p. 175) talks about in his book Mastery creative task and the need to have a deep-rooted connection to your interest. If you do not have this deep rooted connection, you will not be able to withstand any of the setbacks or even failures that will happen along your journey. This deep-rooted interest will also help you ignore the critics and doubters, as you continue on to find a resolution to the problem. Steve Jobs, clearly recognized that the computer is a tool for the individual to empower themselves and to be able to use their creative mind. He chose to ignore to his contemporaries that only saw the computer as a tool for corporate repression (Krantz, 1999 p.1). When Jobs first started the company he ran is with an it’s my-way-or-the-highway free thinker. Jobs passion was so strong that he only cared that his employees had his vision as though it was a religion. Jobs was noted by employees as being drive, tense and even temperamental. He would fire employees if they did…

Barriers Apple is in a unique situation where things that might be a barrier to most company’s actually increase Apple’s desirability. However, there are two things that could potentially be a barrier to Apple succeeding in the iTV arena. First, the avenues available to people to purchase Apple products are traditionally somewhat limited. The iPad/iPhone/iPod have been available in non-traditional Apple retailers like Walmart/Target, however, MacBooks and other higher end Apple products…

The Devil in the White City is written by Erik Larson, an author that takes historical events but instead of just explaining the events, he leaves his readers at the edge of their seats, wanting more, and explains gaps that are left in history regarding the events of this book. This book is set during the World's Columbian Exposition or better known as the World’s Fair of 1893. The book is based on two men that are on the opposite side of the spectrum in society: Daniel Burnham, the architect of…

Fujimoto’s Serpentine Pavilion is grey. He expanded the component arbitrary, and the transparency turn to opaque by stake the components. The transparency of the building also is changing when your personal perspective changes. Otherwise, the component could expand to anywhere, the building is an endless grey space which is created by the Irrational Tectonic. Irrational Tectonic is not efficiency… Not like rational tectonic pursuing maximum value of space, Irrational Tectonic don’t care about…

as my cousin tried to make her way in, the doors started to close. I could not possibly leave her behind. I was afraid that one of us would get stuck in between the doors but all I had to do was put my foot between the doors to stop them from closing. My heart was beating so fast while my cousin and I stood on the skytrain looking around to see how filled it was. Not one person bothered helping us. We stared at each other and could not possibly hold our laughter. I could not be more glad to go…

Irrational Tectonic is not efficiency. Not like rational tectonic pursuing maximum commercial value of space, Irrational Tectonic doesn’t care about the commercial value of space, which is enclosed by itself, it’s more like a representation of architect’s ideal world. No skyscraper allows Irrational Tectonic because it would reduce the space but increase the difficulty of construction. UK Pavilion for Shanghai world expo 2010 is no model of “efficiency” because of its Irrational thick wall,…

For project 2, the plan was to attend a seminar of some sort regarding estate planning. Chris Hogan, one of Dave Ramsey’s personalities, was here towards the end of March but his speaking arrangement wasn’t centered solely around estate planning and instead, was more of a “smart money” event about getting out of debt etc. After doing some research, I found several different seminars that will be taking place locally next month around the Salt Lake Valley, but since the semester will be over by…

The purpose of the interview was to learn about Vietnam, the country where my informant was born and lived until 1975 when Saigon was invaded by the North Vietnamese. In addition, I had desired to see Vietnam from a perspective other than the Vietnam War where Americans fought. However, there is another reason I chose Vietnam, I work with students whose parents are from Vietnam even though the parents are a younger generation their culture is alive and lived out in their community. Some of…

XI. The Removal of Colonel Reb as the Mascot The progression of the University’s image began in 1997 with the ban of the Confederate flag in the football stadium by, then Chancellor Robert Khayat. This was the result then Athletic Director, Pete Boone and student leaders who approved a resolution asking Ole Miss fans to stop waving Rebel flags at athletic events. In an interview Boone stated that the flag hurt recruitment (Cabell, 1997). "I mean, we 've got a great university here, a great…

of America joined WWI due to beneficial economic relations with the Allies and German advances towards the American people. In 1919, The Treaty of Versailles resolved WWI, but left Germany in tremendous debt as they had to pay all war reparations. Because Germany was struggling, the Nazis rose to power under the leadership of Hitler. Adolf Hitler became the German dictator. WWII then began as the Allies felt that the spread of fascism and undemocratic practices needed to be halted. At this time,…
