Reflection 3 - Techno 1

Last June 24, 2014, we had our third meeting in our Technopreneurship 1 subject at the IC Lab 1. Well, in order to come at our class on time, I really did try my very best to wake up early and I even did not able to finished my breakfast because I’m in a hurry and I’m afraid that I will be late in our class. Before going to school, it is my every day task to drop-off my two cousins to their school, so whenever I have class during morning schedules, I find it hard to wake up early simply because I’m a kind of person that loves to sleep a lot and a kind of lazy a bit (hihi).

How to Propel the Economy of Davao City

Nowadays, modern technology has been widely utilized by among of us. In fact, these technologies were become helpful in our everyday life that enables us to do our works in an easier way. During the last couple of decades, technology has become more and more common both in our daily life, as well as in businesses. This has led to an increase in technology implementation, especially within the service industry, where customers now can use self-service technologies in order to receive the service on their own. However as we can observe in our city that we were living right now, I can say that it is still far behind than the other places that they excel in terms of their technologies and in their fast growing economy. Other regions like in Manila, in terms of their Information and Communication Technology companies, they have the latest technologies and centralized big companies. In which I think it is one of the factors of having a fast growing economy. Definitely, Manila has a lot better of ICT companies as compared to local companies here in Davao.

9 dots - Reflection

 

           Last June 17, we had our second meeting in our Technopreneurship 1 class at the IC Lab 1. Part of our meeting, which I will be focusing on, was the 9 dots, in which we were given the enough time to solve this activity. It was just a simple activity.. well I admit at first it’s just simple but honestly speaking I did not solve it, simply because I find it hard and I did not exert much effort for it. Our activity was to connect the 9 dots with just 4 strokes and take note, without lifting our pens up. I thought it was just simple but after how many tries, I guess I’d got until 5 tries and I’d just give it up, because still, I just cannot solve it. I can proudly say that it is a fun activity and I admit I find it entertaining and interesting one. It’s a kind of activity that you wouldn’t want to forget because you’ve learned a lot from it and you want to share it to others and might as well use this to test them.

Pirates of Silicon Valley - Reflection

1. What are the factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur?

The movie, “Pirates of Silicon Valley” was a film based on a historical fact regarding on Steve Jobs and how Apple got started and also about Bill Gates and how Microsoft got started. The movie then proceeds to narrate the events that led to the development of the first Apple computer. The movie is called Pirates of Silicon Valley because it is about piracy in the computer world and Silicon Valley is a place in California where computers are built. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs performed many unethical actions during the beginnings of Microsoft and Apple. Steve Jobs is now known as one of the famous technopreneur in the world of business. Furthermore, he already attained his success but with his attitude problem this brought him to a failure one. But as years passed by, the Apple Company decided to give him another chance to continue his visions and to develop more new technologies.

3 Idiots - Reflection

The movie 3 Idiots was truly an amazing story. It is a story with the element of fun and drama combined with wonderful twists and turns, which were really amazing and wonderfully tied that you would never noticed that it was actually a quite long movie. In addition, it is a comedy, no doubt, spiced up with a bit of romance, well-timed jokes, catchy music and a tragic scene. You would never want to miss what would happen next as you go along the way. The feeling of excitement of what’s going to happen continually grows as scenes to scenes goes by. The twists and turns truly make this movie a wonderful piece of a great story. But more than the comedy and drama which was wonderfully combined, what is more impressive to me is it had made me love this movie and I’m sure that would probably make you too, are the lessons within the story. I have watched this movie three times already and yet from time to time it is still feels good to watch it all over again. However, what makes the movie deep and meaningful is the theme. It actually questions the education system, which turns out thousands of fact-memorizing robots who gobble information mindlessly without thinking or questioning. No doubt this was the best movie for me that I’ve ever seen.
