The day I didnt come to class

To be honest I did not watch the full documentary of “start Up.com” because I wasn’t present at class during the day it was shown. However, I did watch the final 20-30 minutes of the video. My first impression of it is you can tell its pretty old when the color is all wacky and the phones, they use are obsolete compared to what we use today. Personally, I didn’t enjoy the documentary and find it very boring but on the topic of. bomb it was quite informative. We see how company were trying to join that internet hype train where investors invested in inflated ideas and eventually lead many businesses going bankrupts or being bought out by other bigger corporations. During the final 30 minutes of the film, Tom Herman became a little prick by trying to sue his own company because of personal reason and argument with Kaleil. I just thought it was a childish move because if he was trying to help the company move forward, he should of just step down as Co- CEO, take his paid vacation of 2 months and then come back with a fresh mind to talk about the future of his company and his position. Like even if Tom Herman isn’t the CEO, he still had like 2 million shares of the company where he can sell them for even more money. But at the end, their company went downhill and was bought out by a bigger corporation and now they are back to square one again trying to start up a next inflated idea company.

The filler course

To be honest I did not expect too much from this course. When I first read the course description I thought I knew what I kinda sign up for, but I guess I was wrong. Since the first day of class, it seems pretty chill it fitted my schedule and it was only 3 credits. So it gave me a lot of breathing room for other harder courses since this course is somewhat on the easy side. I've always been fascinated by new cutting-edge technology mainly because of it exciting to see what new tech can change society and the world again. I think this class might help me along the road for a IT or CS major at UWT. In addition, I also want to learn some history about the computer and the internet since I am a PC gamer I always wonder what the first PC was like and how it came to be the computers we know today. I’m running things to talk about the course so I’ll just talk a little about myself. My name is John Huang, currently a sophomore at UWT. I'm trying to major in CS or IT but I'm

The boring speaker

To be honest at first i was excited for our guest speaker since it was talking starting a companies and business. But as it continues I didn't find the guest speaker lecture that helpful and I also kind of feel annoyed mainly because I have a hard time grasping his theme. At first, he was talking about the books he wrote and the history of how he goes into writing books and then he was talking about his radio business in Tacoma. The lecture was bouncing back and forth between history and his business. So at the end I assume it's something about entrepreneurship but at the point his just kind of boasting about his business not really that informative in terms of enlightening us about starting a business and how to get there. In addition, he also talked about his web development career early on in his life. I'm not sure how it relates to the entrepreneurship theme lecture, But I guess it has do something about marketing your product and services via social media and online.

Project idea

I am not too sure what I want to talk about for my presentation for my project but I do have a general idea since my criminal justice class is talking about cyber crime and my group decides to do a presentation for it I might as well reused something from my TCRIM class and present for this. Not only it saves me time and some effort but also it's along the lines of computers and technology. In terms of what specifics of cyber crime topic of cyber crime I think I'm planning to do something in regards to cyber crimes, hacking, DDoS etc. Some of the mainstream and less known cyber crime that people don't always know about which I will touch upon. If this doesn't go as I plan I might do something else like artificial intelligence or VR both of these subjects are pretty hot right now especially VR games I find the most interest in between the two. The reason why I am excited for VR because not too long ago I watch a movie called Ready player one. It absolutely blew my mind h
