Parts of the Intercom System

This past week, we spoke about the different components that go into assembling a computer. We also then went on to speak about identity theft, and the different procedures that one can take to make sure that they aren't a target of such attacks. The latter is definitely something that can be applied to my product, for the simple fact that with the newest modification of video, the owner of the house can further protect his or her family as well as see if the person who is at the door truly is who they say they are.

I personally feel that the video modification on the intercom system is necessary for those who want to ensure the security and the well-being of their home and everyone who is in there.  With an intercom system, you will further limit the amount of chances that you have of being deceived by that outside person. A video modification will further enhance that security by definitely giving you a visual of who is outside of your door.

Privacy..

This past week's lecture dealt with social media & privacy, and Excel. Professor Rubin went in depth on the importance of safety and how it affects various social networking sites. This lead me to instantly question how effective my entrepreneurial idea truly is, because the main focus of the product is to further ensure safety. The fact that the internet has such a profound effect on being able to either keep our information private or not is extremely remarkable. Ideally, with the information that I learned in class this past week, I will be able to further add modifications that will keep this product on the market for a while.

The product that I wish to further modify is an intercom system that would send a call to your mobile device when someone rings your intercom. This will definitely help keep both you and whoever is in your home at that very moment. Now that this privacy issue is ever so present, I feel like adding a feature that will enable a live video stream to your mobile device based on who is in front of your door. This will further keep everyone in your household safe and out of harm's way.

Entrepreneurial Idea

The entrepreneurial idea that I have decided to come up with, is an intercom system that would send a call to your cellphone when someone is at your door. For example, let's say that you're in the bathroom, or you're not home, but are expecting a package of some sort. As soon as the person or delivery man rings your intercom, you immediately receive a phone call and are able to hold the conversation through there. Also, when you're in the bathroom, you can tell them that you will be right there without having to rush. In today's day and age, it is safe to say that almost everyone carries their cellphone with them everywhere they go. Of course, this idea is still very premature, and I hope to further develop it within the upcoming weeks, but it ideally seems as a useful device that would help many people.

This idea definitely coincides with what we spoke about in lecture last week. Last week's lecture had to deal with the rise of social networking sites and how they affect our every day lives. Also, how companies are starting to promote themselves on these sites as well, since every one is constantly updating their statuses and every one is constantly checking other people's statuses. This goes hand in hand with the intercom system because, basically, technology has taken a huge part in people's lives. With this being said, just merely 20 years ago, cell phones were an extremely rare device, and in such a short time, almost every person owns a cell phone. The fact of the matter is that with technology changing almost instantaneously, there will always be updates and improvements that will make each program, device, application that much better. The audio intercom is premature, but with constant updates, I definitely see this idea positively affecting people's lives.
