Forming an opportunity belief I believe there is an unmet need in regard to students focusing on schoolwork. In this day and age, with smart phones becoming more commonly used, people can get easily distracted, especially when it comes to working on assignments for school. I think the people who have this need are people that are in school and are over the age of 13 (the age when people first start getting cell phones, generally). I think this need is relatively new and has been around since smart phones were invented, but it has probably become a bigger problem lately since smart phone use is more widespread now. I think what people are doing now to meet this need is just trying to practice self-control and limiting smart phone use when they are doing schoolwork. I think that we could use this opportunity to make an app that limits your cell phone use while you are doing schoolwork, so that you can focus on schoolwork and not be distracted by your phone.   I am 70% sure this o...

My Entrepreneurship Story Photo: "Rhett and Link", YouTube personalities that I looked up to When I read the prompt for this assignment about a time I had been exposed to entrepreneurship in my life, the first thing that came to mind was the time that me and my friend in high school tried to start a YouTube channel. For the most part we just wanted to do it because we thought it would be fun, but part of us was hoping we could make a lot of money out of it. We were a bit naïve and we had high hopes that we would be the next [insert famous youtuber of the early 2010s here]. For our YouTube channel we wanted to do a bit of everything: video game commentary, movie reviews, news, entertainment, and anything else that interested us. In principal, we thought there was no way we wouldn’t be successful because we were covering so much ground as far as content goes. In practice, we ended up losing the motivation to work on the YouTube channel because we tried to do so many ...

Assignment 2A – Bug List 1.       The line is too long at the grocery stores on the weekends. Why it exists: A majority of people do their shopping on the weekends because they work during the week, so in general they do not have time to shop Monday-Friday. Also, there are a lot of sporting events on the weekends, so people are more inclined to go to the store on the weekends to get food for the big game. 2.       The traffic is terrible when I am driving towards Los Angeles Why it exists: Los Angeles is one of the most popular cities in southern California and as such residents and tourists alike will drive out there for many reasons. One of the reasons is because there are many hot spots and tourist attractions that people like to visit in Los Angeles, so there are always people driving out there especially during rush hour. Another reason traffic going towards LA is bad is because people have to drive to LAX 3.  ...
