7A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1

7A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1

Opportunity: Knowing about certain places in UF on where to park. 

Who: People who plan to park on UF campus
This need can be applied t not just campuses but to large places where parking is a hassle. Parking is not easy and should be made easy.

What: These people have trouble finding a location to park their vehicle
Parking is not taken into consideration when going somewhere. It takes up time and if there is a way to help with parking, then it will relieve a lot of stress.

Why: They don't want a ticket, nor waist their time finding parking
I think that parking is a large issue and adding parking is one solution. But showing a person where to park is a big help as well. This can change the game of parking and help out many people.


Interviews

I interviewed five people. I interviewed a Aramark worker, a campus subway worker, a campus housing employee, my roommate, and a campus librarian. I asked them how hard it is to find parking on campus. They each had 1 of these two answers. They either didn't drive or they drove early to work and muscled to find parking. How they didn't drive they walked to their work or they used public transportation. The ones that told me they took public transportation they explained that they like it because they don't spend money on a vehicle but they do take a lot longer. The car people didn't like driving but they live so far and have to drive. They can't find parking sometimes near their station and end up having to walk a long distance. They interviews wet well. This gave me an idea on what to add to this parking app. People had trouble finding parking in their area where they work. by showing the availability in advance it would help. This saves them time and they can work more. A map and GPS are essential for this to show people around, some people aren't familiar with places and these will help. In summary, this idea I have is very useful for all ages. This also helps with where people park. This can help with how they park as well. It saves them time and it very beneficial. I need to find out more specifications to add to this type of parking app.

    Hi Tommy, I loved reading your blog post. I can't believe I have never thought of an idea like yours. The idea of having an app that detects parking availability is genius. I would use this product because it is very frustrating wasting time to find parking and circling around the town for a place to park my car.

26A – Celebrating Failure

26A – Celebrating Failure 1.  Tell us about a time this past semester that you failed -- whether in this class, or outside of this class. Don't spare any details! It'd be even better if there was something you tried several times this semester, and failed each time. A time I failed was when I took my first accounting exam. It was very hard and I was not prepared for it. I thought I was prepared but I was wrong. 2.  Tell us what you learned from it.    I learned that I was not prepared. I needed to be prepared for my next one. I got study people and they taught me how to get ready for the exam. It was very difficult and I did well. 3.  3) Reflect, in general, on what you think about failure. Failure is hard, isn't it? It's embarrassing, sure, but it also means that we have to change something about ourselves. Talk about how you handle failure (emotionally, behaviorally). Finally, talk about how this class has changed your perspective on failure -- ...

24A – Venture Concept No. 1

24A – Venture Concept No. 1 My parking app 1. The opportunity that I took advantage of is the problem with finding parking in laces that have a high demand in parking. These are places that have a lot of traffic of vehicles coming in and out of an area. Some of the forces that helped me come up with this idea is that I go to a school that has little to no parking. This is a great app that I came up with because it will help identify parking spots and it will save time. It is something that people hate and get irritated about. The main target at the moment for me are college campuses. This is essential because it helps people who go to the college and people who are just visiting. This also goes along with workers as well, along with students. I really liked to add the aspect of football game-days. This will really help. This solves the problem of spending a lot fo timing finding a place to park. This is something that is serious and annoying to people. 2.  The innovat...

2A – Bug List

2A – Bug List I hate going to the gym and the gym is dirty, as in the weights are not re racked. Some people are just very lazy and think that someone else will do it for them. Going to cook a meal and the dishes that I need to use are dirty in the sink.  I usually use some dishes that I can use for dinner for lunch. When dinner comes along I have to do the dishes before I can cook and this hinders me.  My roommate does not do his dishes He is lazy ans cooks very little compared to me, he claims he will do it later but later is way too long for me and I need the sink space.  Streaming the soccer game and getting it in another language. Some soccer games are in another country and English is not always provided.  Going to scoot and the scooter won't turn on, I have to kick start it.  When is sits at an angle the scoot's gas rumples around. This makes me have to kick start it to move the gas into the right place.  Having to have to d...
