9A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

9A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

Who: Through the interviews I figured out there were different views on this app than others. Some schools did not really have this problem to the extremes as I did. I talked to someone who went to UCF and they have more than enough parking, explained. I also talked to a Santa Fe student, and they have a good amount of parking. Yes, they shared they would like this app because they knew it can help them find parking, but even faster and they can save time and not waste it looking in the wrong area. The common theme was that they would use this app to save time and not wander in areas that has no hope in parking. The difference was that access to parking is more accessible in some areas than others. Along with that UF parking is a lot more limited, not free, and the campus itself is smaller than others. Some people explained to me as well that vehicles are essential in mobility in their campus. Amenities and classes are too far apart from each other. UF is a campus that a car is not essential. 

What: a big issue that people have to keep in mind is that they aren't the only ones using the app. Another person is using it as well, possibly. This can create traffic. People can be confused on where to go.

Why: The main problem that needs to be addresses is being able to park on campus without spending a lot of time looking for a place to park.

Inside boundary: 
Who: students, employees, visitors, anyone planning to be on campus traveling with a vehicle
What: More features needed to be added so people aren't having traffic for 1 spot
Why: parking is sometimes limited, or not known, and finding parking is a hassle

Outside boundary:
Who: Campuses with easy accessible parking
What: bring attention to certain parking spots
Why: Taking away time just to find parking is wrong, bring a new feature to add parking limitations

    Hi Thomas, I really enjoyed reading your blog post. I think a traffic detecting app is genius but I can see how there can be flaws arising with this app. To explain, I can see how there could be issues when a ton of people are using the app at once and then once they get to the parking spot it has just been taken seconds in advance. I see lots of trial runs that would need to be taken in order to get this app at a high success rate.

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...
