knowledge management system: This is where you share information in a company to help the company make a better product. This will help the company from reinventing the wheel as they say. If a company shares their knowledge then in the end they will be much more effective than if they worked alone. If other companys would share knowledge then product all over the world could be made better, but that comes at a stee price becase the big companies would run all over the small companies once they had the knowledge. This is why it will never happen but it would be the best for the whole if it did happen. knowledge management system is a great way to make a better product and to be more productive in a company this could save a company thousands to millions over time just sharing what everybody is working on.

Network Effects:This deals with the connections that people have with one another. The more connections someone has the better the spread of knowledge that can happen. When connections are made with other people you pick up their connections to. So if you told someone one thing he could tell the people that he new that you didnt and you reach even more people. The network effect grows very fast and is very effective in spreading knowledge to many people. Facebook ,myspace and many other social networks are great examples of the network effect. Businesses love to use social networks to increase their advertisement potential. Network Effects is a great way to meet people and a great way to do business, The more people you know the better off you are.

Wisdom of Crowds: Is the more people you have that are well informed on a subject and can give you data the better your accuracy will be for your data. This type of polling can be very onesided if the topic in the region is opinionated. The questions that can be asked in this type of polling have to be thought out carefully. The overall outcome of wisdom of crowds is that is you can get a none opinionated question, then your data will be closer than any other form of data that you can capture. This is done by averaging the knowledge or data you collected from the crowd together. The more information you collect on one topic the better overall picture that can be seen of the question at hand on the topic.

knowledge economy: This is were people share the knowledge that they have learned over the years at a job and share it with other people. Instead of letting people make the same mistakes that someone else made many years ago is is better to share your information for the over all good of the organzation. knowledge economy is the goal of making innovation through the sharing of information. The more information that can be known the greater chance that something will be made that will propell the orgaization forward. knowledge economy is basicly the sharing of information with other people for the greater good of the organization, People outside the organization and for the over all good of the information community.

Relational databases are the best things that have came a long in computers for businesses ever. The speed at which businesses picked up after better data could be captured is crazy. I think I found what I like to do in computers and that is database.

Facebook is a great way to meet people but why do so many people want to miss use the system. Everytime I get on a person will have sent me 15 requests to play the 100 games that facebook has. People can you just use facebook to catch up with lost friend or people you have not seen in a while or even talk with your friends dont play facebook games for 5 hours to get to level 50 so the computer will tell you that you have reached the magic horse level.

If everyone thinks that access is an out of date database system, why do still have to learn it in school. I think that access is very usful in certain aspect. Of course new thing have been made that are better but dont kick access to the curb yet.

Security Issues

I think security should be handeled more by the user than the IT department. The IT department can do their part, but the user should do their best to use good security practices so that they can prevent as mush security breches as possible. This will help the IT department greatly I think in their daily activitles so that they can worry about bigger problems.
