Final Reflection

This is my final reflection of what I have learned this semester from working online with Office Management:

  • Technology -There's always something new and excited being released is what I described as a definition for the word technology. Technology control this environment. It refers to tools and machines that may be used to solve real world problems and replacing human being. Technology is the arts for the benefits of life as it is known. We have to be able to keep up with technology for the future, because it can change the way we live. Technology changes in computing, web communication, energy, materials and business. If you want to compete in today's business world, then it' important to keep up with technology in order to get the most out of it. Like this new conflicker worm that I just learned about that affected the website, started April 1st; now it got to be a new technology perform or invented to find a way to control that conflicker. There is only one answer on how to keep up to date with technology and it is to study and do your research. I have now learn to keep up with technology; I like to challenge new things because I like to know what I am working with.
  • Blog is a technology that some people did not know about or how to use it, like me for instance, but I did my research. There are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of content, but also in the way that content is delivered or written. There are personal blogs, corporate blog, and question blog; you can link a blog by media type, by device or by genre. Blog never came across my mind until I register for this class and we had to create a blog account and at that point that is when I start doing my research on the different types of blog. This course goes under the personal type of blogs because even through some of our blogs is posted they may never be read by anyone else but the person that wrote the blog. I never wonder how a person post a blog until I had to posted a blog about "electronic mail" on netiquette as an assignment and that when I really had hand on experience to see how blog actual work. Well, will I ever blog again since now I know how to do one? Of course, who know I may get a job and my company will require me to do a corporate blog. I will feel comfortable by doing one without been stress and confuse. I am glad I took this class and was introduce to blog.
  • When I think about leadership, I think about a hero who has extra-ordinary qualities and a grand vision for their followers. I recently did research on the direct type of leadership and I was in the participative category of leadership style. This requires leaders with new attitudes and skills. The task of organizing our society and improving the quality of life for all depends on leadership and goverance. I understand that leadership can be a two-way street, which will likely be different. It can be bad or negative-due to the multiple loyalties of citizenship/followership. This age of rapid changes of new technologies, such leaders will have enormous power, influence and authority.
