Changes with Technology!
I have been a waitress since i was eighteen years old and i actually really enjoy it and enjoy the people i work with, but for some reason I'm not very good at ringing alcohol drinks in and i seem to screw them up every time. The Apple Corporation keeps on changing the drinks on our menu and we are at about 2,000 drinks that we can make and it can sometimes be overwhelming when everyone at the table is talking at once and the noise level in through the roof and theirs people walking into.you. The technology that i would love to adopt that would make my waitress life way easier is a key pad at all the tables and the guests could type in what they want for a drink, whether it be an alcoholic drink or non-alcoholic drink. Then i would not have to worry about taking five minutes to ring in one tables drink orders. I think that we as waiters and waitresses would be able to rotate our tables faster, thus making us more money in the end. That probably sounds really greedy, but that is how we make our money. The faster when rotate your tables the faster you will get sat again . I think that their could be a few barriers and obstacles that the restaurant industry would face if we put this technology on all of our tables. First the costumers would need to know how to use the pad. Hopefully they could make it in alphabetical order so it would be easy to understand and access at the tables. Secondly, maybe people enjoy the interaction with a waiter or waitress to order drinks, so when they ring in the wrong thing or don't like it they have some to yell at or blame (hahahaha). Something that might hurt us is that the customer might not want to tip us more since we didn't take their drink order, but with the key pad we would still serve them the drink, they wouldn't get it themselves. I might cost a little to put them in, but in the end i think it would make our life a lot easier and less stressful, thus giving the table and people better service.

My Personality!!
Hi Everyone!!
I took this quiz and received the letters ENFJ, Extroverted, Intuitive, Felling and judging, which is weird because i don't think i judge people as often as i see others judge me, but anyways i thought this assignment was awesome. I have heard about this before and have never really thought about it as deep as i did today. I think that this quiz just skims the top of my personality and who I am as a person. I think this is a good way to start off by finding out about yourself, but in reality a person evolves and learns different things everyday and you continually change as a person through the experience's that you have. I learned that I can adapt easily and that i love being around people. I mean i knew this already, but i think that it is pretty cool that a little test can bring this out. One thing that i thought really didnt fit me is that it says im judging. I think everyone judges, but im not a very judging person when it comes to meeting people for the first time. I get along with all different types of people and would be the first person to talk to someone who is different in any kind of way. Maybe judging is a good thing in a way, it probably kept me out of trouble in high school. I think that you could use this technology in many different types of settings, especially in the work place. You could give these tests to new people who got hired or maybe getting hired just to see what maybe show up. At the end of the test their is a place to click where it has possible job areas that ENFJ personalities usually end up, which is also pretty cool. I looked at the famous people who have my letters and i thought it was awesome to see that alot of news reports have my letters because hopfully someday i will be a news reporter or something in that area.
ENFJWarm, empathetic, responsive, and responsible. Highly attuned to the emotions, needs, and motivations of others. Find potential in everyone, want to help others fulfill their potential. May act as catalysts for individual and group growth. Loyal, responsive to praise and criticism. Sociable, facilitate others in a group, and provide inspiring leadership.

Leaders of Technology
Hi,
I don't think that there is one particular person or group that has taken the leadership role, whereas i believe that all theses groups and individuals have together created technology at its best. A little something from everyone has created this massive want and need for their products. As of right now I think that Apple is doing a great job at creating new and different technologies that people find easy and fun to work with. Anything that can make life a little easier is worth getting if the price is right! I think Apple is in the running for being the leader because in the past year they have created the Apple Ipod Touch, the Apple Ipad, the IPhone and not to mention they are still selling the Apple computer and laptop. There are now Applications that you can download on to your phone and ipod, such as games, dietary regiments,spreadsheets, TV, web browsing and much more for many different types of people with different kinds of jobs.
Top Five:
1.Cell Phones
2. Laptops
3. Skype
4. IPod
5. Facebook/Myspace
When adopting a new technology sometimes it takes time to understand and get the hang of how to use it. As technology becomes more advanced, so does way that we are able to use it. So new technology that is introduced to us can be very time consuming to learn it. Also when adopting a new technology price becomes a huge deal especially if you are a student o that can be one of the biggest downfalls any new technology has.
