Week 6

  This week, I started work on my mobile technology report for The Association of Virtual Worlds. The purpose of this report is to inform businesses and consumers about the recent state of mobile technologies and how they can benefit from using them. A big part of this report focuses on how businesses can use mobile technologies to not only survive economically, but to compete with one another for both consumers and skills in using the latest mobile technologies.

  I find the report challenging because it focuses on business, which I know nothing about. My first two college degrees were in history, so I have no training in business. I am literally writing about how businesses should think, develop mobile skills, compete in the workplace, survive economically, attract consumers and develop working relationships with them, and how certain mobile and Internet technologies can be used by them to benefit their business as well as their consumers. If I had majored in business, I could have probably written more interesting things about how companies can successfully compete economically, learn new technologies, and understand consumers. All I can do is try the best to understand these mobile technologies and how they may benefit companies and their customers.

  This report is intended for businesses, but I am hoping it can simply get them interested in new mobile technologies. I doubt my report will give them a full understanding on how mobile technology can affect them in the current economic, business, and technological climate.
