Lecture Post Bits and Bytes and Cloud Computing

Entrepreneurial Idea Overview:

The “bus locater” app is free app for all smartphones. It’s an app that will allow people to see the bus schedule and to find, locate and see how far the bus that they are waiting for is away from the bus stop and how long it will take for the bus to come.

Lecture:

       As mention in lecture bits and bytes are how fast the data is transferred from system to app and app to system and how big the file is/ how much spaces the app takes up. For my “bus locater” app to be fast accurate and up to date or seconds (in my case) I would need to make it able to transmit data in a rate of x bytes per second. Also the app will also allow users to save their bus stops and to send requires to the coming bus that they need to stop at a certain bus stop so there also needs a number of bytes for storage.

       Also as mentioned in lecture, cloud computing is a system that software exist in the clouds which means that there is no need to pay, buy or install the software as they are ‘floating’ around in the network. My “bus locater” app could use cloud computing by having all the users saved bus stops saved in an excel spreadsheet created in Google Doc this way I wouldn’t have to worry about users stops getting erase and I could have back up data saved into a Google Doc file so that in case I need to back it up due to a malfunction of some kind, I would have may data stored somewhere would out having to buy and/or installing a software.
