Info Tech

Well that was our last class. I'd have to say I actually learned more than I expected to. I'm still genuinely freaked out about the security class and now I'm constantly thinking about that--especially when I just saw a commercial for a bank that said you can check your records from your phone. I yelled at the TV, "don't do it!". Yes, I am fully aware of my dorkiness.

I also find myself thinking of the internet bloggers as terrorists. As a marketer, this is something that I really only briefly thought of before this class. My previous company used to get attacked by a weekly periodical, an "US Weekly" for our industry called the Monday Morning Quarterback. The information was always so off base that our company usually just ignored it. In most cases it helped us because our competitors were the main readers of the Quarterback and often believed what was published, but our trusted customers knew better. I wonder if we should have responded? How would you? I'll be looking into this as time goes on...I never knew bloggers had so much clout.

Now I need to study for the test even though grades really don't matter. I've never once had an executive ask me what my grades are...but just the same I guess I should study...
