Week 3 Computer Hardware & Privacy

As mentioned in the lecture having a well functioned computer hardware is very important. I think that the ultimate workstation mentioned in class will be perfect in any environment. The specs include:
Processor: Intel® Core™i7-960 processor. Quad Core; (8MB L2 Cache, 3.20GHz)

Memory: 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 4 DIMMs)

Optical Drive: Blu-ray Disc Drive (BD/DVD/CD burner

Hard Drive:  1.5TB - SATA-II, 3Gb/s, 7,200 RPM, 32MB Cache HDD

Video Card: ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB

Display: Edge-to-Edge FHD Widescreen 15.6 inch WLED LCD (1920x1080) W/2.0 MP

With an ultimate workstation I can take into account the many statistics that the sport sensor brings in. The sports sensor will automatically send the information to the ultimate workstation for experts to analyze it. 

In terms of privacy I think that I will need a very secure network. I don't think that identity theft will be of much concern with this product.

Use of Spreadsheet

A spreadsheet is an important and very useful part of any business. A spreadsheet can allow us to keep track of many statistics and figures. For example, how often a homerun is hit in a stadium and whether it is more likely for a homerun to be hit at night or during the day. Statistics like this are kept but with the SportSensor it would make it much easier for baseball analysts to keep track of things like this. The same goes for a puck being scored or a touchdown being recorded. It allows for a faster, easier more accurate account of all of these statistics. The spreadsheet can also be used to calculate and analyze the results of polls, surveys and research regarding the SportSensor. Are players liking it? Coaches? Fans? etc. With technology always being more and more innovative this can be done at all places from your mobile phone, laptop, or tablet. The use of the spreadsheet can prove that the SportSensor is a great new change in the world of sports.

Introducing the SportSensor

The SportSensor will be the best new invention that will impact sports from now on. How many times have you seen missed calls by referees and umpires in all of sports. This will be a sensor that will send a signal that will tell a referee or umpire when a football has crossed a goal line, a baseball is fair or has officially been a home run and when a puck has officially crossed the ice to the net. By using some sort of tracking device that will accurately tell where the ball/puck is and at a 100% fast rate.
The past week's lecture talked about Twitter and social media. I think that it will be a great idea to have a Twitter Account for each stadium, team, or league that updates you every single time the sensor is used for a home run, goal or touchdown. It will be a great way to get fast, quick updates on games and know that it is 100% correct. I think that sports fans across the country and world can really enjoy something like this and will find it extremely useful. A new, great innovative way that social media has changed the way we watch sports
