My Failure One (or rather many times) that I've failed this semester has to be in my Programming class. We get lab assignments almost every week, and when we don't, we usually get a big project. And from the very first lab assignment, I noticed the challenge that this class was going to be. The Professor, Joshua Fox The Great, has a rather interesting philosophy: he doesn't teach everything we'll ever need for our assignments or projects, just a good amount. If there are any specifics that we need (or as it is in most cases we don't need but still want to use) that's up to us to learn, research, and implement. And no, that's not a complaint. He is arguably the best instructor in U.F, let alone the CISE department. (Sorry Dr. Pryor) In every assignment, there was always that time when I thought this was harder than I had ever expected, after (surprisingly) cruising through Programming 1 without a problem. Yet, after an increasing amount of time with ever...
The Opportunity Well, as I explained in my Bug List post, mobile payments are overlooked by both people and retailers. But I believe that people can benefit from a standardized mobile payment service. So, humans have a natural need for easy things. All innovative creations are a direct result of someone trying to make life easier for everyone else. During my time at Publix, I noticed people both appreciating that the card readers had gotten twice as fast, and at the same time complaining that paying can still be a hassle sometimes. I also noticed people trying to use different types of gift cards, and the inconveniences associated with them. This need is mainly present in young people, since we are the most exposed to technology, and also the most up-to-date with its changes and latest features. There are also slightly older people who try to stay ahead of the tech curve, and might also greatly benefit from this change. It has sort of always been there, and is also sort of relat...
Segment: [Young]* Adult Account Holders *Primarily between 25 - 35, but if they are 18-24 and have an account they apply too. Interviews: After conducting the interviews, I learned that when someone wants to open a new bank account, they consider the banks with a branch closest to either their home or workplace. This is to choose the bank that best fits their needs, while still being a reasonable distance away. Some customers do care about their mobile banking experience, others see it only as a bonus. For those who already have accounts, and aren't happy with their current app, they consider going to the bank in person just to save time. Customers' preferences may differ based on their banks. Some prefer using the app because they can do it all through it, others prefer going to the bank because their app doesn't have some features, and they don't feel like spending 10 minutes or longer trying to figure it out. This specific segment in particular is mo...
