Buying things and spending money has never been easier. I could buy something on amazon right now and get it tomorrow with little to know effort. But safe to say I have brought a lot of things online from clothes to shoes and tables and chairs. I have even bought technology such as tablets and laptops online from amazon and various tech stores. That being said a few things that I would not buy online is for one big household appliances, because well their expensive and a pain to return. Things like couches, TVs, dining room sets is something I would not buy online, even they are offered and I'm sure others do. Another thing I would not buy online is a car. I don't think that requires any explanation other than, well it’s a car. the Last thing I wouldn't buy online is a house or land. I think it’s kind of a given why, the most likely reason being that a house is a huge purchase and pictures are often changed and altered. And buying land online is probably a very dumb idea be...

It had me thinking about maybe publishing my own book and seeing the experiences firsthand. It was also very interesting to hear the many projects he is a part of and how it helped him grow. Being an entrepreneur is something and starting my own business is something I've always wanted to do.

One thing I found interesting is that he had a backup plan for his books just in case Amazon changes up its algorithm and he doesn’t get as much traction. This was interesting to me because it cemented in the fact that you should never get too reliant and should always prepare to be able to cover your basis. Another thing I noticed is that in order to be successful you have to try and fa...

The scavenger hunt was a fun assignment to have. It showed our stalker potential, and how scarily good we are at finding information. My partner and I decided that splitting the list was a more efficient way of getting it done, he worked on the last half and I, the first.  Some of the things on the list were easy to find, such as information on myself that isn’t a social media account, and the shopping cart items. I had a general idea coming into this assignment about how it would go. Finding information online is easy at times but can also be a bit frustrating when you are looking for specific thing. I, however, was very surprised at the amount of information that I was able to find, especially on the Professor (he probably should have not given us free rein on his information).  Finding out who the professors’ sisters were wasn’t the difficult part finding out who the middle sister was that was a whole other adventure in itself (that required looking for birth...
