Microsoft Excel has many wonderful features to offer the small business user. Excel is most widely known for its spreadsheet function, though it has numerous other uses. Spreadsheets are useful to any type of small business. For example, a spreadsheet can be used as an accountant’s ledger or a professor’s grade book. Invoices and budgets can be prepared with Excel and one might use it to balance a checkbook as well. Spreadsheets are extremely useful in the decision making process and the Goal seek command can even be used to return user specific results. Another popular function of Excel is the ability to prepare and maintain lists such as vendor, customer or employee lists. The user can then use the Filter or Sort commands to produce results that meet a specific criteria. For instance, a tax preparation service might use these commands to return a list of customers who have not used their services for two years or more. They could then market specifically to those customers and perhaps offer them a discount in order to reacquire their business. Lists created in Excel can be converted to pivot tables and pivot charts to summarize the data. What’s exceptional about pivot charts and tables is the ability

Studying for the exam

Studying for the exam differentiates from one student to another according to another according to their preferences. The way I study for the exam is the following.as soon as the professor starts teaching, I start studying. Let’s say we finished two chapters today. I start dividing each chapter into three studying sessions. This technique helps to reduce the stress from studying the five courses that I am taking. Every studying session takes three hours, so I would take a rest every hour for 15 to 20 minutes.i go to eat something or grab a cup of coffee and return back to continue studying. The reason I am taking small periods of rest is that I am giving my mind a chance to rest, so I would be able to recall what I have studied 15 minutes after to transfer the information from the short-term memory to my long-term memory and be able to recall what I have studied.

To illustrate, let say my studying session is three hours. I take rest every one hour for 15 minutes, then recall what I have studied at the end of the period. This way I would be able to recall what I have studied for one day.Afterwards, the next day before I start the next session, I go over what I have studied before .it takes about ten minutes. Then I go over the material for the second time. After recalling the information for the second time, I would be able to recall it for the second week. That is what I do when I study.

Are mobile payments devices really a tool for the masses? Yes

The NFC technology is very convenient and easy to use. since smart phone became a essential thing we have to carry everyday, with NFC mobile payment tech, we would not have to bring our wallet and cash all the time. Also, the mobile payment could be used every store and could be replaced other payment method such as credit card and Metro card.

In what other ways may the NFC technology be used?

NFC (Near Field Communication) tech has been wildly used around us. A typical example is Metro card in Korea. In Korea, Most people just scan their smart phone to get on Bus, subway, or taxi.  NFC Tech can be also used in area of sales, management of organizations . Customer can check stock of products and price with the NFC tech.

In Russia technology is well developed, yet, it is not easily accessible in every household. Internet is the worst concern of mine. WiFi is not a common thing like here. Cabled internet is also not available freely. You should have a phone cable leading to the house, in order to have internet. Besides, unlimited internet is a luxury. I cannot imagine staying a day without it now.

How technology has been changing in Vietnam

The rate of technology development has increased extensively in the past few years in my country. However, the technological infrastructure still is limited due to the hazardous natural disasters such as flood, hurricane, etc. Also, the technology has been developed in fast pace but it still only happen in the urban cities. There are not enough investment resources, managerial skills, and knowledge to create better solutions . Security system is not strong enough to prevent credit faults, and losing privacy information of customers. The online credit card system has not been developed.  However, technology has been beneficial to collaborate and implement projects to help the poor people.

How is Google using its monopoly of the Internet to further its own interests?

The article revealed the truth behind how Google manipulating its own resource bases and controlling the consumer’s choices. Because of the monopolistic power it has as the most powerful search engine, Google does not display the most useful search results for their customers anymore. Instead, they put their products higher or prominent over their competitors and destroy the innovation environment for competitors be able to come up with a better product. Most of their products such as Zagat, yelp always list first on the search engine and it hinders the opportunities for any other competitors. As the consequence, many potential competitors are forced out of business and consumers do not have the best choices that served their needs.

What is going to happen to Google if they are found guilty of violating anti-trust laws?

If Google are found guilty of violating anti trust laws, it has to faced with lawsuits, fine, or even necessitate changing the way it operate. These consequences are costly and time consuming for Google.

I remember I visited my relatives for the first time in the Russian countryside when I was 9 years old. I was accustomed to watching TV, going on the internet, and playing video games back home in the United States. When I arrived in Russia, my relatives had none of those. They didn’t have a computer or anything similar to that in the household. They did have a TV but only had about 15 channels.

Visiting again seven years later, everything was different. It was almost like the technology caught up in that area. My relatives had laptops and used Skype and Facebook. The younger kids had video games such as Nintendo DS and Playstation. My aunt who is a lawyer said that purchasing the laptop made her job that much easier. She was able to have all her documents in one place- instead of keeping paper documents.

It was interesting to see how quickly technology changes. During the first visit, it seemed that there was almost no technology in this area. This didn’t affect anyone because they were accustomed to this. However for me- it was like traveling back in time. Seven years later, I was surprised to see so many changes in technology in the household. I’m sure during my next visit, it will be even more interesting to see how technology got upgraded!
