Week 4

This week in the lecture we leant about servers, hardware, system software and web domains.I learnt how these affected large business and why they are needed for a business to become successful. In the lecture we also watched a video on Googles servers and how they have thousands of servers on just one floor. I found interesting the way that Google use water in order to keep their servers cool.
In the seminar we got given a worksheet to complete. The work sheet was of different questions and data which we had to put into an excel spreadsheet in the form of tables.

Week 3

In the lecture a lady came in who owned a business and told us the problems in which she is facing as a start up business. We have then been giving the task to find solutions to her problems on a budget.
In the seminar we answered questions that we were given the week before in a group. Once this was completed we then formed into groups that we made the week previosly. We had to come up with a business name and we exchanged numbers so we could keep in contact outside of uni. We then spent some time doing formulas on Excel.

Week 2

In the second week of this module we learnt about businesses in the digital world.We learnt how it can be both an advantage to a firm and also a disadvantage. We learnt the progression of business through the digital age and how this compared to when the internet wasnt avaliable.
In the seminar I learnt how to use Excel properly and how to create a spreadsheet. We used formulas which when certain boxes are changed the formula automatically updates.
