Hello World! I am writing this post a bit late today after coming from a really hectic week. Our CEO Brian and I were talking on what to share to you guys to make sure we do this as a weekly thing and he suggested this video. The video is courtesy of code.org and as hard core IT professionals passionate about coding ourselves, we wanted to share this to encourage all of you guys to do the same. 🙂
7 Technology Lists Where the Philippines is on the ‘Top 10’
While I was taking up my MBA, I had to do some environmental analysis for IT in the Philippines. I found some interesting facts about Philippine IT usage despite the fact that we have relatively low internet penetration (32.4%) compared to our overall population. Here’s some technology lists where the Philippines made it to the ‘Top 10’. Some had been fairly difficult to validate because it sounded like they were just commentaries. I provided you the source so you can decide if they seem factual or not. Continue Reading “7 Technology Lists Where the Philippines is on the ‘Top 10’”
Frustration Buster
Are you frustrated in life, in business, or in career?
I believe everyone experienced frustration at some point in their life to overcome frustration. Charles C. Noble said, “You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures.”
Look ahead, focus on reaching your destination, improve, keep going, and live a happy life!
Disruptive Innovation
I had always been a fan of innovation, because I like change. I think change is progress. Some technology might be too cutting edge as of the moment but that in due time it gets mainstream adaption and eventually becomes the ‘norm’.
In the industry there is a term called Disruptive Innovation coined by Clayton Christensen. It is described as “a process by which a product or service takes root initially in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then relentlessly moves up market, eventually displacing established competitors“. Disruptive Innovation companies usually focus on under-served or non-customers by delivering a simpler product addressing a specific need with less features but at a cheaper cost than the mainstream product. This innovation then gains wider popularity eventually going mainstream and becomes the new incumbent product to take down.  You can read more about Disruptive Innovation from this link.

Information​ Technology​: A galaxy far far away…
After 14 years of being in the IT industry (including college), I find that many people still feel the IT field is from outer space and IT professionals are like aliens. As computers slowly try to rule the world (yes, including the Philippines), many people still find themselves lost in translation every time they try to deal with their device. With the proliferation of social media and mobile, more and more people are using buzzwords like google, facebook, youtube and email. As more technology becomes available to users, there will be more questions on how to use it, how to abuse it, and how to undo the damage after some abuse is done.
