My Idea:
Hi there! My idea for the entrepreneurship project is to create an online thrift/vintage store. The store would be updated on a weekly basis and would hopefully be an effective means to shop inexpensively. I hope to target college women with my thrift store. This blog will follow my planning of the store as I learn more about technology & entrepreneurship through lecture.
On Computer Forensics, Hardware:
Recently in lecture, I learned about the dangers that come with putting private information on personal computers. Since I plan to create an online thrift store, it is very important I maintain the integrity of my store. Customers would be using their credit card numbers, addresses, and other personal information in order to make purchases. When a consumer purchases online, they trust that the person they are purchasing from will maintain confidentiality and in addition, provide the necessary security measures. This is the sort of 'trust' I hope to build and strive for with my online thrift store.
One of my methods of safety would be making sure I properly discard old hard drives. If a computer breaks down (for whatever reason) and the hard drive is obsolete, then I would see it as my company's responsibility to properly discard of this hard drive. The reason being because private information can still be recovered from hard drives. In order to prevent this, I would probably get a hard drive shredder or hire a company to do the shredding for me.
A lot goes into maintaining an online web site. For one, I need computers for each of my employees. I plan to have a computers dedicated solely to my business. There are several applications (e.g. Photoshop, Excel, etc) I plan on utilizing in order to ensure a successful e-commerce web site. Everyone knows it's never convenient to work on a slow computer especially when you need to get things done fast! So I know I will need a computer with sufficient memory/RAM and a working processor that will be able to carry out the functions I need.
