Blogs and Organizations

A company that was established about 6 months ago decides to create a website. This is an electronic company. William the founder decided to have a blog instead. He blogs about new upcoming products,and products already in the market.
The advantage for William would be, he can decide whether or not to purchase particular products from the demand through his blog. His followers would probably give him suggestions if improving the current products. He is creating a relationship with the public.
The disadvantages would be that someone else would have a the same business as him and would profit from the feedback that he receivesand probably would be ahead of William. Another disadvantage would be the cost. As your followers increase you would need to keep the consistency. You would need to allocate more time to blog and probably considering hiring to keep up.

Disadvantages

From my finding there seems to be more advantages than disadvantages. However I was able to find disadvantages. Organizations that function with computers will be able use this authenticating device. There are certain factors that can affect the quality of the image the devices captures. To name a few such as body temperatures, heat radiation, camera calibration and focus. Also this device is quite expensive and not ready for mass production. it might also be very costly to change the old system to this system and also if there are changes to be made

Advantages

PalmSecure seems to be an amazing innovation. Banks, hospitals, government are the ones most benefiting from this authentication system.

In the Banking industries, this system has the potential to replace pin number and also debit cards. It has also the potential to replace signatures when accessing safety deposit box. You would no longer require two keys and having the clients sign every time they would like to access the safety deposit box. Also the bank safe also requires to enter specific codes, this device will eliminate that process and would safe a lot of time and errors.

Medical cards can be replaced with this system, by doing so this will have a few advantages. Patients would not require to carry their medical card and also this is a contactless device which means that there is no contact between patients and staff,which will reduce or eliminate hygene issues. .

Airports, Governments and other organizations that requires high security could definitely implement this device. Palm secure will allow limited access to staff or certain staff. Less room to forget or loose codes, forge someone else's identity.
