Today started with an ethics class from Elliot, where we spoke about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes, and whether or not she was evil…I think she was the perfect example of a lack of objectivity; I don’t think she was evil. She was objective toward everything that didn’t serve her goal. It honestly seems a little socio or psychopathic since she didn’t care how people were affected by her project, but rather only cared about whether her product could be produced and she could become the female Steve Jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also talked about the importance of understanding both the technical and business sides of industry, if we want to go into management positions or just in general. This definitely makes me feel more strongly about getting an MBA since I think I want to go into a leadership position, although I’m not exactly sure how, where, or what I would be doing. I also think in general it’s just a good idea to learn what goes on to bring a product to market, and gain a real understanding of every step, because you can work much more easily with people when you both can use the same lingo and understand each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the ethics meeting, we went back to working on the project. We did another redesign where we shrunk down the game some more, so that it’s easier for the users to understand what each individual component does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alright, I need to get back to work, so <\/p>\n\n\n\n
