Did you Know about GIS systems? Fascinating

Hey, how we doing?

So let’s start off with Happy Easter coming soon to a Sunday near you!

Well peeps, I started another class called Emerging Technologies and in the short 2 weeks I’ve been in class, I have learned some really awesome and amazing stuff about the IT and the GIS systems and DSS. The crazy thing about this is, we all use this type of system everyday, unless you’re hiding under a rock and haven’t started using a computer yet…though I doubt that.  WIU also uses this technology as well, it’s all about Decision Making and what West does with it.

So let’s see how West uses this technology, first WIU and Intelligence, finding what to fix like Adobe Connect, we’ve all had problems signing in to it, then we walk on over to the Design which somebody, somewhere finds a way to solve this problem, you got to develop all the possible solutions you can in order to solve the problem, then we waddle on over to Choice, we got to pick a fix, you know examine and weign the merits of the possible solutions and consequences. Now let’s crawl on over to Implementations where WIU carries out the chosen solution, check out the results and then makes the adjustments as necessary.  I wonder if they’ve done that yet with Adobe Connect! (hmnnnnnnn) I’m thinking!!!

Now we have to check out the Decision Support Systems; this thingy is highly flexible and interactive IT system that is designed to support decision making when the problem is not structured, now what the heck is that, ok I’m getting to it! This is when they bring the experience, intuition, judgement and knowledge to the case, but the for real objective of the DSS is to improve your effectiveness as a decision maker by helping with assistance that compliments  your insights, do we do this already everyday?

Now ya’ll know I’m just skipping all over the place, but I’ma get to my point here in a minute!  I use this geographic information system all the time, and I know you do too, you know looking on mapquest and google maps and getting driving directions  and trying to find an address, well so does WIU, but there stuff is geared towards the business end and finding new ways to keep us students learning new stuff and tracking our habits, you know, when we go to class, our grades, what we are interested in and stuff and things like that. That artificial Intelligence is some good stuff for Real Estate folks, for the National Weather System, for Banks and for keeping track of a whole lot of other stuff.

Watch out now, cause it almost seems like these machines are imitating human thinking and behavior.  You think that’s true, well if the IT has come thus far, no telling what else we don’t know or might happen, cause you got to keep up with this modern technology and kinda know what you doing when you point that mouse and click! It’s totally amazing like a human being is in your computer, when all the time it is really TECHNOLOGY!

Well, this is my joy for the month, GIS and DSS, and AI, now everybody go out and get an ANT farm and see what they do and how they live, it’s totally awesome  (Swarm Intelligence).  OK now, I’ll see ya’ll again soon!

Have a wonderful Celebration next Sunday!

Pretty amazing stuff, don’t you think?

P.S.: Knowledge sho’ ’nuff is POWER!
