This week in class we learned how information and information systems carry out input and output instructions. Input can be many things such as keyboards, mouses, tablets, bar code readers, touch screens and iPod's. All of these output either text, graphics, information audio, video etc... Input and Output would always be occurring in my entrepreneurial idea.
Input is always occurring with my business program. Customers will always be using a keyboard to type in their blog posts or messages to other users to help them with music searches. There could also be audio input for my software. People could upload youtube videos or upload streams of songs so users can hear what the other wants and find a more accurate search. Another method of input is if I did incorporate it with Twitter or Facebook would be to comment or make a page on Facebook and people would see what I would write. I could also upload sample videos or sample tutorials of how to use my product. Input is an essential part of my software because almost every second a form of input is being done.
Output is obviously everything that my product gives back to it's users and the employees working behind the scenes. All the information received by customers and employees will be seen on the screen. They will see people's concerns, posts, complaints, recommendations, youtube posts etc... Another form of output would be the music coming out of the speakers. When you play the song, the music is the form of output that is released through the speakers. Another form of output could be the company logo or overall design. I would make the look of the product very attractive so people are drawn to the product and the images all the users see is the output. Input and Output is always occurring right in front of the users very own computer screen.
Great focus on input and output - this definitely heavily applies to your idea. Try to think outside the box in terms of input and output. For instance, one thing that I have also found interesting is the "Shazam" app where it listens to music and tells you what song it is. Perhaps you could do something where it listens to music and tells you music that is similar by the beats, instruments used, etc. Great job overall though!
