What is MIS?

Hi,

Everyone that reads this blog can easily answer the question: What is Technology? But what is MIS? MIS or Management Information Systems is a subset of the overall internal controls of a business covering the application of people, documents, technologies, and procedures by management accountants to solve a business problem such as costing a product, service, or a business-wide strategy according to Wikipedia. In other words, if you take data from a certain product like how much sales it has made and what type of people buy this product, and then convert that data into a prediction for the product.

For example, lets say your business is a sports equipments seller (e.g Dicks Sporting Goods) and the Spalding basketballs are having the highest sales, what would you do? You would use this to your advantage by finding another similar product that are having high sales as well as the same type of people who are buying the Spalding basketballs and make a deal. Lets say air pumps are that similar product. Then you can make a deal saying if you buy 2 basketballs, you get a free air pump. Generally speaking, if you take one popular product and then find another popular one that has a similar aspect, make a deal.  

But this is just getting a nibble of MIS. If you liked this post, go ahead and dive in to more as this is a very broad topic. 

Cheers,

Touch Screen

I have owned the Dare for about two months now and have had no problems with the touch screen. This was my first touch screen phone and was extremely easy to get used to. I’ll say, I’ve used iPhones and iPod Touches, and the apple touch screen is superior to pretty much any other device. However, LG definitely means business with the Dare. At first start-up the phone needs to be calibrated, but this is a one-time thing (that can be redone if you feel the need). After the initial calibration the touch screen works like a charm. There have been a few times when I have pressed and nothing has happened, but after locking and unlocking the phone it works fine. The scrolling isn’t as much of a natural “flick” as with the iPhone, but it works with some practice. I have found that although it takes some used to, the virtual QWERTY keyboard works fairly good too. Overall, the touch function, which is obviously the most prominent and important feature, is wonderful to work with.

Camera

Another remarkable feature of the LG Dare is the 3.2 megapixel camera. My, what LG does with 3.2 megapixels! I have used phones with 5.0 megapixel cameras and I am not exaggerating when I say that the Dare totally murders them. The Dare takes beautiful pictures and fairly good quality video. While no phone’s camera is as good as a stand-alone digital camera (yet), the LG Dare has in my opinion, one of the best cell phone cameras.

Music

I have never been one to use the music player on my cell phone. I have always been attached to my iPod. My iPod is however, in its final days. It’s pretty old, and I was considering getting a new one, but they do cost a lot. When I purchased the LG Dare I knew it had a music player but thought it would be crap. In short, I was wrong. While it in no way comes close to the iPod Touch or even iPod for that matter, it is a great little player itself. It has a similar view to that of Coverflow. Although it is pretty clearly a copy, it is a nice feature. One downside though is that this Coverflow-like view can only be accessed when a song is playing (or paused) and not just when browsing through your library. To make up for the lack of originality and functionality with the music player, you can easily have music playing in the background when doing simple tasks such as texting or editing contacts. But of course there are flaws with that too; when you use the camera or an app such as Mobile IM the music pauses. No product is made without flaws, but I do wish they would’ve fixed those problems.

Overview

Overall, I would say the LG Dare is a great phone. If you have Verizon and want a phone that compares to the iPhone, while it’s not a clone, the Dare is a great substitute. With a full touch screen, an amazing camera/camcorder, full HTML web browsing, a music player and even downloadable apps, LG has done it. I would definitely recommend checking out the LG Dare at your local Verizon Wireless dealer!
