Technology issues 10. Conclusion Introduction Being a student of System Analysis and Design course, we have been required to come up with a concept whereby understanding an organization business function and purpose is set as the baseline. We are also required to propose an idea of a potential project to overcome the existing problem or to improve the business value. Keeping that in mind, we opted on treating Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) itself as our organization business. What is the problem in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS that we are going study and analyse? Currently, the Hostel Registration process is done manually and there is no system available for students to register their hostels. There are setbacks in the manual hostel registration systems which complicates the whole process and makes the life’s of the students much more difficult. So, we are taking up this context as our problem and proposing an idea to overcome it which is to introduce an online hostel registration portal. The team consisting of Vijay Nair, Siva Kumaaran and Kugarubaan worked on a project in order to analyse and the possible opportunities to add value to the system and to cater better registration process for the students...

...User Manual Critique Chris Bolte ENG/221 November 5, 2012 Janet Chappell So many people depend on some form of media to escape the everyday grind, stay informed, or simply to relax. Media comes in many forms, such as film, radio, internet, and text. Consumers all over the world fill their homes with these many forms of media. In fact, as of May, 2011, consumers worldwide spent over $4.2 billion dollars on home entertainment, and that figure is down from the previous year by 9.8% (Dan, 2011). That is not $4.2 billion spent a year -- that is $4.2 billion spent during the first quarter alone. With all of those media devises in all those homes, it can be a hassle keeping track of all those remote controls. After all, everything comes with a remote control these days. Many have tried to organize the handful of remotes that are in their possession by labeling them, keeping them in a designated drawer or basket, or even gone as far as “Velcroing” them to the wall. However, there is a better method to the madness that requires a little less creativity, but more ingenuity. It is a great little solution known as the universal remote. In most cases, you can put up to four devices onto one remote, eliminating the frustrating remote control cluster that many people deal with, and they can cost as little as $4 and up to more than $100. It all depends on your needs and budget. In this user manual critique, the item reviewed is the One For All Universal Replacement...
