MIT Final Review

I am very sorry that I missed the deadline for posting my final review, because I have lost myself among those homework, final projects, papers, presentations, and finding an internship, which are all happening at one time. But of course, I know that everything will be fine and I will survive anyway. So---no complain:)

I feel that I did good job on the final presentation of MIT. It was so nice and happy to hear that professor appreciated my work very much. However, I feel that if I could have more IT findings in my final project, it would then be even better.

About the paper, I would say that I am not very satisfied with the quality of my work. I wish that I could have more time on it and really paying attention on details and analyzing it in a more systematic and logical way.

The very cool thing about the class was that I could hear many different and interesting ideas and discussions about IT. Acknowledging that IT can have huge positive impact in many areas like business and social change, I am sure that I will keep my eyes on it while updating my IT knowledge and skills frequently. How can I utilize it well---hen---- will be the driver drives me to explore m0re ---:p

I will keep this blog and hope that we can keep in touch forever.

Such an amazing art, culture, nation---I am very proud to be a Tibetn.

Midterm Review

Time flies, I cannot even believe how fast it is running away. I like to use this phrase, though one of my English teachers back home told us that it is better not to use cliché in writing since people use it too much. However, I always feel that it did really express my feeling about time perfectly.

Looking back, I am not very confidence to say that I have learned a lot from this class. However, two things for sure are that I have a blog, which is much fun to explore, and I have started to use gmail. Via this two tools and communicating with my MIT classmates, I have also been discovering other Internet tools /resources. For example, World travel map from Anne and Pandora from Mary.

In theory side, I think what I have learned from this class is that I now know that MIT is actually a very systematic, complex, and skilled work. It is not just Technology itself only, but involves much other stuff. Good infrastructure, clear visions of organizational goals, strategic and logistic planning, systematic management, financial support, employee’s capabilities, markets environment, and so on.

I do not know where and what should a manager start to deal with this big task exactly yet, but I think a basic understanding of the picture, and continuing study and explore in this field will definitely bring me a satisfactory outcome in the future.

Learning is a life long journey, and I am quit confidence that I will do a good job in the future.

Lost---:(


I agree that technology has made our life convenient in some ways, but as the flip side of the coin, it has also made our life more complicated some how. For example, camera, as a very popular on going high-tech product, has brought us much, much fun. However, the complex functions provided by nowadays camera sometimes does driving people a little crazy.

Anyway, the reason I want to say something about it today is because I had some problems for understanding those high-tech things. Today at a bank, I was very surprisingly told by a banker that they charged me $ 38 dollar because I overdraw $ 6 dollar. “What???--- it does not make any sense because I budged for it, and the receipt that I got from ATM last time showed that I have some money left -----.” Sadly, the respond was that I should have wrote down all my transactions. Moreover, I should not rely on the ATM receipt in the future since it does make mistakes sometime ------ So--- s0---so what ???--- so what does the ATM for???

I do not know , just feel lost----. Yeah, the problem could be explained by saying that I, as a foreigner, do not know the western banking system; the machine does not works well sometimes ------but--- but ----wait a minute---- ???----

I do not understand, and I am a little confused now-----

Have You Gotten Home Safely?


Stephanie and I met in Lhasa in 2003, from that time on, we have become very good friend. I have never thought that I would have such a close friend from the west, who I can share deep down feelings without having any worries.

During the one week visiting, we had classes together; we went out for dinners, walked around the downtown Brattleboro, watched movies, and went to swim. The Time was very short, but we had great time together.


Because of her, I re-knew SIT and Brattleboro, where I am always busing but never have had chance to really see and feel about. After walking around with Steph, SIT, which I used to feel like a summer camp and an uncommon graduate school, has become a very lovely and cool academic land to me; Brattleboro, where I used to feel not much to dig, has become a very sweet and fun town to explore.

Following this joyful feeling, I am going to find more time to really feel and enjoy it. I can feel that this place has already had some sentimental attachment to my heart. I can tell that I love this place, where I have started to feel and see the world in a broader scope. I am already missing this place, where I complained and cried more often then somewhere else.:)
Thank you very much—Stephanie for bringing this beautiful memories and windows to me.

Wish you a safe and happy journey back to home.

MIT LEARNING GOALS

This is my first time having an access to both Gmail and Blogger, and I am very excited to know more about Management of Information Technology (MIT) by learning more about IT from those two websites as my MIT professor suggested.

Because IT is a huge part of our life no matter where you are in the world, MIT is becoming more and more important to a manager. As a person who does not have a particular background and skills in this field, I hope that I can acquire some practical skills from this class. I also want to know what is going on in MIT fields, the world trends, as well as to know how to use MIT to manage an organization in a more efficient and competitive way.
