New Communication Technology, Reflection #4

Hello all!  After an extremely long hiatus, I’m back to blog another try-to-act-smart kind of post.

Shireen touched on a really interesting topic last week, about the world being flat a.k.a globalization.  I think ”globalization’ is a really big word.  So, below is a video that will probably aid in the understanding of what globalization really means.

Globalization is a really double-edged sword.

On one hand, the advancement of technology is bringing us closer and closer to each other.  Yes, shrinking world once again.  On the other hand, there are employment issues that most of us should be worried about because of globalization.

The Side Effect of Bad Customer Service

Yesterday, I went to Far East Plaza with Lizzie and Kellina.  All of us had the intention of buying something (I came home empty handed though).  So you know, if you see things that you like in a shop, you’d stay in there a long time and try a gazillion things on right?

That was what happened when we went into one of the shops there.  I shall not mention names.  So, there were lot of nice things but the prices were a little steep as compared to the rest of the shops at the mall.  So, Kellina tried on like a top and skirt but she didn’t get it.  But, when it was Lizzie’s turn to try, the salesgirl asked, “You want to see the price before you try it?” My god!!!  You don’t know how pissed I was!

These people really don’t know what they are doing!  Even if you want to chase people out of your shop, it’s definitely not the right thing to say!  So what now?!  You think we can’t afford those pieces of cloth you sell?!  Just because you think we’d not buy it, you chase us out in such a blunt way?!

They really do not know what word-of-mouth is!  People focus more on the bad than the good, I’m telling you.  Carry on with such behaviour, and soon you’ll stop seeing customers even walking into the shop!  It’s a matter time when you’ll have to close down because of your bad service towards customers!

I will NEVER EVER patronize that shop again!  Annoying!

New Communication Technology, Reflection #3

Hello everybody!  Back to update another NCT-related post that I think I will have a very hard time blogging.  We learnt quite a few things last week, so I’m probably going to split this post into section.

Continuous Partial Attention (CPA)
In simple terms, it means giving a little bit of my attention to many many different things that require me to think.  For example, I’m blogging right now, while having a gazillion OMONATHEYDIDN’T tabs opened that are waiting to be read, while thinking about how cute Wooyoung is in the Samsung Corby photoshoot (see below for picture), and while listening/trying to memorize K. Will’s ‘그립고 그립고 그립다’ lyrics.  So much thinking going on.

Youngie's in yellow! So cute please!

I think there is a common misconception among people about the long string of activities I described above.  CPA ≠ Multi-tasking. I’m multi-tasking when I’m doing something as mindless as eating, while watching ‘MTV Beast Documentary Episode 3‘ (which I’m going to watch later)!  So, my attention will not be divided.

Corporate Reputation Seminar 2009

Hello everybody!  As you can see from the title, I’m back to blog yet another intellectual entry!

I attended a Corporate Reputation Seminar organized by Reputation Management Associates (RMA) with Vera and Gerlynn at M Hotel on Tuesday.  It was something completely new to me.  I seldom, in fact never, got to attend such events so, you know…  Being able to witness like, a real PR event was quite an experience.  Everyone was dressed in fancy-schmancy suits, shaking each others hands, chatting with each other despite being from different companies.  The way the professionals network?  Two words, ‘Truly Amazing’.  Full of admiration please!

I think the main lesson that I took away is that reputation is everything, be it a company’s or your personal reputation.  Forgive me if I’m wrong about it.  The seminar was a little ‘cheem’ for my understanding.  Hehe.

New Communication Technology, Reflection #2

Hello!  I’m back again to blog another piece of reflection.

Last week, we learnt about the Wisdom of Crowds.  Bee Ping and I led the class in a pseudo-discussion. This theory is simply trying to say is that wiser decisions are made when everyone’s independent decisions are averaged, as compared to decision made by a single person.  I believe the video below would provide a better explanation.

A good example to demonstrate this theory would be the “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” game.

Fun Fact #1!
Did you know that an audience offering an answer to a “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” contestant usually provides the right answer 91% of the time?  Whereas, the smarty-pants friend whom the contestant calls only provides the right answer 65% of the time?

I guess this fact is true.  The more people, the higher the accuracy.  That’s why we see a gazillion surveyors roaming around Orchard Road, looking for targets to ask complete surveys.  I’ve been down that road.

New Communication Technology: Reflection #1

Hello all. This is the first time I’m blogging in eons. My brain isn’t exactly warmed up yet since I haven’t done such strenuous mental exercises in a really long time. The speed at which my creative juices are being produced at is only 20km/hr. As you can see, the title of this post cannot get any more boring.

Anyways, ‘Minority Report‘ was screened in class today.  A pretty interesting futuristic movie though only bits and pieces were shown.  But it kind of gets you a bit paranoid and scared at what the future will become of.
