From the introduction of a paper on real-time business intelligence systems (shown here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BFKefjHmtZe/), I saw that I selected industries to review based on my background and experiences. For the paper, I selected: (1) transit companies that provide real-time updates on the next bus or train, (2) credit card companies that take action based on suspected fraud (from monitoring of account activity), and (3) finance companies that need real-time market data updates. More on these selections will come later.

One of my Instagram posts (https://www.instagram.com/p/BFCKKeoiyIj/) reminded me that I worked on this assignment at Starbucks. I can see my notebook and pen in the picture. Sometimes I went low tech. That Starbucks is in Gainesville, FL. I prepared quite a few papers at that Starbucks.

I also prepared a lot of papers in the computer lab at my apartment community in Gainesville, FL. The environment in the lab was a little like an office environment. I frequented there after a plumbing accident flooded my apartment. I found some Instagram posts that reminded me of the flood as well as papers I prepared in the lab:

“At the main leasing office (in my apt community) waiting for an update on my apt. The carpeting needs to be dried. Don’t think I could be in there today and maybe tomorrow.

“Waiting to “take possession” of my apartment…work should finish today…in the meantime, I am in the computer lab working on my assignment/paper..this one is interesting…it deals with website design and I will use or maybe reference an article I wrote in 2014.”
