Databases.

This week both in class and in the reading we learned about Databases and Privacy. We learned about the different things that the databases can do, as well as the conveniences of using them. We also learned about the privacy problems with having these databases.

For my invention, and for really any type of product, and database would be essential. It would be the most convenient way of keeping track of the production of my invention, as well as the people who are ordering the product. It would just be so much easier to be able to find a small bit of information from the database using a query then looking through a disorganized folder or word document.

However, privacy would also be an issue with the databases that my company would use. We would have to make sure that we had a reliable and hard to hack security program protecting the database. We would also need a very clear and easy to find privacy policy so that all the information is out there for the buyers to see. This is very important for the credibility of the company.
