I'm Back!

This blog site originally started as an assignment for my undergraduate degree's marketing class. Since I've graduated, I have been getting numerous e-mails about how helpful and informative my blogs were. In all honesty, when I was writing these, I wasn't convinced anyone other than my classmates would read these, but after reading everyone's comments, I have decided to continue to accumulate articles and opinions on subjects I am passionate about and I hope that you continue to share your comments and ideas as well. Thank you again for all the responses, it is overwhelming and motivating and very much appreciated.

The Boss is Here- Robot Style

A company known as iRobot Corp. has created a machine that brings the boss to you in real time. The prime purpose is to allow executives to check in on factory floors, important meetings, and establish a presence though miles away. Is this our new, up and coming, form of management? Will it further spread to employees that can be controlling their own robots from home and will be not be required to come in everyday, if at all? Is this our image of a future successful business model? Is the ability to multitask and      be, literally, in two places at once override face-to-face (in person) contact in the workplace? Furthermore, does this robot invention imply that face-to-face (in person) contact is no longer necessary in our society today? Well... is it?
