Assignment 8A – Solving the Problem
Opportunity
As a result of the constant, amplified pressure to do well on exams, students at the University of Florida often study at the major UF libraries such as Marston, Library West, and Norman. Unfortunately, many students have the leave the library and pause their studies because their computer battery has died. As a result, they have to waste their limited study time to go back to their residence to retrieve their computer chargers before they can continue their studies.
Solution
A company can be created that has vending machines placed at all major UF libraries. The vending machine will allow you to rent an array of computer chargers from the most popular computers. These will be available for Apple products, as well as, PC products. For a fee of $2 per hour, a student can rent the computer charger of their need. They can use an app created specifically for this vending machine to pay for their rental, put in the time they will have the charger for, and enter when they returned it to the vending machine. This will provide students an easy, price friendly way to solve their problem when they forget their computer charger at home and do not want to leave the library to retrieve it.
Hi Jamie!
ReplyDeleteYour solution for the laptop charger problem should work perfectly as students are more than likely to choose paying two dollars over the trek back to their apartment or dorm. I have been in the library on many occasions and have had to ask strangers to borrow their charger which is kind of embarrassing so with your solution that would no longer happen.
Great Post!
This seems like a feasible solution to the problem of students forgetting their computer chargers when they go to study at the library. For only $2 per hour, students will be very relieved to be able to continue their studying without having to waste any time by going home. If the system is easy to use, convenient, and fairly priced, people will use it.
