Operating Systems

Entrepreneurial Idea: The Elite Shopper

• While shopping online, a purchaser places his or her favorite items onto a wish list. The purchaser takes the items that were chosen and while on line makes an appointment time with the store's stylist. The stylist will hold the items and when you arrive for your appointment, places the items into a dressing room for you to try on. When showing up for the appointment, facial recognition of the purchaser is performed by a store computer and he or she is escorted into a dressing room to try on the items. After shopping, the purchaser's finger is scanned by another computer and the selected items are automatically charged to the purchaser's credit card.

Operating systems : The Elite Shopper

• Working in an industry where time is money means that one requires a fast, up-to-date, top of the line operating system for their company. Whether in the store or at headquarters, functioning with older operating systems slows down the ability to do business well. Operating systems are required for the understanding of a computer for those not in the information technology field; they convert computer language to a language that the majority of the population can understand. Without the operating system, there is no function of a computer and instead there is a black screen when booted on.

• My idea benefits from the use of operating systems because we use facial recognition software which is a computer application. Without software, my store couldn't recognize customers and therefore the experience would be less personalized. The main part of my idea that I want to stress is how personalization leads to happier, more frequent customers and without facial recognition on my computer, I would lose a vital part to the experience.

• The operating system I would want to use would be able to work with a program for my shoppers. It would manage the information entered into files and organize it accordingly. My operating system would also help me to perform specific tasks catered to my customers' needs and desires. The Elite Shopper Experience would be useless without operating systems as it requires a connection with the facial recognition software being used.
