#8 The Finale

The idea of cell-jack stimulated from many stressful nights of looking for my phone, which I hope I’m not the only one who is experiencing this odd pheonoem of never remembering where my phone is. I felt the idea was too simple and too convent for it not to be made already, and when I found out my idea had not yet been taken yet I decided to jump on it. The idea was in my head well before I had any idea of this blog, let alone the school.


The IST195 blog project was actually my first taste of a legit college product, and I can only hope the rest is like this. I love the idea of using what I learned in the classroom and applying it in the real world in a plausible way. It’s one thing to learn about computers and technology, but it gets a whole lot better once we start to figure out how we can actually USE this knowledge in the real world to give us an advantage.

The idea of making this product a reality is not even that far-fetched of an idea. First and foremost I would need capital for my business, talking strictly about start-up money. At the very first-stage of this product I could imagine a small crew of 4-5 fellow students who are knowledgeable in their respectful fields, such as coding, programming, etc etc. The software would probably need to be purchased online, but at this stage in the game I feel the hardware we have will be ample.

Once we have a product worth showing off, that’s when I expect the company and idea to take flight. Hopefully the idea impresses and wows a few investors and we are finally able to get some more capital. Using this newfound capital I would acquire the office-space and hardware needed to lift the company into the atmosphere of successful businesses.

Being a successful entreueprenuer requires a lot of qualities, you need more then just a good idea. Being a successful one means you have some ability of foresight, to predict where the market is going and where you need to be to meet it head on. You also need character and a passion for your idea, if you can’t convince yourself it’s a good idea, good luck convincing others. The idea itself is good on paper, but the real-world change may make run into some issues.

I can’t imagine anyone and everyone can publish an application if the official stores of Apple, Verizon, etc. I can only hope I’d be able to find a way in, or my product would very likely be left to die. I would also have the issue of advertising it, since the application market is literally flooded with other applications, the idea of getting mine to stand out would be much harder in the real world. The idea of celljack is there, and with the capital and a proper team, I feel I could properly execute their plan.
