In order for this idea to work, I must work with a team to create a simple software that will enable anyone to order food. The software will consist of tools and "instructions" so a list of options will be available for all students. Whether you are ordering from an Iphone APP or a blackberry APP, students will be able to have the same sandwich options including bread, topping, meat and side.
Not only will this software be useful to offer students the same options, it will enable communication between students' phones and the dining hall's computer monitors. It will keep the orders and information organized so people receiving them will not be confused and there will be few errors in preparation. This will be freeware software, there will be no charge to download the APP for students or to download the software for the dining halls.
There must be a kernel and operating system included in this APP so students are able to use other APPs or parts of their phone at the same time. It is important that you can "multitask" while deciding what to eat for lunch, this way all other programs on your phone do not shut down and will continue to work. This must be an open source software so people cannot modify it, they can only use it freely.

Week 2- internet/WWW
Hey! So after learning about how the internet came about and the communication abilities computers and other technology have, I have created a new APP to be used by students all around the world. Even though computers may differ from one another, they are all able to communicate wih eachother by use of IP addresses. Through tags and programming, computers can store and transfer text as well as create a browsing history.
After learning about how computers can communicate with other computers, I have thought of an idea that will allow students to pre-order lunch from dining halls on campus. This will be available as an APP for an iphone or a text messaging service for other phones. Students who do not have enough time to sit down and eat will be able to text message a simple order, like a sandwich, to a designated dining hall on campus and the time they will be picking their order up. This will enable students to save time and money by letting them use a meal swipe instead of stopping at a cafe and using cash.
Since this is a new idea and many students will not be aware of it, social media will have to be used to promote it. For example, twitter can be used to notify students of the new idea. To start, the official SU twitter account can tweet about the idea and then hopefully, people will retweed to spread the word.
I'm sure theres much more to it than this simple idea.
Just a start!
