Try to walk around somewhere and discover technopreneur idea

To travel around or through something on foot, that’s what we call walk. First impression when I got to read and interpret the second exercise given to us by Mr. Randy Gamboa prior into Technopreneurship 2 , I was amazed, surprise or even astound to the particular directive on how we are going to do our assignment. Surprise because in the first place, it’s weary to us making to the point of another assignment to encounter and to resolve this thing. But I was amazed where the task doesn’t need further research and look deep into the answer without the help of our best friends Google and Yahoo! Walk doesn’t matter most in this task. But for me, being observant and imaginative has been test on how you ponder and dwell upon your observation. No right or wrong answer in this exercise I suppose. When we say walking, it’s a nature thing to people. But to observe is different while you are doing something. Serendipity walk is the term for that. Where you have been accidentally discover of something pleasant, valuable and useful. Connected to technoprneurship, there are lots and numerous ideas on how you as a technopreneur should be aware and be knowledgeable on the things around you. A good technopreneur must have to consider the benefits and the advantages of his innovation towards other people. Before I consider myself as a competent technopreneur I must discover and measure it first on myself.

The first thing I did was not to walk around but in fact I am sitting in our dining area. Then I let my two twinkling eyes to see and perceive around the corner of our dining section. Few seconds passed, the refrigerator grasp and hold my attention, what I did is to open it and spot what’s inside of it. Then I noticed, the refrigerator is full of food and drinks. However, uncooked food was been decayed and has fungus. In that act I came to an idea on having an advance refrigerator with the modern technology of detecting decomposed food. The refrigerator will automatically can make sound when it has been detected. And the refrigerators will automatic turn on and off. Turn on when there is no problems identify. Of course it still needs the power of electricity in order to function it. But when times it can detect rooted food and another think is when the freezer has been loaded with high percentage of ice, and then it will be off. I think that’s one way on how my imaginative idea works. When I got to Tagum (my home), I have my usual task to do in our house. My usual work and responsibilities is to be a salesperson where I am the one who sells food in our sari-sari store. As my usual personal problem to encounter is when I am no longer interested to sell due to weakened and made less active exertion. In other word, I already tired! Then my second idea goes like this. To invent a modern sari-sari store without the service of any personnel. A buyer will be the one who will select and choose his goods and a part of it is the paying area where consumers drop his payment and get his changes when needed. That’s one of the big help in the fields of trade and industry.
Having these ideas are not easy just like a blink of an eye when it comes to comprehend something. What I did is to determine first the difficulties in the surroundings, from that way I can formulate your technopreneurial solution to patch things up. From the above solutions on some problems in our society I can now recommend my thoughts and plan. At this time, I wanna share the scenario when I walk along the street some part in Obrero. My technopreneur idea was to propose a solution in solving garbage problem. I just wonder why does people couldn’t throw and segregate their waste in the right place. They just leave it anywhere and anytime they like. So I come up with this garbage what I called “high tech rubbish bin”. This is a big container where you can throw any kind of garbage and waste you have. Then you put it inside the bin, this bin will automatically segregate the waste and determine whether it is biodegradable or non-biodegradable. Without much trash needed across the several street and much effort to throw different kind of waste the high tech rubbish bin was been proposed. Not just that! If the rubbish bin verify that it is almost full, the bin will automatically turn closed and locked to prevent over loading and overflow of garbage. In fact people don’t care and just be senseless with this environmental difficulty. That’s why stuck waste is the preeminent reason why do floods exist. Aside from the garbage issue we have currently, smoke belching cars is one of complains of most Filipinos living indoors in the city. Hundreds of car travel across big streets especially in the city of Davao. That’s why people have been possessed to some respiratory ailments due to the smoke and dust they exhale from cars, vehicles and tracks. I discover that why not to invent a gasoline for the cars engine but without danger it bring to people when belching. We have to invent the advance gasoline that will maintain the good health of the people and to be sure it is harmless to them. Gasolines which not damage our Mother Earth in spite with the huge buildings constructed. The other technopreneur idea I got is when I visited once the Agdao Public Market. As usual, wet market really looks crowded and congested especially inside. Waste from peels of fruits and vegetables and even rooted meats are found. Several problems also are from dishonest seller or vendor who lies to sell old kinds of products. To help the consumer, I got the answer to their common problems, they should have this hand held device which can detect and identify fresh or rooted meats and fish. This advance technology will just place behind the product then it will show on what percentage a meat is fresh or not. This will alleviate the consumer to avoid buying unwanted ones, without regret in paying right amount but gaining diseases from what they bought. After strolling around the Agdao Market, we have to leave and ride “multicab” back to the boarding house. Another thing I noticed is when we are riding in the multicab numerous passengers trying to insert their selves even the availability is already small. Unfortunately, two old people have their short argue because of the space. In that time, I came to idea of having a built in small drawer where passengers will just simply drop his/her bills. The drawer will establish how far a passenger is from. When the commuter pays and needed a change, the drawer will automatically will display the changes when needed. In this case, commuter who plans not to pay will be detected. Crimes will be avoided; in fact wanted people can be distinguishing when passengers got inside the car. In addition to preventing crimes, a simply coat is my new technopreneurial idea. This is not simply a coat to wear. People with the high ranks and position just like a lawyer and judge can secure their life with the help of wearing this soft black coat. This black coat is a bullet proof. Yes! It is. No one can think that this can block any kind of gunshots. In this matter, preeminent person with the death treats in their life can avoid deathtraps. I have this idea also of gel. What is gel about? A usual looked like a gel. Ops. It’s not what you think of gel having in your hair but a gel with the chemicals it have. So where should we put his gel? It is put into things maid of metal. Once you will apply this gel in a material thing maid in metal, few seconds later the metal can breakdown and split into pieces. So where did this gel help for? In many things like cutting a metal, you will not anymore visit some blacksmith to cut the unwanted metal things you have. But this will not harm to people. Anything that this gel can accidentally apply are secure, but except for the things which are made of metal. Why did I came to these several idea? To recap what is technopreneur, it is the use of technology as an integral and key element in the transformation of goods or services. In short technopreneurship is the combination of business with the help of technology. We also have the learned importance of Technopreneurship, these are employment creation, local resources, decentralization and diversification of business, promotion technology, capital formation and lastly promotion of an entrepeneurial culture. In other words, the Technopreneurship lend a great advantage in our economic status if are able enough and the right capabilities handling a business but considering the fact that we are one of the least and lower country. So how should we implement with these things? Even foods and personal needs of people are harder to attain and not enough in supporting by the government.

A technopreneur is an entrepreneur who is technology savvy, creative, innovative, dynamic, dares to be different and take to the unexplored path. That’s according to an article. They take challenges and strive to lead their life with greater success. They don't fear to fail. Being one of that is a pleasure to me. A good technopreneur must have to take failure as a learning experience. Of course failures are just an element and stimulator on to the technopreneur person to look things differently and strive for the next challenge. Technoprenuers continuously go through an organic process of continual improvement and always try to redefine the dynamic digital economy. Technology and entrepreneurial skills are driving many economies to prosperity. In other words it will help the economic status of a country. Especially these times that we have job inflation rate and based on statistics, here in Philippines, we have 13,000,000 people jobless. Yes, but sad to say, it is the reality. Most of the fresh graduates we have is unemployed. In that case their learning’s are not applied and most of that is there is possibilities that jobless person is close to some bad inducement like drugs and smoking. In this way when you have to start up business, you could hire your fellowmen as your employees and you can give job to them. So you help yourself to have a financial freedom and at the same time, you help other people. The most famous of them all is, Bill Gates, who makes Microsoft a household name all over the world. Steve Jobs - well known for his innovations. iPod - most carried gadget by young population. Look at the success of Google - brain child of Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Imagine billions of internet users used and take advantage of the Technology and entrepreneurial skills are driving many economies to prosperity. The most famous of them all is, Bill Gates, who makes Microsoft a household name all over the world. Steve Jobs - well known for his innovations. iPod - most carried gadget by young population. Look at the success of Google - brain child of Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Imagine indefinite numbers of internet users used and take advantage of the product made and innovate by those deemed industrial stars. I think most of the above mentioned ideas of mine are futuristic and unbelievable to think if it possible. But being a technopreneur should advance in thinking or should I say imaginative in his own way. He/she is capable of innovating new things. Just like big names in industry. Bill Gates! Steve Jobs! Count the names of entrepreneurs who started Oracle! Youtube! Facebook! As I’ve read a site that persons behind this famous social sites are not ready to technopreneur. And if I am going to add my names in line with them, I also have what it takes to be a technopreneur.
