Tech Know

     Tech-Know is a very ambitious and creative idea. They plan to have a massive collection of all sorts of technological advancements. They also plan to keep everything impartial so that the readers can form their own ideas on how technology is advancing. While I think it is a great idea to have all this information in one place, I think that Tech-Know is a little too ambitious. The fact that there is just so much going on in tech development means that the people working on the website would have to constantly looking up new information. This would be fine if they were focusing on a single type of technology. However, they clearly state in their website that they are trying to provide resources for all current technologies. This would require a large number of people to be constantly looking around at different sources and fact checking them so that their readers have a steady flow of information. It would be very difficult to build up this workforce and even more difficult to find a way to pay them.

     Another issue with Tech-Know is on their focus on being impartial. While this sounds like a great idea, it would be very difficult to actually go out and do it. They would have to go out of their way to make sure that there is not more positive or more negative information on each topic. Another major issue with being impartial is that it would be very difficult to find people who would support the website. It would be hard to get tech companies and the government to back the website because they do not really get anything out of it. Sure, they get the information on what they are doing out to people. But since Tech-Know wants to tell both sides of the story, they cannot be sure that Tech-Know will not hurt business more than help it.

     It has its flaws, but Tech-Know is certainly a good idea. While it may be very difficult to start up, it could easily become a valuable resource for people who just want to keep up with how tech is changing the world.
