Products development: The different types

Image
When talking about the different types of product development projects. There are four different types. There are new product platforms, derivatives of existing product platforms, incremental improvements to existing products, and fundamentally new products. All these projects are different stages but all work together in a sense of building a products reputation.    The new product platforms are a project of making several new products that could work together. It is not just one product being created but a family of different products. An example of these projects would be the electric cars. This new platform has several different accessories that work together. There is the car itself, and the other thing like the charger, the charger cord, and the station. Professions working in this type of product development would be auto mechanics who have to make the car itself. It is a different job due to there being no gas powered engine. The car must be powered by electric...

Day 56

 Luther and the reformation The Church is weakened and vulnerable SOCIALLY: the Renaissance emphasis on the secular (worldly) and the individual challenged Church authority The printing press helped spread these ideas POLITICALLY: Some rulers (especially the Germans) began to challenge the Church’s political power ECONOMICALLY: northern merchants resented paying church taxes to Rome “...religious reform, please...” What’s so wrong with the Church? Corrupt leadership Renaissance-era popes spent extravagantly on personal pleasure Pope Alexander VI admitted that he fathered several children Many priests and monks were poorly educated How can you teach if you can barely read? Some priests got married and had children Some priests drank to excess, many gambled But mostly, indulgences The selling of indulgences (pardons) “releases a sinner from performing the penalty a priest imposed for sins” Johann Tetzel was a monk who sold ind...

day 55

today in class we talked about the renaissance which was I big time period. It was  a  period  in  European history , covering the span between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is an extension of the  Middle Ages , [2]  and is bridged by the  Age of Enlightenment  to  modern history . It grew in fragments, with the very first traces found seemingly in  Italy , coming to cover much of Europe, for some scholars marking the beginning of the  modern age . Today was a good class and I feel that this coming up test will be easy

day 54

today we took a tests and it was really hard. I personally think its not even fair because half the stuff we talked about in class wasn't even on the test and there was a lot of things that were never even mentioned on it. Its so dumb because I have never got a C or lower in my life and now I probably will because of this test. I almost feel like our teacher wants us to fail his class. after the test we just sat around and did our blogs which im doing now. so many people are complaining about the test its crazy.

Study Notes

Main Idea Many Germanic kingdoms  that succeeded the Roman Empire  were reunited under Charlemagne’s empire. Why it matters now Charlemagne spread Christian civilization throughout northern Europe, which is where some of (but not all of)  us came from. Setting the Stage Middle Ages = medieval period.  AD 476 – AD 1453 (from the end of the Roman Empire to the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks) medieval Europe is fragmented. This is a new society This new society has roots in:  classical heritage of Rome beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church customs of various Germanic tribes.  5th century Germanic invaders overrun the western half of the Roman Empire causing: disruption of trade, downfall of cities, population shifts to rural areas.  Effects of invasion Decline of learning, tribes had oral tradition, songs, but couldn't read Greek or Latin, Romance languages evolve (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian), few (b...
