Conference Week 14

Reflections of Week 14

Each week gets harder and harder. We are almost down to the last week. All conferences have been posted for our responses. The group project is due and the research is soon approaching.

I was not totally satisfied with our presentation because I thought that it could be better. But, I changed as much as I felt I legally could and decided to let go to submit.

Since I am allowed to telecommute, I know some of the challenges management and IT people have to deal with. I remember one of my coworkers was working from home. Their computer was not working properly and I had to go to their house to fix it because the user did not feel comfortable fixing the problem. After that incident, my supervisor requires the telecommuter to bring the equipment back to the office for servicing.

I learned a few things reading about HIPAA. As I was learning about it, I remembered that when I go to the doctors that I have to sign this release form for the insurance company to get information for billing purposes.

As far as the Intellectual Property Rights is concerned, I believe that my classmates provided some very informative information on the subject. I also reviewed some information about TRIPS, WIPO, and WTO. It looks like they are really trying to get some uptodate global regulations on IT copywrite infringement that is appropriate for today's information technology.

My challenge now is to get that research paper done.
