Spreadsheet Critical Thinking

Using Excel is helpful in running a business because it helps you keep track of things and using it for finding your expenses and stuff like that. Changing the values affects the business because by changing one value it changes the other things.
The advantages of creating an automated spreadsheets rather than a hand written one is that when your finding the sum of your numbers easier. The capability to recalculate automatically make an electronic spreadsheet valuable because when you create one by hand, you'll probably have to add everything up yourself, and with the spreadsheet, you can just press the sum button on the home tab and you do less work. And when you change one number by hand, you have to go back and calculate everything again. But with an electronic spreadsheet, you can change the number and it'll fix everything to where you don't have to figure it out yourself.

if we make more commission happen the margin would be smaller cause we'd be paying people more. If we spend less on research and development we would gain more margin If we spend more on marketing, our margin would go down.
If we spend less on bonuses, we would increase on margin. If we increase our cost of goods, our margin would go up. if we decrease our Support, General, and Administrative, we would gain more margin.

Apple Ipad

The newest piece of technology for the Apple company would be the Ipad. The Ipad is very thin. What it does is you can search the web with it. (its Way better than a laptop or a smart phone.) You can turn it however you want. Sideways, upside down your right side up. it automatically adjust to your best use. See message. Turn it sideways, push the compose button and on this screen pops out a keyboard that is phenomenal to type on. Photos, your photos are placed by stacks, slide shows and more. Calendars, address book, map application, satellite view. Ipad has itunes store built into it. High Definition. Awesome to watch TV shows and movies on.
With the Ipad being like a computer but touch screen, i think this may encourage others to change the way they use technology now a days. On education i don't know how it would effect students.But I'm pretty sure it'll educate the students on how far the technology has gone. As for me I think that its cool the way that Apple created something that's smaller than a laptop but not as small as a smart phone. It looks lighter to carry around and it has a lot of the things us students use today. So i think that the Ipad will be a big hit!!
