However, tech-oriented industries still need people with liberal arts experience to create, develop, and sell their products. With new advances in computer technology, tech companies don’t need as many programmers. What they are focusing on now is making the product more visually appealing and user-friendly, both of which are tasks commonly allotted to people with a liberal arts background. Improving the communication capabilities and visual features of widely-used apps is more practical in today’s society than calculating the new highest prime number, though there is beauty in that as well. According to Forbes Magazine, only approximately thirty percent of Silicon Valley hirees actually get jobs in software engineering. The other seventy percent are involved in a myriad of roles ranging from sales to administration to software interface. Silicon Valley is not an exclusively tech industry; today, liberal arts are just as important a part of this innovative

What he answered was that a lot of people don't think about the same way as he does, but that what people don't realize is that there is many mathematics in the computer side, it foundation is mathematics.

Finally I asked him who does he admire, he said that he can be an IT professional another place but in Trevecca he is a teacher. So what he admires the most is teachers who make their students learn and become interested on their class. Make students feel that they learn something when they come to their class, he wants his students to walkout form his class and think what they learned that day and think like “ wow I have never thought that before” At last, what we were able to know from his was his spirit for the IT department since college. He told me a little more personal things about this life, his ups and downs. I was able to know a little bit more about his

If there is ever a hall of fame for customer service, David Allan would be among the first inductees. He bases so much of his time and energy on doing things for our customers that most others will not. Nothing disappoints me more in my opinion to talk about tales of great service and not having a picture to share with you. For myself, it is crucial to have David on my team that does more than represent our company culture. He is the partner that pushes our company’s culture forward. Mr. W. T. Brookshire and family would be proud to know David Allen represent and treasures our brand of over the counter customer service. David’s key to customer service is building good relationships with your customers. He promotes a helpful and friendly environment

The deep-rooted source of Kodak’s problem was a “culture of self-satisfaction”. Kodak was critically destroyed by its culture, although it was the quick progress of digital photo technology that is commonly blamed for Kodak’s demise (Riley, 2015). On the other hand, Kodak’s new leadership has not clearly addressed what are Kodak’s essential features and neglected the need to transform the Kodak’s culture destinies, which may be any possibility of Kodak future succeed.
