www.bestong.com

FASHION



Fashion is a statement, not a style. Fashion does not have to be worn casually, nor outside the runway. Fashion is fit for all sizes fir all people of all ages. Fashion is an art of personal self-expression, not an excuse to be pretty, popular and charismatic.

Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves , and of course each other. If girls dressed for boys, they'd just walk around naked at all times.

I believe that fashion is not about what you ware, but how you ware it. It's more than putting together outfits and creating different looks, but a form of expression of one's identity, creating a new outer layer of skin. I believe it. I breathe it. I express it.

assignment 5

1. In your own words describe how the workplace culture at Google encourages innovation and unique creations for the company? How does working at Google and the environment there affect its workers?

The workers in there work even better because they can feel free to express themselves, they can do what they want, things that you would never imagine, such as gym, free food, massages, laundry, cars, all of that for free for the employees to feel more comfortable and for them to like their jobs, if they like their job they would eventually work better and the results of that better working would make Google improve even more than usual.



2. How does employee freedom, like the 20% of free time Google encourages its employees to spend on any project they want, deliver better business?


  Because the employees can just do something wild, out of the usual, something that they think that would make google better, it improves a lot the way google is friendly with the users and it also makes the people feel more relative to the program. The employees have that 20% of their time to do anything they want, any wild idea, modification project they have on mind that I they think is a good idea google would automatically modify google to that idea, that also makes the people that work there to feel like their ideas do matter in a huge way and that what they do if is creative would be taken into consideration.


3. What are the requirements to work for Google? And what is different about the way they hire employees at Google?


You need to be really creative, creative enough to come up with designs, to think out o the box and think different than others because they would obviously wont need a normal person but someone that has potential an that's worth the try, you need to be able to work with a team, have leadership because most of the time you would be working with a new project in the one you have to be the leader and come up with great ideas

Every day Google answers more than one billion questions from people around the globe in 181 countries in 146 different languages

5. In your own words discuss how Google's constantly refined search algorithm changed the way we all access and even think about information.


Having algorithms does really helps people specially when you're not really sure about what you're going to search so you jut type in a few words, and it also makes the search easier because it immediately searches for information that they consider accurate, which most of the time is right.

6. Take a look at the following story about Google's top secret data center. Now why would Google want to keep its server room as a secret?


Because if everybody could access to the data center the way that Google works could be copied from other search engines, and then Google would no longer be unique or special and yet not the best searching web page world-wide.



7. What are the benefits of working as a Google employee?


There are many services and is a friendly environment. Its all amazing, from getting free food, to free doctors visit and much more. You have free time that you could spend it in the library or in other places and the offices are different making working for Google a joyful experience.
you can clean your clothes in their installations, there are different restaurants and you can eat in them by free, also there is a room for the employees that has fish tanks so they can relax and after it work better, also they have sleep balls.

Google Glass is a wearable computer that lets you read your tweets, check calendar appointments, the weather, and a ton of other things without pulling your smartphone out. The screen rests right above your field of vision making it easy to glance up to get info.


  • The Driverless Car Program will one day allow us to drive safer.

Is for us to be mote safe and less accidents.


  • An elevator to space, while unlikely, would change space travel.

We don't expect to see this one anytime soon but its still very interesting that Google has this project on its wish-list.

10. Look at the following story about why recent college graduates should not work for Google. Why does the writer argue recent graduates should not work at Google?

because they don't hace that much of experience they are barely starting and they are some peolple that later they want to make there own companey.
