Week 3- System Unit and Computer Forensics


The topic of the week was hardware. As a technology based entrepreneurial idea, it is necessary that my product have all the necessary hardware to keep the system running fast and efficiently. Let’s face it, no one will use the product if it takes to long to use and that is a terrible marketing idea. With that in mind, it would be absolutely vital for proper configuration of my computer based technology.

The mirror would have to coordinate several processes such as scanning the items brought into the room, taking a picture of the customer, portraying the simulation of the customer with the clothes on, and then allowing the customer to share that image on social media websites. With so many advanced processes being used it would be important to have a high quality processor that could work quickly to execute the demands of the customer.

Yet again we talked about cyber security in class, however, this time we focused on the fact that data exists on a hard disk until that disk is physically destroyed. In addition to the need for the Smart Mirror to function efficiently, the mirror would also need to take into account the customers need to protect their identity. There would need to be security measures taken to ensure that no one could access the pictures taken by the mirror after that customer has left. It would also be important that malicious users who could potentially recover the personal data using computer forensics programs widely available on the market do not exploit data that was deleted by the customer but still remains on the hard disk.
