During a football game when there is a call that can go either way, every fan in the stadium starts to franticly yell for a replay and proof. This last resort effort to reverse the on the field judges' call gives us, the fan, a slight chance of hope that can turn the now ill-favored call to our teams favor. The implementation of instant replay in football is one of the many technological advances in sports today. IT is now being integrated into the sports world in many different ways. Most of the technology used in todays sport venues are based on a judgment call that the human judge could not see or was simply wrong. Many complain that the technology slows down the game and loses the interest of fans from every age. I am completely against the idea of this new innovation putting a damper on the sports world. I believe that if we have the ability to look back on our mistakes why wouldn't we?
1. Does the technology really slow down the game?
2. Is it really fair to go back on a call that has already been deciphered?
3. Which type of in-game sports technology do you agree/disagree with the most?

Is Outsourcing the answer?
Outsourcing is absolutely the way to save money and theoretically become a more productive institution, but just like everything in life personal assurance is much more appealing. Outsourcing in my opinion can create negativity that can sometimes ruin a company's core competence. Mrs. Fields Cookies is a prime example of this because Mrs. Fields knew that she was the "main ingredient" that made her product successful. She not only was the name and face for the product, but also had the personal connection and self accomplishment behind her true love of making cookies. In our changing world that we live in I feel like the world has stopped caring about the journey and started to focus on the final product.
My entire life has been filled with production, and I believe that is what changes our perception of personal satisfaction. I personally have pride in the my own accomplishments in not only the completed version, but also the road that was taken to get there. How do you feel about outsourcing, and would you connect outsourcing with the current "final product" mindset of todays world intertwined?
