Breaking Bad vs. Lost

Breaking Bad is one of the best characters development series seen in television in a very long time, it was relatable and had many plot twist. The main character Walter white is a struggling high school teacher diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Together with his former student, Walter White turns to a life of crime, producing and selling crystal meth to secure his family's financial future before he dies, while navigating the dangers of the criminal world. Walter White started as a good guy by the end of the series he was a full-blown bad guy still trying to justify his actions by saying it was all for the good of his family and friends.

Lost had many characters that the show focused on. Lost is a drama containing elements of science fiction and the supernatural. It follows the survivors of the crash of a commercial passenger jet, flying between Sydney and Los Angeles, on a mysterious tropical island somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean. One specific character that tries to help all the other characters survive in the island becoming their hero.

I was looking into applications that will benefit students during their college career, I came up with a few good ideas. The one idea that stands out for me is a “TRIVAGO” style application for buying books. Let’s say you are indeed for a specific book for a class. You would write the name of the book and the application will present a list of who is selling that book personal or business, how much, if it’s for rent or sell, and how long will it take to be deliver or if a nearby store has it in stock. With this application you would have the option to price check other websites and people who are selling the book online.

So I'm creating improvements to an app that already exists which is called MakeupAlley. This phone app is an app that is beauty advice on the go (that's how it's described on their web). MakeupAlley has access to more than 2 million reviews on beauty products of all kinds and all brands from the high end makeup to the low end makeup. This app is a connection to over 1.8 million beauty lovers around the world whom you are able to connect and share not only on beauty but also lifestyle boards. This app is completely easy to navigate through and as a woman who loves and has a passion for makeup this is the perfect app to use and, isn't too far from reach since all you have to do is pop out your cellphone and you have access to it that easy. You know when you walk into a makeup store and you come across a product that you are completely new to and then you become a little indecisive about purchasing because you're afraid to purchase it and then finding out the unfortunate way that your skin doesn't react to it in a good way or it just wasn't worth your money. The MakeupAlley app is your go to and find reviews on that for instance all you have to do is search up the name or brand of the product you're interested in or to make it even easier all you have to do is scan the barcode on the product and just like that you are able to read the reviews on any beauty related product. My idea for improvement would be to create an alternative to a beauty product that had bad reviews to a one who has good reviews and not only that but it will give you the option to purchase it then and there as it links you to the web page that sells these products. If they are not available to purchase online then it'll give you the option of finding a store near you that carries this product and have it mailed to you instead of going from store to store to look for a beauty product you are really in need of, this will make your search a lot more convenient and easier for you.

Diet and exercise

Diet is a good way to lose weight. So many people eat big portions based on the tastes. I used to eat really big portions like fast food because I was so addicted to grease and sugar that adds flavor. Most people just love those products do to the taste. However, it is not the best for our bodies. Obesity is rising rapidly and is associated with many serious and even life threatening diseases. Because it makes us over weight that makes us sick. It also shortens up our lives. But as we make our eating habits better by eating more healthy choices, It will help us be more fit and helps us become more energized. I will also notice a boost in self esteem and confidence while feeling more fulfilled in a daily basis. I used to eat out almost everyday. That made me overweight and I would get sick a lot. I have a friend who influenced me to go on a diet with him. Cause I saw how in shape he was I wanted to get tips from him. Now that I am eating healthier, it made me drop weight fast and I feel more happy than I ever had. I came to realize that eating delicious and fattening food is only temporal happiness while eating healthy is eternal happiness. Another part that is good for our health is exercising. The physical benefits of exercise improves physical conditions and fighting diseases. It also makes us feel good and reduces stress. Cause Stress is not good for us. It increases our blood pressure which shortens up our lives. When stress affects the brain, it impacts the body as well. As we develop a workout routine, It helps us feel accomplished and make us want to do it more. I now workout everyday and I have never felt better. I have more energy than ever before and I can run faster.

I would create an app that gives fast and direct answers to any question you have using reliable sources. It would provide quick and direct answers to anything from a question you dont understand on your homework, to the name of the song thats been stuck in your head all day. You just ask or type in the question and it automatically tells you the answer. Sure any search engine is capable of doing this, but this app would give direct answers and do all the research for you. It wont mistake opinion over knowledge so its a lot more reliable than just asking any person a question. This app would obviously be convenient and useful for anyone that doesnt know all the answers in life (aka everyone)

Fitting Room App

similar apps:

I would create an app that basically tries clothes on for you to let you see if they would fit your body well or not so you can skip the entire trying on clothes. The app would scan you to get all of your body's measurements. Then when online shopping, it would show how the clothes would fit on you if they even fit well on you our not. It would take away the downside of shopping for clothes online; not knowing whether or not the clothes you just ordered will look good or even fit you at all, in case that stores sizes run small. This app is basically a hassle free online/digital fitting room

I want to add a new feature to the Uber application. Uber is an app where the user can request a black car service to a location for transportation. Some rides are better than the other and in that case it would be nice to keep our favorite drivers in a folder for future use. Currently Uber only allows you to rate your driver 1-5 stars with 5 being extremely satisfied. After the drop off occurs that's where all communication with your driver ends. For example, I get dropped off at LAX on a Monday morning and my driver was amazing beginning to end. He was quick and professional. I begin to think how pleasant it would be if he could pick me up when I returned. The problem now is that I have no way of retaining any information about my driver. With my improvement I would create a Favorites folder that organizes them chronologically according to drop off day and time. Come a few days later when I've arrived back into town I open my Uber app, click the Favorites tab and scroll to find my last driver. I request his services to my location and wait on a response from Uber letting me know if he is available at the moment. If he is available the app would proceed as usual, informing me of my wait time and who my driver is, except this time I already know who is coming. If my preferred driver is on another ride the app will inform me of this and allow me to request another driver or have Uber select one for me.
