Dialing Up the Global Village
2007-04-08 18:36:00 Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) has hastened the globalization, or “global village” phenomenon that advancing technology increasingly allows. By telephone, the closest you could get to your customer or your customer could get to you, was up until recently, a 1-800 number. VOIP has opened the doors to a seemingly local presence for companies with DID’s – Direct Inbound Dial. Voice Over Internet Protocol allows for a voice call, which traditionally would travel over the phone line, to now travel over the Internet protocol. Benefits of VOIP are many, such as lessening long distance costs, and increased bandwidth for providers. But the benefit of DID’s now brings international business to a whole new level. Companies are now able to open new Markets by using local phone numbers on websites and advertising to gain the local competitive edge. Your Sales and Customer Service are a local phone call to Customers. Customers are m...

Global Village field trip
2007-04-07 16:27:00 I am now back in the dorms after a Friday & Saturday G.V. field trip. There were around 150 people that consisted of English, Chinese and Korean students. It started off with us leaving campus at around 10:30 and then arriving at the ferry site at around 11:45ish.We took a 10 minute ferry ride to the island were the trip was it. I forgot the name, but when I ask someone I will edit this. We ate lunch and then headed off to the beach to play some games. The sand was nice but the water was very dirty. Some of the games included the foot race were we tie our feet together (I think its a popular activity in Korea since we always play that) and piggy-back rides to get water to fill a bucket. There were no prizes, only for fun. Cafteria:My awesome hoolahoop skills!We decided to make a volleyball net and play:This was the view from outside the stairway window:It is really cool to watch the sun set in Korea. It is always so red and full:After we went to eat a light dinner and prepare for fi...
