Let's call the whole thing off.

This morning while frantically writing this assignment that was due an hour and a half later, I realized that hey, this might make a lame blog post... so here is my assignment for my business 101 class that I am required to take because of my minor in Management in Business Information Systems which is a part of the business school at UNLV.

Oh how i can't wait until i can be done with school so i can concentrate on actual business and not just talk about future business in theory. Enjoy my ramblings below.

Article 1: New Data Privacy Laws Set For Firms by Ben Worthen

This article is from the Wall Street Journal and was published on October 16, 2008. Worthen discusses a new “Nevada law that took effect this month that requires all businesses [in Nevada] to encrypt personally-identifiable customer data, including names and credit-card numbers, that are transmitted electronically.” Worthen further describes that Nevada is on of the first few states that are adopting this policy. Estimates show that this will cost average small businesses up to $3,000 of up front cost and around $500 extra operating cost to comply with this new security requirement.
