45th U.S President: Donald Trump

What an Election for 2016. We had one candidate who was born with silver spoon and been a business man and celebrity who was going through 75 lawsuits and scandals of sexual harassment charges and we has another who was on trial for conspiracy. They have bad mouth each other for many months and with enough bad things to talk about each other due to media exposing lot of things. But, it all came down to 11/8/2016 election night. Many thought that Hilary Clinton would have been the first woman president in U. S History with polls showing her with great numbers and I even think the Trump camp thought the same, but what a surprise. With many Republicans stopping supporting Trump, we thought the vote would have been unanimous for Clinton. But the people have spoken. People's initial idea became  "We rather have ass that we know than ass that we do not understand" which is understandable as, even though he may have came off as racist, sexist, big mouthed, bigot, he was someth

Digital Economy

Welcome to 21st Century; we may not have hover cars and robots that are going to be our maids like from The Jetsons, but we are indeed living in future. And, biggest example is not with gadgets but with our currency and payment options. In my blog "Samsung Pay" ( http://pjpark10.blogspot.com/2016/03/samsung-pay-new-mile-stone-of-mobile-pay.html ) I explained how far we have came in our payment method and where we are no longer needed of physical card or cash to make payments now because most of our shopping are done digitally either thru online or payment method where it is simply transactions of codes one one machine to another. Let's take a look at our current situation. A normal how hold would work and receive payment thru direct deposit which means, it's not your work physically putting  money in your bank account but transferring fictional money to your profile at local bank. And you would pay bill from not existing profile to spread it through other business

Cycle of Anger

Imagine if you will....... A man owns a restaurant. Restaurant always been his passion and he worked hard to open it. It started out as just another day at his restaurant. He prepped and served people. Then, a customer came in. As of the start, you could see he was not in the best mood. Customer sat and ordered few dishes. Man creates and serve dishes. Some reason, customer was not satisfied and complaints regards to the dish. Man knows it is business and it is his establishment; man does not talk back and only apologizes. Now, the customer is yelling at him. Calling him names and criticizing his skills as a cook, and questions man for his abilities. Customer leaves. Man's day has been ruined. The man closes his restaurant for the day carrying this anger inside of him. Suppressing much as he can. Man gets home. His wife opens up the door with smile saying "Welcome home, honey" But man is in no mood to be jolly. Wife has prepared the dinner, and he s

2016 Presidential Election

Is it the internet that made this generation to be "pussy" generation? or is it the fact that we are more aware of the situation because internet let us see the world as it is and finally getting shine on it? Regardless what the origin is, we know we are facing problems in U.S. Racial separation is rising, class division is more defined, middle class is no longer a mid class but more on upper low class, and poverty is in state of one of all time highest. It gotten some what better as some jobs have been created resulting to less number of employment,  gas price has dropped from nearing $5 to $2.50 a Gal. AVG. But, with this up coming election, we seems like we are about to have another civil war; black people are more vocal and closet confederates are surely surfacing. But I think both of sides can agree on one thing is that we can't trust politicians. Image of Republican party has been diminished by works of George W. Bush where we suffered the one of the worst economic

Samsung Pay: New mile stone of mobile pay

As our technology grew, so did our payment system. Old days days, it was all gold coins, then cash came in as nations established their banking system, then we were introduced to credit card, and now, mobile payment. Mobile payment became some what of essential thing and many store started to adopt the trend and enhanced their credit card system to make mobile payment easy due to our daily usage of our smartphones. But not many followed suites. I would say about 75% of the bricks and stone stores haven't got to that, yet. But do not fear, Samsung Pay is here. Few days ago, i was out of town and when I was on my way back,  i accidentally left my wallet in my parents car. Luckily I had my passport, so getting through security check at the airport wasn't going to be a problem. But, i had no money; no cash, no card, no anything. But i had my phone. I had my Android pay set up on my phone, but my fear was that stores at airport wasn't equipped to accept mobile payment yet.
