“he who is afraid of asking, is afraid of learning”

I found a helpful online website that can be used to ask or find business questions. Its called Startups ! Its really a good spot for entrepreneurs, business students and whoever interested to know about tips, tools, HOWOTs, advice, .. etc. Its like a free consultation. It saves you time and effort and it allows you to share experiences with people all over the world. Just throw your question in their website, by email or using Twitter. It also has a cool feature- a dictionary. So for example if you don’t understand a jargon or a business term just type it in the dictionary and you will get the meaning. The world now is making life easy and simple for learners and entrepreneurs. Everything is being linked and shared via social media that allows many minds to participate. I remember years ago when such information were hard to find or costly. However, I’m not saying that you should follow or accept every advice you get, because everyone has the freedom to say and express whatever they think its right. This can be risky for beginners or learners as they can not distinguish between right or wrong. But its still valuable for some one who is seeking different opinions, brainstorming new ideas or getting familiar with a new field or industry. The voting system up there can give you a hint of the hottest topics and probably somehow reliable answers.  Startups also provides a service that allows you to choose who you want to answer your questions. So in that way you can overcome the fear of getting bad advice. I’m not sure whether or not they have experts in there, but you never know. Its a nice spot to meet like-minded entrepreneurs and possibly building a team and connections. Posting there can also help experts and bloggers who write about business increase their website traffic, improve marketing and building a brand and a name.

P.S. Please note that I choose tools randomly that I believe they have value to entrepreneurs and small business owners. However those websites belong to organizations that I don’t have any contact or contract with them. That does not mean that they are perfect or bad , It depends on readers to judge and choose. The technology is always evolving and improving, so some of these tools is, can or will be obsolete. I welcome advice, comment or criticism. We are all learning.

     Some contemporary economists and critics say that without industry there is no basis for economy.  Because there is little industry left in U.S. do we have any ‘collateral’ with which to base our economy?  Is this contributing to the current economic upheaval?  Is there another way to view this and possibly other solutions or contributing factors?§  Discuss the impact of the telegraph on travel, trade, and information practices. Would you agree that, for its time, the telegraph rivaled the internet in its impact on the economy and how people lived?
    §  The railroads revolutionized transportation, and as Wren asserts moved the United States from local to national trade markets.  The text provides a summary of their contributions; however they were also one of the worst examples of labor management and exploitation outside of agrarian slavery in U.S. history.  What did they do right, what did they do wrong? 
    §  One of the primary criticisms of the industrial revolution was the child and female labor conditions and abuse.  However, as Wren points out, that existed long before factories, and in fact there were many advancements – economic benefit, life-span increase, improved standard of living, less workforce drudgery.  What is your opinion – overall was the industrial revolution all it’s cracked up to be, good and bad?

    Good point Latonya ! I think the industrial world and agriculture is embedded inside the information (internet) revolution. So the current technology controls the industry. I agree with the economists who consider industry as important, because i think we as human still can not live without factories and agriculture. The shift that has been changed during the decades is the employment frame, and yes I think labor was some how kind of a slavery. But also remember even the current modern jobs are somehow looking-good-and-different slavery.
