Daily Thoughts 07/24/2018

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of Reinventing Capitalism in the Age of Big Data on the way to work.  I am reading about how firms should become more data oriented.

I checked the displays and the gift books.

I also spent some time looking over duplicate copies of books.

I ordered some books with the Net Lender account today.

I read the latest copy of the New York Times Book Review and Publishers Weekly.

There is a Fundamentals of Computers Class and a Beginning Microsoft Word 2013 Class tonight.

On the way home, I read some more of Reinventing Capitalism in the Age of Big Data.  I am reading about how organizations will be restructured around data with fewer layers of management, more distributed decisionmaking, and the substitution in some of machine learning systems for managers.
