Identifying Local Opportunities

1) Video-game realism is big business
http://infoweb.newsbank.com/resources/doc/nb/news/15A83F20CBAE18D8?p=AWNB
This article is about how realistic video games are being made; however, it does not really convey the reality of human life or the world the designer is trying to create. It is not always fun playing against the computer programed players as much as it is playing a live person. The designer cannot enforce every human instinct or idea into the game. 
The problem is games are not as realistic as the designer says it will be.
The person who has the problem is the game company that is designing the game because people will not want to buy a video game that claims to be real but is not. 

2) Deputies: Boy drowns in Pine Hills pool

This article is about a three year old boy who drowned in a back yard pool in the afternoon. 
The problem is that Florida is a place where there are pools and lakes everywhere. Mandatory swimming lessons should be enforced so incidents like this never happen. 
The people who own pools or live by lakes and do not take their children to swim lessons are the ones with the problem. 

3) Central Florida 100 - Our panel of 100 influential leaders discusses the most important issues affection you.

Explained by the CEO of Central Florida Commission on Homelessness, the US supreme Court ruled that Florida's death penalty order was unconstitutional. Other state leaders think that the death penalty is painful for the family of victims and there should be an easier way to carry out the process of fairly punishing the guilty and keeping our communities safer.
The problem is that state leaders do not want Florida to be so accepting of the Death Penalty, and want to find a way to keep communities safer and find a way to punish the guilty.

Explained by the rabbi Hillel Scolnick, Orange County residents were given new trash cans that are larger and are supposed to adapt to the new garbage trucks that are still to appear on the roads. 
The problem is that these trash cans are so large it takes up a lot of room in the garage, and citizens cannot leave them outside or they will get an email from the home owner's organization. 

5)Speck didn't have rabies, test shows
http://infoweb.newsbank.com/resources/doc/nb/news/15A7EB54DE3D9B90?p=AWNB
A dog was founded in a trash can next to a dead raccoon and was tasted for rabies. The dog was put in an animal shelter, and since no one came into the shelter to claim that he had been vaccinated, he was euthanized. 
The problem is that he was killed before his test results came in, and he did not have rabies. The opportunity is that a non-profit organization can be created to protect dogs that are waiting for their test results.

  1. You did a great job of summarizing the articles and stating who had the problem in a concise way. I felt like you provided all the information I needed without writing a novel. It was very enjoyable to read. I also like the articles you chose; the one about the dog specifically. Most of my articles were similar to your 3 and 4, check it out! http://rachelsentrepreneurship.blogspot.com/2016/01/identifying-local-opportunities.html

  3. These were really simple to read-thank you! I was able to quickly get to the point of the articles. You summarized the problem in a clear and concise way as well. The video game dilemma interested me, I don't really understand how it's that big or a problem. I also don't know anything about the video game world so that could be why.
    Here is my blog!
