Adaptation
I was browsing through CNN.com one day, and I was totally appalled. People in the news are either in poverty, out of work, dying, or have died. What is this? Tomorrow is just another bad news day. It’s quite sad that we can celebrate the election of Barack Obama and report the death of a teenager at sea all in the same newspaper. I don’t know how things work in this era of chaos. It’s a mess!
But still, as I browse through the same web network, article after article is saying that small businesses, in general, are the best navigators through this crazy economic turmoil. Experts say that it is untraditional marketing that makes all the difference. Well, what do you know?
I can’t really say that small businesses are really doing okay, though. There still is a relevant number of articles saying that the heaviest impact made by the financial crunch are on small to medium sized enterprises. Which is it?
For as long as there are entrepreneurs saying that they’re going downhill fast but ones that say they’re still doing well, I believe there is still hope. We can think of it as a species trying to survive in a changing world. Successful companies must have something that allows them to thrive in a world of crisis. Many if these enterprises adapt to the environment.
Adaptation. I like that word. It means we can go on and continue to live. The ones that can adjust to environmental alterations are the ones that are still here. It’s a struggle, I realize, but what matters is existence. The rule says only the strong survive. Today, that rule has changed to: Only the innovative survive. Untradition. Extra-exaggeration. Un-ordinary. All these elements differentiate “boy-companies” from “man-companies.”
Unconventional, eye-catching marketing is a weapon for many companies. That is why there is an emergence of seminars and classes on marketing and advertising. Why? It works! What would you do if your customers are too budget-conscious? You get their attention out from the money to your funny ad or your crazy gimmick. This is one of those things that are simple on paper, but very difficult to pull off. That’s why these seminars are successful, because people want to get as much knowledge as they can to survive.
The fact is creativity counts. Maybe that’s what all of us should develop because right now, it seems like it’s the way to being victorious.

POS and it’s Humble Beginnings…
Did you know that Retail Point of Sale systems go way back to 1870’s? It all started when James Ritty, an owner of a saloon in Dayton, Ohio got sick of losing sales due to having dishonest employees who often steal his profits. So while on a trip to Europe, Ritty` saw a mechanical device on the ship’s propeller that tracked the number of revolutions for maintenance purposes and applied the same concept by creating a cash register that would record all the cash transactions in his saloon. He and his brother worked on this idea and in 1879, the brothers patented their invention as “Ritty’s Incorruptible Cashier”.
The brothers manufactured their cash registers in a small factory in Dayton and several years later, Jacob H. Eckert of Cincinnati bought the business from the Ritty’s. He formed the National Manufacturing Company in 1881 and later sold it to John H. Patterson who continued to improve the cash register by including rolls of paper that serves as a record for the day’s transactions as well as a receipt.
In 1906, the first electronic cash register was invented by Charles F. Kettering of the National Manufacturing Company.
Several years later, more and more companies launched improved cash registers. August of 1973 where IBM introduced the first commercial use of client-server technology, P2P (peer to peer) communications, LAN (Local Area Network) simultaneous backup, and remote initialization through IBM3650 and IBM3660 Store Systems which could control 128 IBM 3653/3663 Point Of Sale Registers.
In 1979, Gene Mosher, the owner of Old Canal Café in Syracuse, New York created a POS software that ran on an Apple II, to take his customer’s orders by the entrance of the restaurant and print complete preparation details in the restaurant’s kitchen. After giving their orders, customers would just proceed to their tables and find their food waiting for them. Then in 1986, Mosher created the first graphical touch-screen POS software by using the Atari ST and bundled NeoChrome.
Seeing the need for a standard computerized POS system that would simplify the interconnection between POS devices, UnifiedPOS led by The National Retail Foundation created an initiative to combine two existing device interface standards under one specification to allow retailers freedom of choice in the selections of POS devices. And in 1996, Microsoft, NCR Corporation, Epson and Fujitsu-ICL created the first commonly-adopted standard point of sale system named OPOS (OLE for POS) and the following year, Sun Microsystems, IBM and NCR Corporation developed JavaPOS which was released in1999, both of which conforms to UnifiedPOS’s standard.
The Point of Sale systems that we are now using is way advance compared to the ones from the past. Who would’ve thought that we would be able to develop a Point of Sale system that would be able to cater to specific industries, business sizes and utilize a variety of operating systems, hardware requirements and much more? With the advancement of technology, human creativity and innovation, a day would surely come when people would develop a Point of Sale system that would surpass the POS systems we are currently using, and make a new one that is way beyond our imagination.
