Everything that is on the computer needs to have plenty of storage place. The amount of storage space that one has can effect a lot that you can do on a computer. For example if google did not have enough storage space to process all of its information people would not be able to find information on its website.
In order to store clips of broadway shows, a broadway teasers website needs to have plenty of storage space. Storage comes in the form of bytes and there are many different types of bytes. Examples of the different bytes include, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabyte, petabyte, and exabyte. Kilobytes are the smallest and exabytes are the largest from this list.
A broadway teasers website would need to have a large number of bytes because there are many shows on broadway. The video clips would take up quite a lot of space so to avoid the website from getting too full it should start off with a large amount of storage space. The more storage space there is the more broadway shows people can view prior to buying tickets.

Week 4 - Input and Output
Do you ever wonder when the cast of a broadway show was changing, or when the original lead will no longer be in the show anymore? If there was a way to track the cast for the shows you want to see, you would never have to wonder if the original cast has been replaced when you want to see the show. If there were an RFID on the broadway show you would never have to sit and wonder what actors and actresses will be performing on a given date.
A RFID is a radio frequency identification, where a sticker is placed on an object and you can then look on a computer to track different aspects of the object. The sticker can also be placed on people as well, but for a broadway show purpose the sticker could be placed on a wall in the theater. The broadway show teaser website could have a tab where you can click and track the actors or actresses for a particular show, where you can see who is performing when.
The RFID sticker would be very useful for this website because the clips from the shows would only have the original cast performing. Some people only want to see shows with the original cast, or they want to find out what happens next with the same actors and actresses they just viewed. By just the click of a button one could find out who is performing when, which would then help one to decide what date to see a show. This could be very useful to this broadway teaser website.

Week 3 - Digital Images
In order to have a successful webpage it must be fun and exciting visually. A webpage that is dark and dreary probably will not that many views because people won't enjoy looking at it. Colorful fonts and backgrounds can put people in great moods and make them happy while viewing the page.
If a broadway teaser website were to be made it would need to be very fun and colorful. Broadway is fun and exciting and visitors to the website need to experience those feelings from the second they enter the website. There are 16.7 million color combinations in the world, so there is no reason to have a boring black and white webpage.
All of the colors on a computer have different codes. If someone were to create this website they would have to learn about hexadecimal colors. All that really means is every color has a certain formula. With a certain formula plugged into the computer beautiful colors can take the place of a plain white or black screen. When something is fun to look at, it is more likely that someone will want to visit the webpage more often. Colors would definitely help a broadway teasers website.

Week 2 - The WWW/ E Commerce
You just watched 20 to 30 minutes of one of the new shows on broadway. You have officially decided which show you are going to spend your saved up money on and you are very eager to buy the tickets as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be great if there was an option to buy the tickets right on the broadway teaser website? During this time period more and more people are using the web to purchase items and if there was an option to buy tickets right after you viewed the teaser more people would likely spend their money.
Why would they be more likely to buy the tickets if they could on the website? Well the show is fresh in their minds and all they would have to do is click on a button on the open screen in front of them. This is much easier then trying to remember to visit another website later on in the day or the week to buy tickets.
Would this even be possible? Would this broadway teaser website even have the rights to sell tickets? Well the button that they click could lead them right to telecharge or ticketmaster to purchase the tickets for that particular show they just "teased". Websites like telecharge and ticketmaster are two very known websites where web payments are constantly made. They are already established as a safe website to put your credit card into, probably because they have PCI DSS (payment card industry date security standard). PCI DSS protects the consumer by preventing credit card fraud. Because ticketmaster and telecharge are already established as top ticket buying websites, people will probably also be more likely to trust purchasing their tickets there.
I don't think you could go wrong with this idea. Watch 20 to 30 minutes of a broadway show, then comes a button that asks you if you would like to purchase tickets. You are then led straight to a safe web payment site. Easy and efficient.

Broadway Shows on the Internet?
There are many people across the world that enjoy broadway shows but just don't have enough money to take the trip into Manhattan to see a show. Many people hear about all of the great new musicals each year, but they are nervous to spend the money on a show in fear of being let down. I for one always listen to the music before seeing a show just to make sure I would enjoy it. Sometimes listening to the music just does not work. Although I usually love every show I have seen, there have been a few where I wasted my money and wish I could get it back.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to avoid spending hundreds of dollars to be let down? If there were a website that posted the first twenty to thirty minutes of the current shows playing on broadway this problem would be solved. Because money doesn't just endlessly grow on trees, and many people try to be careful with what they spend it on this website would be great for the broadway fans. If one were to hear about a new show that people say were great they could log onto this website and see for themselves. This would be a great way for people to carefully decide which shows to spend their saved up money on.
Not only would this website be great for those with a low to no income (students), it would also benefit the broadway industry. Because the website would only show the first twenty to thirty minutes of the musical or play it would cause people to want to find out what happens next. People would then spend their money on the show to find out the rest of the story. This website would be great all around for everyone!
