1. Client/server awareness. Visit three local stores in your neighborhood or mall and notice the information technology in the store - e.g., computerized cash registers, surveillance cameras, inventory information, etc. Ask an employee about the technology. If the store uses servers, report what they do and what the clients do.
2. Questions should be polite and specific. Do employees need special training to use the computers? Are servers kept in the back of the store? Is there a computer somewhere else linked to computers in the store? Do they ever break down? What happens if they do break down?
3. Write a report of about five hundred words describing the information in the stores, and submit it to the teacher. ​
