Internet Cafe Business Prospects

Nowadays Internet has really became part of almost every people lives. and in Indonesia we can see that there are so many Internet Cafe almost everywhere. Because of that i'm going to research and further explain about the prospects in Internet Cafe business as to why there are so many Internet Cafe that it became literally everywhere

According to my research. around 9 out of 10 people even kids use internet whether it's from personal computer, mobile phone, or goes to internet cafe around their place. 7 out of 10 use internet for Social Networking like Facebook, Twitter, and gaming purpose. 3 out of 10 use it for business or task purpose.

3 out of 10 people use mobile device that also provides internet. around 4 out of 10 people go to internet cafe. 3 out of 10 people use personal computers. 

Judging from the results of my survey research. we can see that people tend to go to internet cafe more, and this sums up that internet cafe business has good prospects. Next i did some interview about reason why they choose internet cafe more than using personal computer and mobile devices and see the range of customers that tend to go to internet cafe.

But before that, I will classify the internet cafe category into 3 parts, first part being the "Cheap Internet Cafe", second part as "Moderate Internet cafe", Third part as "Expensive Internet Cafe". 

Why the need to classify them as three parts? because after some research that i did. I found out that based from their price range and service, the customer that came into internet cafe varies greatly. Because of that i feel the need to classify them into 3 category and that way i can explain the business prospects with better understandings.

I will start with "Cheap Internet Cafe". This category of internet cafe have really low price rate for using it per hour ranging from Rp.1.000,- to Rp.4.000 for one hour. this class of internet cafe has really poor service, comfortness, availability, computer quality, connection quality, and security. most common customer in this class of cafe are kids and students and rare to almost none adults. 

As for why they choose this kind of internet cafe, intriguing enough because they choose this because they can browse porns freely (yes even kids) without trouble because there barely any security used and it's not like the clerk or administrator even the owner cares about it (because they also are doing it) customer here also use it for social networkings because it doesn't really need that high of connection quality. Most of this kind of internet cafe exist because the owner doesn't really have high funds for improving the quality and are doing this so they can get some money while also having the benefit from internet connection. 

Next i will explain the "Moderate Internet Cafe". This category of internet cafe has average rate around Rp.4.000,- to RP.8.000,-. This category of internet cafe has poor to moderate service quality, either poor or moderate comfortness, average connection quality, poor to okay network security. Common customer are students and some adults.
Reasons for choosing this type of internet cafe because they are moderately okay in terms of service quality, sometimes comfortable, moderate connection quality, and poor to moderate security. Most customer used this cafe for gaming purpose and social networking. Some adult use it also for business purpose although rarely.

Next and the last one is "Expensive Internet Cafe". this kind of internet cafe has price ranged from around Rp.6.000,- to Rp.15.000,- or even more. one can expect good hospitality and service in this kind of internet cafe, some might even have inside food store. Some people will also even stay here because of this kind of service. PC used for this cafe are usually strong high end PC and sometime gaming equipment. Administrator are strict and security and privacy are good although it's still compromised because administrator monitors all. students and adults are common in here either for gaming or job purpose

These are the 3 category for Internet Cafe in Indonesia, considering how they are made according to availability range. It is safe to say that internet cafe business is doable on any degree of society. According to my research, it can be said that people go to Internet Cafe rather than having personal computer connection because some internet cafe offers really good, fast, and stable connection that is needed for gaming reason. People also prefer internet cafe because it is more comfortable than what they can afford at their home.

How about the prospects seeing there are so many internet cafe out there?

As far as i can see, the prospect is still good because most internet cafe have poor condition and people can be attracted by giving better service.

The only hard thing for internet cafe business is maintenance. Most people that go to internet cafe does not care about proper device usage and tends to break devices quick due to their bad behaviour and usage. Managing internet cafe will need good administrator which is really rare.

To sum it all up. Internet Cafe business has good prospects, but it will depend in the area it will be made and the ability to keep maintaining good quality, service and firm regulations in case there's bad customer gets warned to prevent big loss due to device malfunctioning also to keep good order in the Internet Cafe.

SIMPLIFIED STYLE

This is another modification of the fully-blocked style. This style is used when you write a letter and you do not know the name and title of the person to whom you are writing the letter. The salutation and the complimentary closing are used in this style. The subject is mentioned din capital fonts and that subject need not be underlined. 

Today around all the business houses, this style is widely used when the writer of the letters does not want to give importance to formality. Since the formality is not adopted here, this style goes to the heart of the addressee. This style give more importance only to the core matter of the letter.

Parts of Business Letter

Posting things for class assignments =3=
in this post i will try to describe what is a business letter and what made it. like normal letter, Business letter also separated into few parts.

LETTERHEAD

Now the very first part of letter is a "Letterhead"
Letterhead / Return address is the topmost part of a business letter which provide following information to the recipient of the letter

It consists of : 1. Legal name of the organization
                     2. Address of the organization (including street address)
                     3. Name and/or post office box number, suite
                     4. Area code and telephone number(s)

Note that some departments, branch offices and company officers may have their own letterheads which contain specific identifiers.


In addition, the letterhead may also include the company logo and fax number(s).
When letterhead stationery is not available, a return address with the same information that a letterhead contains is placed immediately above the date line in the letter.

Date Line

Second part of the letter is a Date line.

The date line appears two or three lines below the letterhead (or as many as six or seven lines below if the letter is short). If no letterhead is used, the date line appears directly underneath the return address.
The date line should never extend into either margin.

The normal order of elements in the date line are month, day, and year, e.g., July 15, 20--. However, in the U.S. Government and many foreign countries, the preference is to present the day before the month, e.g., 15 July 20--. In either case, abbreviations are not allowed.

Reference Line or Block

Next part of the letter is reference line. reference line or block is optional and should be used when the letter refers to several invoices, letters, or telephone conversations. With this there is no need to include reference  information in the opening paragraph.

Reference lines or blocks appear immediately below or two lines below the date line, depending upon company preference. They can begin with RE or References
.
If several references are listed, each may be preceded by a number or letter identifier to facilitate ease of referral (by number or letter) within the body of the document. In documents of multiple pages, reference lines may appear under the date in the heading of all pages.

Attention Line

An attention line is used when the inside address does not include either the name of an individual or the name of the department. It appears two lines below the inside address.

The word attention may have an initial capital letter or appear in all capitals. The use of a colon after the word is optional.

If the word "ATTENTION" is written in all capital letters, the name following should also appear in all capitals.

Salutation

Next part is salutation. Salutation helps to establish the tone of the correspondence.
The salutation appears two spaces beneath the inside address and usually begins with the conventional greeting like "Dear" followed by the title and name of the addressee. No punctuation follows the salutation in open punctuation style. In standard punctuation style, a colon (formal letters) or comma (informal letters) follows the salutation.
When the addressee's name is unknown, several options are available:

- Ladies and Gentlemen ( or reversed )                                           -Ladies (if all women)
- Dear Sir or Madam ( or reversed )                                               -Gentlemen (if all men)
- Dear Friends                                                                                -Dear Colleagues

Sexist salutations, e.g., Dear Sirs, Gentlemen, etc., are not used. When the gender of the addressee is known, then Dear Mr. or Dear Ms. are acceptable.

When none of the non-gender alternatives seems appropriate, a simplified letter format (omitting the salutation) may be used. Another solution is to omit the gender title, e.g., Dear Chris Smith.

Subject Line

Next part of the letter before the body is the Subject line

With a descriptive subject lines, it will instantly inform a reader of the general content of the letter. They also permit accurate filing and retrieval from files.

Subject lines specifically define the subject matter of the letter. They appear two lines below the salutation and two lines above the first line of the text, although the simplified letter format may have different spacing. Subject lines are highlighted by boldface type, underlining, or the use of all capital letters.

Text or Body

Text or Body is the next part and also the main part of a letter because everything that needs to be informed is described in this part.

The text or body begins two lines below the salutation or subject line. (In the simplified letter format, the text begins three lines below the subject line.) The text is single or double spaced, depending on letter length.
Paragraphs are not indented in block, modified block, and simplified format letters, but they are indented (usually five spaces) in semiblock format letters. A blank line appears between paragraphs.
Long quotations are indented five spaces from both the left and right margins, with a blank line both before and after. A similar indentation is used for lists in letters with the semiblock format.
Reverse or "hanging" indentation is a format option, especially in advertising letters:


The first line begins flush with the left margin, with subsequent lines indented five spaces.
At least three lines of text must appear on any page following the initial page. If necessary, margins and line spacing are adjusted to meet this requirement.

Headings for Continuation Pages

if there's more than one page of letter. Heading is added again for continuation pages

Continuation pages begin with a heading which contains the name of the addressee, the page number, and the date. The continuation page can also repeat information given in the reference line.

Complimentary Closing

The complimentary closing should convey the level of formality and degree of personal feeling that the writer has for the reader.
The complimentary closing (omitted in the simplified letter format) appears two lines below the last line of text. Its alignment varies with the format of the letter:
In block letters, the complimentary closing appears flush with the left margin.
In modified and semiblock letters, the complimentary appears right of center or may be flush with the right margin.

Complimentary closings for business letters example :

Sincerely,   Sincerely yours,  Thank you, 

Complimentary closings for informal letters example:

Best wishes,   Kindest regards,  Regards,

Best regards,   Cordially, 

Complimentary closings for very formal letters (those addressed to dignitaries and high officials) include:

Yours sincerely,  Respectfully yours,  Respectfully, 

The word "truly" has become a cliche and should be avoided in letter closings.

Signature Block

The signature block appears four or five lines beneath the complimentary closing (or at a like distance below the last line of text of simplified format letters). In block and simplified letters, the signature block is flush with the left margin, while in modified and semiblock letters, the signature is usually right of center.
The signature block contains the handwritten signature of the writer, the full typed name of the writer, and the title of the writer. The company name is optional.
The company name is only needed in a signature block when the letter represents a company policy, position, or decision.
Secretaries who sign a letter for the author should sign the author's name and then add their own initials either in the middle or on the right side under the signature.
Academic titles and professional titles, when used, follow the typed name and replace Dr. or other courtesy titles preceding the name.

Reference Initials

Reference initials (the writer's initials and the secretary's/typist's initials) appear two lines below the last line of the signature block and flush with the left margin.
If only the secretary's/typist's initials are used, they are usually lowercase, e.g., rgn. If the writer's initials are included, they are in all capitals, followed by a slash mark or colon, and then followed by the secretary's /typist's initials in lower case, e.g., TLM/rgn or TLM:rgn.
If the writer is different from the person sending the letter, the signer's initials should appear first, the writer's initials should appear next, and the secretary's/typist's initials should appear last:

EBD/TLM/rgn
EBD:TLM:rgn

Enclosure Notation

An enclosure notation reminds readers of enclosures and appears directly under reference initials. The following are examples of enclosure notation forms:

Enclosure   Enc.    Enclosures (3)

3 Enclosures   Enclosures 3

BAB 1

PENDAHULUAN

1.1  Latar Belakang Masalah

Pada era globalisasi, perkembangan peralatan elektronika mendominasi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Permintaan konsumen dan perkembangan jaman memaksa peralatan elektronika juga berkembang untuk memenuhinya,  mulai dari alat rumah tangga sampai dengan peralatan berat yang digunakan di pabrik atau konstruksi. Saat ini peralatan elektronika semakin mendominasi dikarenakan efisiensi dan berbagai keringanan yang ditawarkan. Tidak dapat dipungkiri dalam kehidupan sehari – hari peralatan elektronika semakin dibutuhkan.

Zaman sekarang banyak alat-alat yang berbasis pada perkembangan elektronika yang sangat bermanfaat dalam kehidupan manusia untuk meningkatkan produktifitas atau kenyamanan dalam hal apapun. Alat-alat tersebut umumnya ditanamkan dengan chip atau mikrokontroller sebagai otak.  Di dalam mikrokontroller tersebut terdapat beberapa transistor yang dapat aktif sesuai dengan logika-logika program yang dipakai. Selain mikrokontroller, ada juga sensor yang berfungsi sebagai input yang akan dikirim ke mikrokontroller untuk diproses. Nantinya, hasil pemrosesan dari mikrokontroller tersebut akan dikeluarkan melalui output yang digunakan pada alat tersebut.

Setelah meninjau fenomena diatas, muncul pemikiran untuk menerapkan fenomena di atas menjadi dasar dari penulisan ilmiah kali ini. Pemikiran tersebut bermula ketika sedang mengisi spidol dengan tinta. Saat mengisi tinta spidol terdapat banyak kesulitan contohnya pengisian berlebihan yang menyebabkan meluapnya tinta yang membuat kotor, sulitnya menghitung berapa banyak tetesan tinta yang diberikan.

Atas dasar tersebut penulis ingin mencoba untuk membuat suatu alat berbasis mikrokontroller dan sensor yang berfungsi untuk mempercepat dan mempermudah dalam pengisian spidol sehingga dapat mengefisiensikan waktu pengisian spidol yang sebelumnya memakan waktu yang cukup lama menjadi singkat dan menghindari kotor akibat luapan tinta.

1.2  Batasan Masalah

Pada tulisan ini, penulis membatasi permasalahan pada cara kerja sensor agar dapat mendeteksi ada atau tidaknya spidol pada tempat yang ditentukan, yang selanjutnya akan mengirim sinyal masukan ke mikrokontroller. Juga bagaimana agar komponen keluaran berupa LCD dan solenoid valve dapat berjalan sesuai keinginan pembuat dalam pengoperasian alat.

1.3  Tujuan Penulisan

Tujuan dari pembuatan alat pengisi spidol otomatis berbasis ATMega8535 adalah untuk mengontrol alat tersebut dengan menggunakan ATMega8535 untuk meningkatkan efisiensi dan mempercepat waktu pengisian tinta spidol.

1.4  Metode Penulisan

1.      Studi pustaka, yaitu  mencari data dari berbagai sumber sebagai landasan berpikir secara teoritis dengan mempelajari buku – buku yang ada hubungannya dengan penelitian ini, sebagai sumber informasi dan bahan acuan dengan masalah yang sudah tercantum di atas.

2.      Perancangan alat, yaitu merencanakan apa yang akan dirancang, baik hardware dan softwarenya.

3.      Implementasi, yaitu dengan menerapkan alat tersebut ke dalam kegiatan sehari – hari.

4.      Pengujian alat, yaitu dengan mengujikan alat yang sudah dibuat apakah sesuai dengan yang telah direncanakan. Pengujian dilakukan pada tiap – tiap blok, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pengujian secara keseluruhan.

1.5  Sistematika Penulisan

Sistematika penulisan ini berguna untuk mempermudah penyampaian informasi kepada pembaca dalam memahami maksud dalam makalah ini, sistematika penulisannya adalah sebagai berikut :

BAB I  PENDAHULUAN

Bab I berisi uraian tentang latar belakang masalah, batasan permasalahan, tujuan penulisan, metode penulisan, dan sistematika penulisan.

BAB II  LANDASAN TEORI
