Third Contribution by Rashid Leonard

The essay discusses how small businesses, particularly those in the informal economy such as barbershops, face technological challenges that impede their business growth. One of the main challenges for barbers is that they are limited to physical spaces, which can be problematic as customers often demand on-site service delivery regardless of price. To address these challenges, the essay suggests using computer programming and software architecture to create automated systems that can shorten the gap between service provision and customer convenience. The essay also explains how software architecture takes a top-down approach to component-oriented development and can be applied to businesses like barbershops. Overall, the essay argues that incorporating technology into business operations can help small businesses thrive in today's economy.
