Decision making is the study of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision maker.

History’s brightest innovators, from inventor and artist Leonardo de Vinci and his anemometer, to theoretical physicist Albert and his theory of relativity, did not develop their creative faculties in a school setting. School conferred upon them basic fundamentals, but it was their search for ingenuity outside of school that truly brought them recognition. In fact, many successful individuals have argued that school obstructs creativity flow due to its rules and regulations. Revolutionary minds in Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of

While the FCC has maintained that net neutrality regulations increased difficulty for broadband providers to invest in their networks, evidence suggests that such regulations have had zero negative effect on initial telecom investment. Following the repeal of net neutrality, the market now dictates what succeeds or fails online. Meaning Washington attorneys and officials are now a
