The term “IDK” replaces “I don’t know” and “u” replaces the word “you”. All this change was to help make texting easier at the time when texting first started. People had the want and need to communicate using text lacking the time and convenience to type out full words, sentences, and paragraphs. It was at this time Techs language a group of individual words or fragments of sentences in languages that deals with texts as communication systems was formed. Now we as a people have become so use to our text language, it has made it that much harder own grammar. The toll it has taken it proven evident when some of us sit down to write a letter, paper, fill out a form or write an essay with pen and paper. We fail to be able to express our feelings and write in a way that is understandable to the reader as pen and paper have no spell check attached to them.

Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, ATI had plants in Arizona and California and a sales and service network of 21 offices in North America, Europe, Japan, Korea, and Asia-Pacific. In October 1997, the CEO was reviewing a five-year financing plan. Sales of semiconductor equipment soared at a 52% annual compound rate during 1993-1996, or approximately twice the growth rate during the prior seven-year period and three times the sales growth of the semiconductor industry. Equipment providers were suddenly faced with capital spending cutbacks, order cancellations, and requests by customers for extended terms. Over the long-term, demand for semiconductor equipment was expected to resume its double-digit growth. New uses were growing far beyond the computer-in communications, transportation, medical technology, automation, and a host of consumer products: pocket-size cellular phones, interactive video games, digital VCRs, laser scanners, camcorders, and high-definition TV. To be competitive, suppliers must advance complex chips from the drawing board to the printed circuit board and provide production-worthy systems that can be supported on a 24 hour, worldwide basis.

...ADVANCED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY CORP CASE 2. BA 280.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The case analysis focused into determining whether Tom Winter (Western National Bank) shall approve Peter Haskins’ (Advanced Medical Technologies) application for an $8M loan. Advanced Medical Technologies, a young company who has invested in research and development and marketing in its three years of operations (1983-85), is seeking for WNB’s approval of the said loan to fund their growth to 1986. This was despite the fact that the company has already availed of short-term loans from Sunnyvale and two other banks and in all accounts fell short of meeting their responsibilities. On top of this, AMT has also opened itself to Biological Laboratories’ buying of shares and possible merger. Using Tom Winter’s perspective, the 3-year financial statements of AMT was analyzed and revealed that the company’s operating expenses have continually increased over the 1983-85 period, overdrawn credit limit at Sunnyvale. Despite these seemingly negative indicators of AMT’s financial health, the company still presents itself as a strong player in the industry with its Gross Profit (GP) Ratios which increased from 48 to 55% from 1983-853. For AMT to realize its full potential, it must ensure that it has facilities in place to support production. Hence, the group came to a conclusion that Mr.Winter should approve the entire $8M which AMT applied for. Furthermore, so as for WNB to continuously support AMT’s financial needs...

...Advanced Medical Technology Corporation (AMT) Background Advanced Medical Technology Corporation, AMT, is a company that develops, manufactures, and sells medical instruments that offer an alternative to traditional surgical procedures at less risk and lower cost. Due to the innovative nature of the company and their need to sustain growth patterns they invest heavily on research and development and in their sales force. At the present time, AMT has been able to grow their sales in excess of 30% annually. However, it should be noted that Peter Haskins, AMT President, believes that the sales trend the company has experienced will continue and if the company fails to meet sales demand it will compromise it’s market position. Thus far, AMT has relied on short term credit, lease agreements, and the establishment of a connection with Biological Labs Inc. to meet the demand for their products and continue R&D patterns. Peter Haskins recently approached our bank because he had become dissatisfied with his loan agreement of $6 million at Sunnyvale Bank. Mr. Haskins explained that Sunnyvale Bank did not make an effort to understand his company and that they had adopted a very restrictive attitude that has limited AMT’s room for expansion. In the body of the memo we will provide the following: a general analysis, financial statement analysis, a review of the 5 C’s of Credit, and an investigation of Biological Labs ability to back AMT. At the conclusion of this memo we...

...Advanced science and technology have made great changes to people's life,but artists such as musicians painters and writers are still highly valued. What can arts tell us about life that science cannot? Nowadays, the improvement of people’s living standard owes much to advanced technology and science. So, the functions and significance of art are contested by many people. In my point of view, arts can convey some messages that science can never be able to convey. First, it is clear that the arts represent human thoughts, whereas science represents natural order. In other words, the arts lead people to perceive the world while science aims at discovering the nature of things. This means arts is a part of culture and have various forms in different societies, can be give different meanings by different people. By comparison the established theories and principles of science would hardly alter and always be applied to the whole world. So, arts is subjective and can promote people’s creativity and imagination. Moreover, arts can enrich individual’s cultural life. This is because science and technology enhance the social productivity and enrich material wealth, only arts can satisfy their spiritual and emotional needs. For example, the Chinese traditional art forms Beijing Opera and cross-talk have been welcomed by lots of people and brought enjoyment of spirit to them for many years. Last but not least, the arts can sometimes change individual’s attitudes toward life...

Silorio August 10, 2015 INTRODUCTION The world has progressed through hunter–gatherer, agricultural, and industrial stages to provider of goods and services. This progression has been catalyzed by the cultural and social evolution of mankind and the need to solve specific societal issues, such as the need for preservation to free people from foraging for food, and the need for adequate nutrition via consistent food supply year round. These forces led to the development of the food industry, which has contributed immensely to the basis for a healthy human civilization and helped society prosper and flourish (Lund 1989). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, our population is increasing, and we need a 70% increase in food production. We have to grow, harvest, distribute, and consume our food more efficiently to feed all those people. We are not gaining more farmers or any other resources, and the production of our food is not as fast as our growing population, so the use of technology for the innovation of food production is a great help in addressing the issue. EFFICIENCY OF TECHNOLOGY The production of food is not always the same, it also depends on our resources, area, and climate. The natural disasters we experienced also affects the production.

...computer teacher at Garfield High School in downtown Los Angeles, California. To his surprise, the school lacked the computers he needed for the class, so he took an alternative position as a math teacher. In that first year of teaching, Mr. Escalante was confronted with many obstacles. The school was in the verge of loosing its operative certification; many students scored poorly in their academics, had problems with drugs or were involved in gang violence. As a new teacher, he constantly felt frustrated, with a sense of guilt for not inspiring his class to love math the way he did. Subsequently, and against all the odds, Mr. Escalante made a great contribution in the lives of students, and transformed the face of the College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® (AP®). Most...

Today we have smart phones that do fit in your pocket, laptops, tablets, flat screen TV’S, and even better cameras than they had back then. In the 1970’s, Technology was affected by NASA and many other things. One of the big things NASA did in the 1970s was Apollo 13-17 which inspired people to better technology. The black hole theory was also one of the biggest reason people started making technology more advanced in order to study the black hole. Back then all they had was crappy printers.

...What affects technology have had on our lives? Technology is a major part of both our professional and personal life whether if It’s at work, school, or home. According to Gebski’s article, he argues that “Technology is now so integrated with our lives that going without it can cause severe anxiety for some and It’s not hard to see why Technology has taken over” (2015). I completely agree with Gebski, because we depend so much on technology that going a day without it is impossible. With the level of technology use in our society “Modern technology has become such an important facet of our lives that without it, the world would be radically different” (Asset AmeriCorps Blog, 2011).
