...Advantages and disadvantages of technology. In the last century many people did things by hand but nowadays more and more tasks have become automated. For example, many people have washing machines, clothes driers and dishwashers, so the amount of energy needed to wash and dry clothes and wash dishes is greatly reduced. As technology progresses, more and more of these tasks will be automatic, for example, vacuum cleaning or cutting the grass. In addition to this, improvements in technology have given us 24-hour a day entertainment from digital TV to video games. This means that there are fewer tasks to do, more time to do nothing and more opportunities to sit around and be entertained without moving very much. As we can see, there are both advantages and disadvantages to this. I will deal with the advantages firstly. I think, there are at least two positive effects of this. First of all, we don't need to do repetitive and uninteresting job like washing-up and this gives us more time to do other things. What we do with this time depends upon the individual. Secondly, for people, who are less able to do these jobs, like elderly or disabled people, these machines are a great help. Future developments may be able to help them even more. I think, this is the most positive side of technology. Now I will look at the disadvantages. As I mentioned, it is up to the individual what they do with this extra time. Unfortunately, instead of doing everyday tasks people tend to watch television...

...PERSONAL LEARNING Presentation titled, 'Why we should donate blood'. I've discussed to members of the group to choose this topic, because it happened in every country and it is easy to be described and presented. In every country have associations and clubs for blood donation. Blood is very important to the human body because blood carries oxygen to every limbs of the human body to provide energy to work or do anything. My friends and I was explained the meaning of blood and describes about blood donation. When I was doing a research on blood donation activities, I can conclude that in every country, these activities have received less attention because people assume the blood donation is an activity which is a waste of time and they are too busy with their daily activities. By doing a presentation, I can understand the actual meaning of the matter it was the blood donation. As a result, I was able to deepen knowledge about the outside world. I have made a report about blood donation. I found in any public or private hospital has inadequate blood supply. This is very dangerous because when patients who need the blood, he forced be taken from the family members or the same blood sample. This will take a long time to do because family members need to make in advance of the examination. 'Why we should to donate blood' I emphasize this topic because it is important to every person. 'Why' refers to the reason and the importance of donating blood. 'We should' means the necessary...

...Economic History of Hong Kong Hong Kong’s economic and political history has been primarily determined by its geographical location. The territory of Hong Kong is comprised of two main islands (Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island) and a mainland hinterland. It thus forms a natural geographic port for Guangdong province in Southeast China. In a sense, there is considerable continuity in Hong Kong’s position in the international economy since its origins were as a commercial entrepot for China’s regional and global trade, and this is still a role it plays today. From a relatively unpopulated territory at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Hong Kong grew to become one of the most important international financial centers in the world. Hong Kong also underwent a rapid and successful process of industrialization from the 1950s that captured the imagination of economists and historians in the 1980s and 1990s. Hong Kong from 1842 to 1949 After being ceded by China to the British under the Treaty of Nanking in 1842, the colony of Hong Kong quickly became a regional center for financial and commercial services based particularly around the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and merchant companies such as Jardine Matheson. In 1841 there were only 7500 Chinese inhabitants of Hong Kong and a handful of foreigners, but by 1859 the Chinese community was over 85,000 supplemented by about 1600 foreigners. The economy was closely linked to commercial activity, dominated by shipping, banking...

Science writers need not even be set in the future,they are just trying to write an entertainment and thought-provoking stories to attract people’s mind.they prefer to fall into one or more of the following literary categories,Cautionary tales,Thought experiments,Literalized metaphors and Explorations of new science and technology.To some extent,they are a batch of nonmalignant socialists.Because they have transmitted a mass of message which is conductive to our life.So it’s the future that predicts science fiction. Beside of these,each science fiction writers is an individual human being with an individual personal history.Notwithstanding it has its own advantages,but there is no doubt that it has both merits and demerits.For example,People who grew up during the Depression,will have a very different attitude toward money than those who grew up during the Baby Boom.This explains why not every SF story written during a certain week reflects only the news of that week.Each SF...

...Innovation in Technology, Advantages and Disadvantages. Introduction: The objective of this paper is to examine the techniques related to incremental technological innovation in light of its advantages and disadvantages. Many studies focus on techniques of speeding up the cycle of product design. However, the fastest and most effective way to speed up the introduction of a product is to execute an incremental improvement – to an existing produce - that could serve a new and particular need. On the other side of the spectrum, there is what is called the megaproject. A project that starts out with over-the-top ambitious objectives, it requires almost extraordinary effort to accomplish, it demands enormous financial budgets, it typically runs over time and misses many deadlines, and at the end, few examples make a splash and many are written as “tax deductions”. While these heroic projects make good news stories, they do not always make money. They can fail very dramatically and expensively. Since these failures do not make such good new stories, we hear less about them, and overestimate the success rate of megaprojects. We underestimate the importance and value of incremental programs and mislead ourselves about the true risk of the megaproject. We need to look more carefully at these two approaches. Therefore, the opinion expressed here is that the incremental innovators are in fact the unsung heroes of product development. In examining the advantages of incremental...

...Advantages and disadvantages of the following analog modulation techniques: In analog technology, compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, phase modulation, and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Amplitude Modulation When dealing with communication modulation is the process of altering one or more of the three primary parameters of a message signal. Modulation of message signals allow for the signal to be imbedded into a carrier signal that can be physically transmitted. The three primary parameters are amplitude, frequency, and phase. When dealing with analog modulation techniques each one that is used will have advantages and disadvantages. The amplitude modulation (AM) technique is based on the transformation of the highs and lows of a signal wave or its strength. This technique has the advantages of being able to travel long distances by bouncing off of structures as well as the atmosphere. The main disadvantage of this modulation technique is that is highly susceptible to signal interference from other electronic devices and waves creating and unclear signal, these interferences are what is known has noise. Frequency modulation (FM) is that of what its names says it is the altering of the frequency of a baseband signal. Altering the number of times each second that the current changes direction; comes with the advantage of being less susceptible to noise unlike that of AM. Also unlike AM, FM is not...

...document will focus on the advantages and disadvantages or the use of .NET technology in use compared to the use of JAVA Technology as Software Architecture, (University of Phoenix, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005). .NET technology is the means to “connect” meaning connecting software, people, structures, things like printers, networks, computers, anything one can think of, (Getdotnnu.com, 2004-06). JAVA Technology is known to be adaptable where it can connect computers to networks, mobile phones to the internet, and game consoles such as the new Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii to the internet to access web browsing, built in plug in like Netflix to watch movies, and to other consoles for online gaming like the popular shooter Call of Duty. Advantages of .NET technologies are that it has the ability to grab internet servers that web services and tools such as internet apps or anything that can produce these services. One profitable feature of .NET is its ASP.net technologies that allows for the making of additional websites and net services that exist on the .NET infrastructure, (Getdotnu.com, 2004-06). Another powerful advantage of .NET technology is the ASP feature is that it creates construction sites, services and applications and does not require as much coding as the older coding in the beginning. A disadvantage of the use of .NET is its lack of support on several platforms or multiplatform to be exact. Another disadvantage is which can be very...

...Wireless Technologies Proposal BIS/220 Ivon Young Wireless Technologies Proposal Mrs. Smith, the President of Party Plates likes to know about wireless technologies available for her business to use. Currently, her company doesn’t use any wireless technologies. She has asked team D to recommend at least two wireless technologies that would be beneficial to implement her organization. Proposal There are many different options out there that could work to assist in the daily operational activities; two of these technologies that would be most beneficial are handheld terminals and a company e-mail system. When a customer is looking for a product that cannot be found on the shelf in the store, an employee can use the handheld terminal to scan the label on the shelf to see if there is any in stock. If so, they will be able to see where the product is located and quickly locate. Another situation where the handheld terminal is useful is inventory. A Party Plates employee can quickly identify products that are low in stock. Because there are so many functions on the handheld terminals, managers can give the employees codes with passwords to monitor the work that each employee is or is not doing. Another technology that would be very useful to Party Plates is a company e-mail system. A manager may need to get a communication to all employees at one time. With a company e-mail system, doing so would be very easy. Communication could involve hot sales...
