...Technology: Self-checkout lanes hurting the economy and customer satisfaction During the 1900’s America was recognized as a national powerhouse with a strong economy that offered citizens careers and economic stability. Today, we are fighting unemployment and recovering from an unstable stock market. Although many factors have impacted the economy since then, one factor that goes unnoticed is the growth in technological advancements and how it is directly affecting employment rates and customer satisfaction. Machines used to be basic, and controlled by people, but since technology has progressed machines are now capable of performing jobs solely on their own. Police officers are being replaced by camera lights, cashiers by self-service checkout machines, and operators by automated voice recognition machines. Technology, more specifically self-checkout machines are directly affecting our economy; it’s eliminating jobs and leaves customers feeling unsatisfied. The problem with today’s technology is that it is self-reliant, such as the CHEC software program which runs all IBM self-checkout machines. IBM mentions on their website how it “Offers retailers a totally integrated self-checkout solution that can effectively manage and help lower total cost of ownership (TCO).” They are trying to appeal to managers that the total cost of operations will undeniably decline if you buy their product. Aside from lower total cost of operations these machines have their advantages and disadvantages...

...10/3/12 “Judge Lifts Ban on U.S. Sales of Samsung Tablet,” The Wall Street Journal, 10/2/2012 This article is concerned with a patent law matter. After she had issued a preliminary injunction in June requiring Samsung to halt sales of its Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Judge Lucy Koh lifted the ban on Monday. Koh had based the injunction on the Samsung’s likely violation of Apple’s tablet design patent. The jury found Samsung in violation of six other patents, but the tablet design patent, which was the basis for the injunction, was not one of them. The jury reached a verdict in August, but Samsung simultaneously asked for the injunction to be lifted and appealed the case, which created a question of who had jurisdiction to lift the injunction. On Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that Koh could decide on whether or not to lift the injunction. This ruling is the latest significant event in an ongoing legal patent war between Samsung and Apple. Both sides have filed posttrial motions, which Koh will rule on in December. Apple is seeking a higher reward for the patent infringement damages and a permanent ban on the sale of infringing products, while Samsung is looking to eliminate the reward and the sales ban altogether. Although the temporary ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was lifted, a posttrial ban that Apple is seeking could still ban sales of the device because the jury did find that it infringed on some of Apple’s patents – just not the tablet design patent which...
