(2015) No Ordinary Disruption: The Four Global Forces Breaking All the Trends. United States: PublicAffairs Basic idea of this book In this book, Dobbs, Manyika, and Woetzel emphasize various methods to reset intuition by individuals, companies and governments as a result of four global disruptive forces changing global economy. This book was primarily divided into two parts. In this first part, the authors identify four fundamental disruptions that have quickened and intensified the shifts in global market: the increase of emerging market and the age of rapid urbanization especially in China and India,which led to a significant contribution to help most people escape poverty; the accelerating technological change of nature force of market competition; the aging of population; complex global connections through trade, capital and people. The second part puts emphasis on corresponding strategies and measures to be adopted by individual, companies and government, to adapt to the changes.

...unethical behind the scenes”. Introduction There is no such thing as an agreed definition for exactly what sustainability means. However what we do know is that sustainability is about taking what we require to live now, without tarnishing its potential for people in the future to meet their needs (LandLearnNSW, 2016). Sustainability is based around 3 pillars, these are economic, social and environmental factors. Sustainability reporting is the practice of measuring, disclosing and being accountable to internal and external stakeholders for organisational performance against specific environmental, social and economic governance goals and metrics (lecture notes, 2016). Although it is not a legal requirement for a company to report on sustainability, it is estimated that almost 93% of the top 250 companies globally will do so (lecture notes, 2016). Where did sustainability begin? Sustainability first came into the public eye at a United Nations conference on the human environment, this was located in Stockholm Sweden in 1972 (Moore, 2014). Over 100 nations attended and agreed on an action plan for the human environment. Furthermore the real development of sustainability came at a UN conference in bas in Rio De Janeiro in 1992. It was here where 130 nations signed an agreement climate change, Biodiversity and an action plan called Agenda 21 (Cleveland, Kubiszewski, Miller, 2012).

...Learning Virtually Everything: VR in Education Virtual Reality has been one of this generation’s most promising technologies, with BBC labeling it as one of the most exciting technologies of 2015 as a result of its ubiquity in various different fields ranging from video games, education and even broadcasting. The current generation of virtual reality devices have been influenced by devices of the late 80s and early 90s, with similar head mounted-devices such as Virtuality and the Sega VR-1 headsets being particularly innovative in being able to deliver low latency, stereoscopic immersive experiences, though with the technology at that time these devices were only able to display low resolution, unrealistic graphics that were plagued with performance issues. Their high price tag has also made this technology relatively restrictive, and despite predictions dating back to 1992 stating that virtual reality would become affordable within the next two years, it took over two decades for devices like the technology I will be focusing on in this essay, the Oculus Rift, to largely solve issues pertaining to its graphics, performance and most importantly, the price is expected to be under 300 USD – a far cry from the 76000 USD price tag for a Virtuality system. This can largely be associated to the exponential increase in processing power as a result of Moore’s law, alongside the development of organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology that vastly improves upon contrast and color...
