Innovation is basically taking a product and it growing to meet the standards of the consumer. The product is growing and changing. If one were to look at that product they would see that it may have a higher speed for browsing or in some other area be faster, the design may be sleeker than it previously was, or it may hold more capabilities. All the changes are coming more quickly and it can be difficult to keep up, especially with budgeting. A company only budgets so much money for advertising and if the products are rolling out more quickly yet the budget has not grown then there will be no way to advertise as much as needed.

...Growing Internet Use in China Reflects Changing Society Internet Use Explodes in China Internet use in China is exploding. According to Kai-Fu Lee, President of Google, China, the growth of the Internet is 40 to 50 percent in the last two years. Today, the number of Chinese using the Internet is greater than the number of Internet users in the United States, and Kai-Fu Lee anticipates that by the end of the year, about a quarter of China’s 1.3 billion people will be online. However, Chinese Internet users tend to be much younger than their American counterparts. In China, the average user is 25 years old as compared to 45 years old in the United States. Some experts anticipated that greater access to information could prompt the Chinese to question their government, but the growing Internet usage seems to have done just the opposite. Many Chinese are now questioning what they perceive to be mistakes and representations by the Western press about events in China. After reports by the Western press about events in Tibet and the Olympic torch relay protests for example, many Chinese were angry and felt that their government was being unfairly criticized. Some actually used the Internet to coordinate anti-Western, pro-China demonstrations. Most Chinese people appear to believe that the market reforms implemented in China have been very successful. They see their economy getting stronger, and more opportunities. Melinda Yu, president of the Foreign Correspondents...

...factors that have aided this transformation. They include: • The expansion of new markets – foreign exchange and capital markets are linked globally. They operate 24 hours a day with dealings any where in the world possible in real time. Financial deregulation and the floating of the Australian dollar since 1983 intensified the impact of globalisation on the Australian economy. • New technology and the tools of globalisation – the internet, email, mobile phones, media and communication networks have all sped up the process of globalisation. They have increased the spread and speed of knowledge transfer and communication. Australian consumers can buy products from any nation in the world, transfer funds between accounts or purchase shares in any major market. Australian businesses can market their products at a fraction of the cost and be exposed to a global market place of competition. This potentially is the closest we will ever come to the perfect market. • New institutional players – The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has growing authority over national governments, as does the IMF with its restrictions and controls it can impose on nations requiring assistance. Multinational corporations have more economic power than many nations. Hedge funds and financial dealers are able to manipulate financial flows and subsequently exchange rates, leaving nations helpless in their wake. This in turn renders traditional economic policy...

...Growing Up Online Michelle Krueger I agree with regards to the video Growing up on line produced and directed by Rachel Dretzin. This video discuss the advantages and disadvantages of children’s having open access to internet and the problems it has caused at home, school, social media as well as ing. Whilst everyone is entitle to their opinions, I feel strongly agree with the negative consequences. I would therefore like to explain in more details the arguments about this video. As I mentioned before, the open access to internet for children’s has brought some negative consequences. First, at home we see how children’s lock their selves in the room to use the computer and most of the times when parents walk into the room they want to change their screen or hide what there are doing. The reason behind this is because they had found a different world where they can be and act in a way that they wouldn’t in front of their parents and their friends. They find people who they can’t talk to about eating disorders, sex preferences, family problems, among other topics without been judge. They also feel more free and outgoing on the internet. This are negative reactions and consequences because we should be able to talk to our parents or someone close to us every time that we need to. We will get better advice from someone that is part of our life’s and care for us rather than form a stranger. Second, internet...
