Examples of this are the texting while driving ban in 39 states and the driving while talking on your cell phone, the hands free law, in 10 states. A growing concern now is the possible health effects of cell phone radiation. Though, nothing is conclusive, a few states jumped in and started proposing for bills to be passed. Cell phone unlocking is a hot topic today. Consumers believe that if you purchase your phone, it is yours to do what you wish. Congress didn’t agree and exempted cell phone unlocking from the Digital millennium copyright act. The act actually makes it a federal crime for you to unlock your purchased cell phone without permission from your carrier in which you purchased it from. This makes you have to purchase a new phone everytime you want to switch carriers. Politicians have stepped up an joined new technology. I never would have thought about is, but yes, there is an App for that. In the past election, 80 % of voters used their cell phones to gain details about politics and 8% of voters had an App from a campaing, political party, or interest group related to the campaign.

Technology can be used for all types of things, from science applications to mechanical engineering. Changing the way something is done often improves it. This is the heart of technology. Technology has evolved into nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is a “technology executed on the scale of less than 100 nanometers, the goal of which is to control individual atoms and molecules, especially to computer chips and other microscopic devices.” Nanotechnology may one day improve the quality of life, thereby extending the life span of humans, by using “small autonomous robot, or nanobot, that can be sent into the human body to repair cells and cure cancers.” (nanotechnology). It is the continued advancement in nanotechnology that has been used to downsize the combative drones that we associate...

...Cellular Technology and Society Today , Political & Economic ., Health, Psychological & Sociological , Cellular Technology & History , Moral & Sociological DeVry University LAS432 Society, Ethics, and Technology Abstract The following paper will discuss the psychological and sociological impact of cellular technology. Cellular technology has seen rapid growth in technology and in personal use. Texting has now become the dominant means of communication and actual conversation skills are diminishing. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted from cellular devices has become a concern and is being studied from many various angles to determine actual health risks from cell phone use. Whether it is for personal or business use, the cell phone has become a permanent fixture in our lives, could have potential health risks, and can become an addiction if necessary steps are not taken to control use and dependency. Cellular Technology and Society Today At any store they are visible. They have their hand plastered to their ear or they are seemingly talking to no one. These are the cellphone users. Hayley Tsukayama, a writer for the Washington post asserts that according to the Pew Internet and Life Project only seventeen percent of Americans still have a land line and ninety percent own a cellphone. (Tsukayama, 2014) The largest contributor to this trend is convenience. Most cellular devices are small and easily portable, allowing the user to move around freely...
