Information systems influence business processes, organizational structures, and the ways people do business, work, and communicate. Emerging technologies have triggered new forms of organization and business process innovation; they have also impacted organizational structure, culture, politics, decision making, and society as a whole. IT is transforming how physical products are designed, how services are bundled with products, and how individuals interact with businesses and with other individuals. A silent transformation is occurring as more and more physical products use embedded IT to improve customer experience and product performance.

...A Tale of Two Cities is a book that should be read at some point in time during a teenager’s high school years. Personal and political dramas are deeply connected in Dickens’s award-winning novel. Additionally, A Tale of Two Cities can get complicated at times as a result of background information regarding the feudal system, the French monarchy, and parts of the French Revolution. From the accentuated language and a (somewhat) lovable main character in Sydney Carton, this story will best be appreciated by a mature reader. Although it cannot be classified as a “quick read,” the level of detail and historical references are meant to make the reader think and reflect upon what is truly going on. By physically placing oneself in the book, the reader is able to escape to another world and actually see the actions of the characters happening before...

...Chapter 1 The author sets up the book immediately with an almost hopeless scene. The author describes the storm as though it were a plague, moving in and weathering the land. The people have to cover their mouths while outside to keep themselves safe. The author sets up the feeling of hopelessness for the farmers and their families. This storm is drying everything out, there will be nothing left, what will they do? At first I wondered who the main characters in this noel would be, but after reading the first chapter I could not find any. I believe that the first chapter is written to symbolize the thousands of people that had to struggle through this storm; the author did not want to narrow the story down to one family or one person right away. The author wanted to show the reader the many people whose fate was also changed. Chapters 2-3 These two chapters introduce the ideas of the working class and the corporations that are beginning to take over. Chapter two introduces us to the main character, Joad. When Joad meets the...

...”Blackbird Pie” by Raymond Carver 1. Sum up the short story The story is about a divorce between the narrator and his wife. His wife leaves him a letter where she tells him, that she can’t live with him anymore. She has to go her own way and figure out things on her own. The narrator doesn’t believe the letter is from his wife because he doesn’t recognize the handwriting. However, it turns out the letter really is from his wife and as he confronts her about it in the front yard the sheriff and a guy named Frank shows up. They are collecting 2 horses, which walked up on the narrator and his wife’s property. When the sheriff and Frank leave, they take the narrators wife with them and leave the narrator alone. 2. The narrator doesn’t believe that the letter he receives is from his wife – why not? Why does the narrator spend so much energy and so many words on trying to convince the reader that the letter is not written by his wife? I think he is in denial. The fact that he doesn’t recognize his wife’s handwriting indicates he doesn’t know his wife anymore. He spend so much energy on trying to deny that the letter is from his wife, because he, in my opinion, knows it’s coming – it inevitable (in-evitable). 3. What does this letter indicate about the couple’s relationship? The letter indicates that there is a lack of communication between man and wife. During the years of marriage the man have become withdrawn – he has withdrawn himself from his marriage. He spends...

...After reading through Genesis 1-11, it become apparent that the natural world was created by the all might God for man to enjoy, and throughout history, mankind has an inclination to stray from God’s plan to follow their own. This straying would inevitably result in man’s depravity and consequences from God himself. From the start of Genesis we see a progression of mankind’s morality drifting further and further from God. Man strays so far down the path of evil that God Himself regrets the world he created (Genesis 6:6-7). Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s first commandment, His creation has been plunged into darkness, and the natural order of the world has been turned upside down. When one reads through the first eleven chapters of...
