...New IT Technologies University of Phoenix CMGT/583 – IS Intergration Instructor: New IT Technologies Technology is constantly changing and evolving which makes it hard for users to keep up. As new developments in technology arise, old ones either stay behind or are incorporated to supplement new ones. This is called convergence. Technological convergence is defined as the combining of two or more different technologies or services to create a new product (). Nowadays, technology convergence has been very successful acting as a stepping stone. Convergence has allowed consumers to enjoy the convenience of incorporating the best features to enjoy a better product. The truth is that technology convergence offers convenience, efficiency and new opportunities to both the consumer and provider (). As consumers, we are constantly looking to buy the latest technological invention or upgrade to the newest technological discovery. It almost seems like a race or competition, consumers are so quick to jump into the newest advance or discovery and often do so without being informed or conducting research. Often, consumers rely on other opinions to help them decide what product they should buy. The Iphone 5 is an excellent example, it’s such a popular item, people are buying it without even testing it out. They don’t know if there are any glitches that need to be fixed. However, consumers are buying...

...People’s pace of life is increasingly fast. Numerous people depend on modern technology for work and entertainment because it is more efficient. For instance, Facebook is the most popular social network website in the world, but use of Facebook is becoming a controversial issue as it has potential hazards that threaten users’ privacy. Facebook is a great innovation since it makes people easily contact friends and families, but when users upload their personal information on profile pages, their privacy may be confirmed by strangers. Nevertheless, some people believe that users’ privacy can be protected with technological tools. Although some technology experts claim that companies can protect users’ personal information, modern technology is an invasion of privacy. Using modern technology allows other people to track users’ movements, so it invades people’s privacy. GPS devices can reveal users’ physical location information to others. Leah Yamshon, the author of “Mobile Apps Can Compromise Your Privacy” suggests that if people use GPS technology without sufficient understanding of the system, their movements may be easily tracked by other people (par. 1). Using GPS devices without controlling data transition processes may let other people easily know users’ location, yet most consumers do not know how to control data transition processes. Dishonest people can also steal users’ location information though smart phone applications. Patrick Leahy, the chairman of Senate Judiciary...

...When we look back to the history of human being in recent 200 years, we will be surprising what a huge change modern technology has brought us. Trains and planes enable us to travel to everywhere we want. Internet and televisions communicate news to everyone. New technologies provide us a new standard of living, and I state that they are creating a single world culture. Modern technology has shortened the distance between cultures, and made the world smaller. People can travel or migrate from one place to another very quickly. They see how people in other zones dress, speak and behave. The more exposure to other traditions and customs they do, the more likely they adopt to those. As a result, their own traditions and customs are replaced by a massive one. Another reason for the impact of modern technology on creating a similar world is that it makes possible for cultures to communicate with each other. When watching TV programmes, searching web and chatting through the Internet, people learn about foreign cultures and try to make some of those their own. The exchange of knowledge has had a great impact on their lives. The café from Brazil, the scotch from Scotland, the cigars from Cuba, the wine from France, the American music, that appear and become well-known in many parts of the world are good examples of how modern technology influences people’s life and also creates a single world culture. With the rapid development of modern technology, people learn and come to...

...Integrating technology into the classroom is not as simple as task as it might sound. It involves more than just inserting a computer into the classroom, and asking the class to research a topic. While this very well might be a task asked of the student; the teacher has far more to consider. Classroom integration involves such thing as the network environment, hardware and software and software tools, and how these things are used to benefit the lesson plan. Technology that is just thrown into the mix without a purpose and desired outcome can be counterproductive. This planning and understanding of the uses of technology in the classroom is what will be one of the biggest challenges in creating the best learning environment for my students. ENVIROMENT Technology integration begins with the hardware. Computers, projectors, laptops, tablets, whiteboards and other devices give me the tools I need to fold technology into the classroom. One of the biggest questions in this aspect is “How do I get information to the devices?”. This involves setting up a network to deliver information and the internet to the students. There are several ways to accomplish this with one using a hard wired network, and the other using a wireless network. Each has their own pros and cons that must be weighed. The hardwired network while offering a more stable environment also ties computers and peripherals to certain locations, and the required wires could become a tripping hazard. On the other hand a...

...Health is critical component of everyday life that should be taken into consideration when looking at the world’s population. With the dawn on the digital revolution, health care practices/methods have been forced to take on a new look, one that is in line with technology to better reach the global society. Even though this poses concerns for developed, developing and less developed countries. Moreover, developed and developing countries they are faced with what is equitable between health and healthcare while less developed countries, they are faced with little to no electricity which results in poor lighting and inadequate communication and are forced to treat patients without past medical records. The problem stems from “a lack of coherence in global health governance, which leads to the impossibility of effective representation throughout the globe.” (Zalzala et al. 629-632) This is a major problem when dealing with the global society as health for on a global scale cannot be addressed from the perspective of one nation, it needs to come from several nations working together to achieve a set goal. Because problems in one nation might severely differ from the other due to climate, culture and the nature of the people who live in that specific nation. Currently, there is not standing plan or strategic vision to combat this global health crisis and no one person is capable but a select few really care about the global society. For example: Doctors Without Borders, an organization...

...Learning Task 1 Computer shops are pervasive around the schools, but these are mainly used for playing games. Without judging on the possibly dehumanizing effects of excessive game habit, how can a learner best use computer resources as they may be available in schools or at home? A learner cab best use computer resources by making these resources as their reference in their projects and assignments, it can serve also as a tutor to them, widen their knowledge about the things a learner wants to know. The learner can also be productive in using his imagination- develop his creativity, develop sportsmanship in playing games, being competent and idealistic in his own way with the use of computer technology. The learner can also exercise his willpower in playing games. Making his own decision and facing its consequence. Learning Task 2 Do you think there is enough website for educational websites? From those who have done internet surfing/searching/reading what do the websites offer users? There are more than enough websites for educational learning. As days passed, and will pass, more educational websites are created. More students are indulging in internet surfing, searching and reading. These websites offer everything we need in just one click in the internet. The computer and networks are really helpful. The only danger is that man can be used to and addicted to it, be dependent on the computer’s genius work and man will be manipulated by internet if man do not how...

...means more work to be done by the processor during each clock cycle. To the OS the HT micro-processors appear to be seperate processors, because the HT technology uses two virtual core's for every physical core. A Multi-core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent core's, which usually means two or more CPUs/core's working together on the same chip. Multi-core technolgy adds physical CPUs/core's which are the units that read and execute program instructions, adding multiple core's enables multiple instructions to be executed. The multiple core's improves performance, reduces power consumption, an more efficient simultaneous processing of multiple tasks amenable to parellel computing. Summary: Hyper threading stopped with P4 because there wasn't enough spare capacity in the core for the second thread. Each thread gets less cache to work with, and if they simultaneously need memory or the same resources, switching back and forth between them can cause performance problems. Though HT stopped with P4, the i7 is making use of the technolgy an has also been designed with more capacity. Mulit-core processor technology has all the advantages vs HT technology. The HT technology is not a symmetric multi process, which means theres only one processor that pretends it consists of two. Which doesn't enable it to perform multi-tasking...
