...Technology Impact Paper TEC/401 Human Factors in Technology May 14, 2012 Technology Impact Paper Technology is a fundamental part of our lives; from the largest urban areas to remote populations, we rely on technology to live and work. As our dependence on technology grows, so does our thirst for innovation. As emerging technologies are introduced to the market, users respond with both adulation and acceptance. Although our tech-savvy society eagerly anticipates new technological releases; at times there can be a resistance to innovation. The impact of technology on consumers can be affected by several variables. The method of introduction of the technology to customers, the added value of the technology relative to the technology currently being utilized, the support plan emplaced to address questions and concerns from customers and the importance of new partnerships with technology partners each plays an important role in how technology impacts clients. The method of introduction of new products to customers can be the defining characteristic of a brand; strategically marketed product launches can foster anticipation for new technology. Conversely, radically implemented or poorly released products, (regardless of their value) can be met with opposition. The impact of a poorly introduced product can be greatly affected by the method of introduction. Introduction foul-ups occur when the organization has not clearly defined their respective audience; additional...

Such as cell phones for communication; computers in making documents and other important files; laptops that became the next generation desktops; MP3 players for a much portable and convenient way of listening to music; cars for a much comfortable ride; cameras that is used for capturing the most unforgettable happenings on a person’s life, and many more.

Not like before, you have to go to the library to browse a handful of books in order for you to know what you want; which is a hustle. However, negative effects is always hidden beneath as such; although many will use to emphasize modern technology for many of its advantages and achievements, what many don’t realize is that it has affected and continues to affect the people in a negative way, generally the youth.

Advances in information technology have made it a necessity for Congress to create acts that protect people’s privacy and rights. Technology has made it possible for people to steal other’s identity easily, terrorist attacks, and even threats to our children. With the internet, a person can portray themselves as whoever they want and can pose a threat to children even while they are in school. While children are in school, it has become almost a guarantee that they will use computers for various reasons. One act that Congress implemented was the Children’s Internet Protection Act. The Children’s Internet Protection Act was implemented in 2000 by Congress to regulate children’s use on computers at school. Congress needed to set rules and guidelines that schools must follow in order to gain funding for computers. Some rules were, “The protection measures must block or filter Internet access to pictures that are: (a) obscene; (b) child pornography; or (c) harmful to minors (for computers that are accessed by minors)” (Childrens internet protection, 2012). This was necessary because people are able to put anything and everything online for others to...

...Organizational Philosophies and Technology Paper University Of Phoenix Technology 401 Timothy Alexander September 24, 2012 Organizational Philosophies and Technology Paper With the constant changes in technology, it presents more opportunities and challenges for organizations around the world. Technology has definitely changed the way we do business. The advancement in technology has offered new ideas for businesses to monitor employee progress and standards.. Companies need to implement supreme standards that promote unity, coherence, and co-operation between fundamental organizational proceedings and ethical codes of conduct. They need to utilize accessible technology to allow for the corporation to demonstrate and enforce moral and ethical standards with more ease. Upholding strict standards of ethics is what fosters common belief and practice in other morals such as responsibility, honesty, trust, and equality for all. Organizations are each unique in their operations, and therefore they will need to create a code of conduct best suited to their specific demands. This will allow the employees to have clearer cut guidelines to be able to better evaluate their actions in different scenarios. This is not always fool proof; it can still be taxing at times to enforce even ethical standards that are established. Ethical codes set the foundation for all business proceedings, relations, and revenue. In the company’s ethical code it should establish guidelines for topics...

The Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2000 was designed for public libraries and public schools to apply filter to all computers that will protect children from harmful content found on the internet. Federal funding is given when this condition is met. Initially this act was implemented on public schools first, until the 2003 Supreme Court ruling of United States vs. American Library Association, when they too were added. (Jaeger & Zheng, 2009) The reason for the act in the first place, which was added by Bill Clinton in December of 2000, was due to the growing understanding and use by children. The internet is one of the most widely used sources to review and receive research. This act was designed to protect children from Pornography, explicit adult content and adult language.

...Reflection Paper Technology has been growing so rapidly has become the most important communication tool for business. Even for a non-technology related company like us, technology is utilized in every way in our daily operations. Before taking the class, I just simply use these technologies since they are required to get my jobs done, without giving too much thought about how they are affecting me and my work. But now I can see them from a different perspective. I understand how they work, why we use them, what benefits they bring, how to use them more efficiently, what the potential improvements are, and some of the issues existing in our systems or network. Course Content Throughout the course, we’ve studied every aspect of information technology. First, the detailed introduction, history, and benefits of IT gave me a basic understanding of computers and information technology. Study of internet and communication tools provided me more options for efficient web use and communications. Then we learned about computer hardwares, different parts computers consist of, and also input and output hardwares. During this section I learned a lot of the terms that I was not familiar with before.

It was very helpful to get more knowledge about database and how to do data mining more efficiently. We then analyzed the challenges of information technology. And finally...

...Technology is essential in modern-day civilization, it is the core of everything, it's what makes us. We depend on technology to survive, calculate, communicate and almost everything you can possibly think of, however, technology is making us lazy. We choose to use technology unnecessarily in situations to do things for us that we could do from the top of our heads, or things we could do by simply just moving. The calculator is a great example of how technology is making us lazy. We tend to use the calculator any day we need to calculate something. The calculator is very useful it's a necessary tool in schools, banks, stores and pretty much anything that has to do with numbers. But now we use it to do simple math like 9x6 or 7x8, this is lazy and unnecessary. The problem with this is that the more we use the calculator the more we are going to depend on it, making simple math like multiplication an almost unsolvable problem for our brains,so when there are no calculators around you when you need one, you find yourself frustrated because the fact that you tried to get something so simple swiftly annoys you....

...Information Technology Act per * Electronic communications Privacy Act (ECPA) * Electronic communications Privacy Act (ECPA) of 1986 is a federal law which gives the government a certain amount of standard in which they can monitor citizens using phone or internet connections. The Act had to be created for business or individuals privacy protection. In 1967 Supreme court ruled that tapping telephone conversation were illegal and will not be credible in court unless the government had obtained a warrant from a judge, and also followed the standard procedures. The fourth Amendment of the constitution which protected telephone conversation only applied to voice communication over a wire or face to face. In 1980’s, as technology began to evolve business began to offer other way of communication by transferring data without voice. Emails became popular and easier for businesses but it wasn’t protected or included on the Privacy protection law. * Development of technology went into a halt because ruling from court stating data communication and wireless were not private. ECPA was adopted by the congress clarifying that government agents must obtain a signed warrant by a judge before breaking the privacy law. As technology began to develop daily for corporate, small business or individuals, it became necessary ECPA Act. Electronic Communication Privacy Act (ECPA) of 1986 provided important privacy protection of any internet and wireless service. Over decades since...

...in many ways to the way of life today as we know it. Upon completion of this paper, I will have identified eight to ten useful inventions or contributions that are used in the world today. Some of these inventions include the compass, gunpowder, row planting, deep drilling, and toilet paper and so on. Within those eight to ten inventions, I will choose four that I believe are the most innovative. Row Planting (Feudal period – 6th Cent BC) The Chinese started planting crops in rows sometime in the 6th century BC. This allows the crops to grow stronger and faster. It facilitates more planting, weeding, harvesting and watering. There is also documentation that they realize that as wind travels over the rows of plants there is less damage. This obvious development was not instituted in the western world for another 2200 years. (Steven H 2009) Compass (Feudal period – 4th Cent BC) The Chinese developed a lodestone compass to indicate direction sometime in the 4th century BC. These compasses were south pointing and primarily used on land as divination tools and direct finders. Written in the 4th century BC, in the Book of the Devil Valley Master it is written: “lodestone makes iron come or attracts it”. The spoons were made of lodestone, while the plates were of bronze. Thermo-remanence needles were being produced for mariners by the year 1040, with common use recorded by 1119. Thermo-remanence technology, still used today was discovered by William Gilbert in about 1600. (Steven...
