...Technology has changed the way we as humans live; it changes our understanding of the way things work and changes the way we interact with one another. Technology was once opposed but is now somewhat welcomed into our homes. During the renaissance period, technology was opposed, as the church believed that technology would oppose the beliefs of god. Well they were right. Technology isn’t just computers or TV’s, its engineering science. And in Science, our goal is to progress and understand everything there is to understand about us, our planet and beyond. However, the way we understand and experience this concept the most is that its just to make our lives much more efficient. When you look around, what do you see? Just at an intersection in downtown New York or Los Angeles, you see people walking around with cell phones and carrying around laptop cases, other’s just listening to music. But then the companies that build these types of technology want to make them better and more efficient. So they keep releasing new devices that are smaller and faster and mostly more costly. Technology is a concept that will never end. new devices will be released and then refined just about endlessly. Not even if or when we start running out of resources, because we would have recycled parts to build new technology and we will build new technology to possibly refine available resources or even find another planet that has the same resources. Technology now is a concept that we cannot survive...

...Lotanna Eruchalu Michael Myller College Writing 1 22 April 2016 TECHNOLOGY IN FOOTBALL Football is a game that has been in existence officially since 1863. Back then, the fields were always in a terrible state, muddy with little or no grass. The players were probably dressed in the cheapest pieces of fabric. The only decent thing was the fact that the ball was always pumped right. Now imagine all the new, various forms of technology that has come about since 1863: computers, smart phones, smart watches, televisions, vehicles etc., it is only right that Football has a fair share of the technological advancements. From muddy fields to constantly trimming the grass before games, Astro Turf fields are the future. They don’t just save you the stress of refilling the worn out areas and constant mowing the grass, they enhance the performance of the players. Also suitable for any weather, the astro turf fields are made of plastic blades of grass that are filled with small, crumbly rubber like shavings with gives players a better grip. Another positive about this piece of technology is that it prevents unwarranted injuries that can come from unlevelled grounds or a field consisting of many holes. Moreover, technology has played a key role with the equipment used for the game. Firstly, the advancement of shin pads; they don’t just guard the shin anymore, they are now being mad with shock absorbers, reducing the impact of a tackle on that area. The shin is a very delicate part of...

...Digital Citizenship in K-12: It Takes a Village Randy Hollandsworth, Lena Dowdy, and Judy Donovan Students will require awareness that online behaviors can impact people within their immediate circle of friends but also outside of that circle. Abstract Digital citizenship encompasses a wide range of behaviors with varying degrees of risk and possible negative consequences. Lack of digital citizenship awareness and education can, and has, led to problematic, even dangerous student conduct. If our educational village does not address these issues, the digital culture establishes its own direction, potentially pushing a productive, long-term solution further out of reach. By tapping into the experience of various practitioners and experts in the field this article provides the reader with a number of suggestions that can help the professional to help their students become better digital citizens. Keywords: Digital Citizenship, School Library Media A ccording to Wikipedia (2010), the Nigerian Igbo proverb, “Ora na azu nwa”, translates as “it takes a village to raise a child” (Proverb Question section, para. 6). Whether this popular phrase derives from international cultures or from one’s own experiences in life, it provides a framework for our schools and society to meet a cultural shift in a global society. Creating awareness and enhancing digital citizenship in our society could best be assessed as having reached a pivotal point. Weigel, James...

...Cadangan untuk persediaan usang Salah satu produk asli Star adalah komputer ST-100. Meskipun keadaan komputer yang ketika pertama kali dipasarkan pada tahun 1982, pada tahun 1989 ST-100 sudah ketinggalan zaman. Selama 1989, Star menambahkan $3. 5 juta sebagai cadangan untuk persediaan usang, yang merupakan sisa persediaan dari ST- 100s, mengurangi nilai persediaannya sampai pada nilai bukunya yaitu $2 juta. Argy dan anggota lain dari perikatan tim Star percaya bahwa persediaan ST- 100 masih dinilai terlalu tinggi. Argy merekomendasikan untuk menganggap turunnya tambahan $1. 5 juta untuk persediaan itu. Star manajemen menolak saran Argy untuk menulis persediaan ST- 100 turun dari nilai buku menjadi $500, 000. klien eksekutif membujuk Childers bahwa perusahaan akan menjual ST- 100s di masa depan meskipun tidak memiliki pesanan untuk produk tersebut dan walaupun hanya memiliki satu penjualan ST- 100 selama 1989. Star manajemen juga disediakan oleh Childers dengan daftar $1 juta untuk suku cadang termasuk dalam persediaan ST- 100 yang diduga akan diperlukan oleh Star untuk Pelayanan perbaikan ST- 100s yang telah dijual sebelumnya. Childers menerima $1 juta untuk suku cadang dengan persyaratan pada nilai nominal dan gagal untuk melaksanakan prosedur apapun atau membuat pertanyaan tambahan untuk mendukung nilai.

Cell phones are affecting people’s life. “Extraversion may have a significant relationship to mobile phone usage behavior. Specifically, extroverted people spend more time calling and send multiple text messages” (Hong 2153). In the other word, extroverted people will spend more time on their phone, rather than communicate face to face with other people. Sometimes, the social anxiety also influences people’s communication. “People with higher social anxiety scores tend to not overuse mobile phones in voice-calling (Whiteside & Lynam 669-689); rather they spend more time in indirect communication through text messaging with others” (Bianchi & Phillips 39-51; Billieux et al., 1195-1210; Butt & Phillips 346-360). In the other words, people who have social anxiety are more likely to text messaging with others, they even do not calling with other people...

...More is not better In the article “It cost more but is it worth more” Ezekiel J. Emanuel and Steven D. Pearson is against the idea about the investment towards new proton beam treatment. The new technology will cost more than $180 million just to build a facility to use the proton beam machines. Emanuel and Pearson argue in favor of Americans because they do not believe that Americans taxpayers should pay the excessive amount of money towards proton beam machines that lack evidence of curing cancer more effectively. The issue that arises about the topic is that there are cheaper alternatives of radiation, that cancer patients can receive for fraction of the price of proton beam therapy which can cost $50,000 a treatment. During these hard economic times it is unreasonable to follow through with the outrageous sum of money it requires and yet it does not have any significant scientific evidence it can cure cancer. Therefore the money going towards the proton beam technology is better used elsewhere. Instead of spending the outrageous sum of money on the two new proton beam treatment facilities at the Mayo Clinic which are located in Minnesota and Arizona because it will cost more than $180 million dollars each. The claim that the authors wanted to make to the public is that the proton beam technology should not be invested in because of its high risk and low reward . The benefit cost analysis of having proton beam technology compare to not having...

...Future interrogation and interviewing Technologies For centuries man has always tried to find ways to communicate more efficiently, when it came down to preventing crimes, investigating crimes and solving crimes. Therefore the study of future technology and methods has sparked the interest of scientist and developers to create a systems or method that would prove to be just as accurate as our DNA system is today. Their goal is to utilize this technology within an interview or interrogation setting. When it comes to detecting if someone is tell the truth, scientist are working on new technology that promises to be more accurate for lie detection. If these new technologies prove to be successful, not a violation of the suspect’s constitutional rights and the results become admissible in the court of law. This would then become a major breakthrough for investigators; when interviewing a suspect in an interrogation room. When speaking to witness officers so often relay on line up and photo’s (Mug spots) which are stored within in their computer data base. Scientists are also working on ways to present witness the virtual evidence, tele-presents of the suspect by means of Holograms. Holograms are used today but may be used in the future during interrogation and interview rooms. Holograms would actually be put in place of the actual interrogator or interviewer. The benefit of this technology is using an image of the victim with hopes of scaring a confession from the criminal...
