...Cell Phone Should Be Allowed in Class If you visit most American colleges these days, what will you see? Cell phones. Almost all American students have cell phones and they always use them in class. Should cell phones be allowed in class? Cell phones should be allowed in class because students’ family might call with an emergency and cell phones can provide a convenient way to study in class. The first reason is students’ family might call with an emergency. According to the newspaper The New York Times, “Parents think of cell phones as a connection to their children in an emergency. If cell phones are not allowed in class, parents only can call the school's main office to reach their children” (Scaccia). In other words, cell phones should be allowed in class as if there is any emergency case that parents can easily inform their children. And it also helps after school time, so if children have any transport problem they can inform their parents. Other than this, if they have to stay at school after the school time is over for any type of anticipation, they can inform their parents. Students should have the right to bring a cell phone to school because it is really convenient for emergencies. To summarize, cell phones can help students contact with their parents in an emergency. The second reason is cell phones can provide a convenient way to study in class. According to the news website Time, “74% of those students say they would likely use their phones to check grades...

...Case study 1 Paul has just been hired as a management analyst at Digital Cell Phone, Inc. Digital Cell manufactures a broad line of phones for the consumer market. Paul’s boss, the chief operations officer says he has a special assignment for Paul: “We’ve always just made an educated guess about how many phones we need to make each month. Usually we just look at how many we sold last month and plan to produce about the same number. This sometimes works fine. But most months we either have too many phones in inventory or are out of stock. Neither situation is good. Here are our actual orders entered for the past 36 months. There are 144 phones per case. I was hoping that since you graduated recently from Webster University, you might have studied some techniques that would help us plan better. I’d like you to analyze these data and give me an idea of what our business will look like over the next 6 to 12 month. Do you think you can handle this?” “Of course, “ Paul replies, sounding more confident than he really is. “How much time do I have?” “I need your report on Monday evening. Please explain things carefully so that I can understand your recommendation without having to ask you any more questions. Since you are new to the company, you should know that I like to see all the details and complete justification for recommendations from my staff.” With that, Paul was dismissed. Arriving back to him office, he began his analysis. Month Orders received by month Cases 2011...

...Cell Phones and Cancer In today's innovative era of technological breakthroughs, we enjoy many benefits of technology, which give us the power to get things done faster, enjoy greater convenience, and have access to wonderful tools that improve all areas of life (Siepmann, 2004). However, there are many concerns that we are paying a price for these benefits-perhaps in the form of cancer. Major concerns arise from the fact that we are increasingly exposed to logarithmically increasing non-ionizing radiation from wireless systems, cell phones, satellite transmissions, electricity transmission, and other products. This paper aims to present a solid argument that cell phones, in particular, may be a cause of cancer. Researchers suggest that high power electrical distribution lines may increase the incidence of certain cancers (Siepmann, 2004). According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) (1990): “In conclusion, the several studies showing leukemia, lymphoma and cancer of the nervous system in children exposed to magnetic fields from residential 60 Hz electrical power distribution systems, supported by similar findings in adults in several occupational studies also involving electrical power frequency exposures, show a consistent pattern of response that suggests, but does not prove, a causal link. Frequency components higher than 60 Hz cannot be ruled out as contributing factors. Evidence from a large number of biological test systems shows that these fields induce...

One will look into more specific areas where ethics and computers intertwine, using cell phones to track pedestrians and home monitoring for the elderly. The other will hit on the risk and rewards of cloud computing and the ethics behind law firms and their move into the 21st century. Ethics surrounding computer technology are currently an ever evolving conversation. As technology advance so must the ethics and rules of how we handle our personal information and how others can and cannot used that information. With this evolution in technology there are many topics of concern that raise red flags and force people to reevaluate what needs to change in order to make sure that the very principals we hold as a country are not bent to meet the demands of changing technologies. Concerns over personal and private data who can see what and at what point is personal data no longer private. Identity theft is another issue as people become more and more willing to use computers to bank and pay bills they are more at risk of another person electronically stealing their information. Ethics surrounding information processing, the information being inputted into database about you may be incorrect and if so, it can have very serious financial or medical ramifications.

...Privacy and Culture: Comparative study of privacy issues with respect to mobile technology in India and America Sreeranjani K Pattabiraman Abstract The past decade has witnessed a huge shift in the development of mobile technology which has led to privacy issues, murmurings of which started surfacing only in recent years. A lot of research has been carried out by academicians on mobile technology and its impact on society. There have also been comparative studies on how privacy has changed for people over the years with the boom of social networking sites and smart phones. But, there has not been a substantial study or analysis conducted on how people's privacy has been directly affected by the ever-increasing population boom of mobile-phone users. This comparative study analyzes the concept of privacy with respect to mobile surveillance and draws upon prior work in the field of mobile surveillance, ranging from popular press on government surveillance in India and USA and case studies in these two countries related to people’s view on privacy, to the works of ACLU (American Civil Liberty Union) in USA and Stop CMS (Central Monitoring System) in India. The study is built around the analysis and comparison of the issue of mobile surveillance in both the countries, how people dealt with this, and the role of culture in determining people’s view on privacy. It also proposes suggestions for how future research can be carried out in the field of mobile surveillance. Keywords ...

Social change happens when there is a change in society. It seems that there everyone including small children have either a computer or a cell phone and access to the internet. The advancements in technology have paved the way to social changes throughout the United States. Where would we be without cell phones, internet, the automobile, or electricity? Social changes happened with the implementation of this technology advancements. In the last 20 years there have been many technological changes. Personal computers are faster and more compact. Cell phones give their user Internet access just about anywhere you can access the cellular network. As a nation we have become almost chained to our cell phones and computers. A relatively new form of social media, crowdsourcing is when a services are needed and the ideas or information is spread to a large group of people. For instance, Kickstarter is a web-based company that helps to raise large amounts of money in a short period of time. Another use of the Internet and crowdsourcing happened in January 2010 when an earthquake devastated Haiti. Relief groups were able to take advantage of crowdsourcing efforts to get the medical aid, food, shelter, and rescue help that was needed (Introduction to Sociology, 2015, p. 493). Without the advancements that have been...

...Apple Computer, Inc.: Maintaining the Music Business while Introducing iPhone and Apple TV Overview/Introduction Through an analysis of the case study of Apple, Inc. this paper will describe key elements that helped make Apple the successful company it is today. The analysis of the three key environments of a business will be examined, including; general, industry, and competitor environments. Also explored will be the available lessons that readers and other companies can garner from Apple’s success. Apple’s Success Story Apple’s success rests squarely on the shoulders of innovation. In the beginning, the founders of Apple, Stephen Wozniak and Steve Jobs focused on providing something new to the market. They not only brought innovative products to consumers like the Mac computer and iPod, they did it in an innovative manner. Memorable advertising campaigns based on consumer reaction rather than technological jargon made the beginnings of a cult-like following. Apple lost its way in the mid to late eighties as it struggled to find its focus and protect its core competencies, resources, and capabilities. Steve Jobs returned to the company after a decade removed, recognized the speed with which technology moves and took steps to insure that Apple, Inc. was strategically focused to be the leader in new technology. The key to Apple’s success is their mission to make the Mac “the hub of the consumers’ digital lifestyle” (Ireland, 2009, p. C-16). From this point...
