Emerging technologies have potential to alter business and social environment. These include IT, Wireless data communication, robotics, and bio-technologies. Drone is best example of emerging IT and wireless data transfer technology. It helps humans in many ways despite fact it has many drawbacks also. Drone technology is a type of emerging technology in which we feed commands in a flying object controlled by wireless controller. It helps us plenty of ways like Policing, delivery, entertainment, surveillance & surveying, agriculture, journalism, arts, firefighting, and nonmilitary security work (Byman, 2013). The reason for using these drones is that they are cheaper and more durable than helicopters due to their mechanical simplicity. Delivery drones are type of drones which is used to send medicines or other necessary stuff at faraway places where presence of human is hazardous for his life for example RQ-7 Shadow is capable of delivering a 20 lb (09.1 kg) “Quick MEDS” canister to front line troops.

...Best Buy On the Brink Background Best Buy and Circuit City were the two major brick and mortar stores where consumers were able to purchase electronics. With the rising technology and E-commerce, Circuit City was not able to adapt to the changing environment and now Best Buy is on the same path as its former competitor. Best Buy had to close down fifty stores and fire over 400 employees due to its poor financial performance. Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn explained that there was no innovation by the company to adapt to the changing market on how consumers were purchasing electronics. Consumers are now price comparing with Best Buy’s products with online retailers. Online competitors of Best Buy are utilizing the new emerging technologies to help make purchasing of products convenient to the consumers. Problem Statement Best Buy is on a slow downward slope towards bankruptcy, if the company does not have any new innovation in the way it sells its products to consumers. Best Buy needs to understand how consumers are purchasing electronics and restructure how its employees are interacting with customers. Amazon is taking advantage of being an online retailer which means that Best Buy has to take advantage of their physical locations. Alternative Solutions One of the strategies Best Buy can implement is to offer a price match guarantee to the customers if they can find a lower price than Best Buy’s products then Best Buy will match the price. This strategy will attract more customers...

...Influences of emerging technology The impact of new and emerging technology on the global scale depends very much on the same factors that influence local acceptance and uptake. There are countries with different levels of industrialisation, technology infrastructure and wealth. Also political cultural and economic forces in present help various technologies succeed in some area and hinders them in others. If there is a rise in acceptance in technology it could create manufacturing opportunities. China with its huge population combined with political and cultural change has become the favoured location for many manufacturing industries. Countries with strong economic growth and population and a good disposable income are very accepting to the rapid uptake of technology. At the moment there is an enormous growth in information and communication fields. This has created a significant social change. (p167) Copy paragraph p168. Emerging technologies often result from an unorthodox combination of existing entities. The focus of these new technologies lies in the areas of: * Group collaboration on tasks * Next generation internet architecture that facilitates smoother communication * Real-world web services It is the norm to have multidisciplinary teams from around the globe working on one project.

...of new tools that were created as the result of some advancement in technology. These new instruments permitted the surgeons of their day to unlock new possibilities and develop new techniques, each more sophisticated than the one before. Due to the sensitive nature of surgery, moral and ethical obligations were established early on and eventually formed the basis of “The Hippocratic Oath”, which is still relevant to the modern surgeon. We are now in a place in history where robots are being used to assist with surgical procedures that were once only conceivably done by human hands. This paper seeks to detail this evolution as well as describe current and future applications of robotics in the surgery and the ethical implications inherit with this technology. This report will also attempt to identify and discuss the complex legal, political, and cultural issues that have also evolved with this science. A review of the literature was undertaken using Medline. Articles describing the history and development of surgical robots were identified as were articles reporting data on applications. This most recent development in surgical advancement has infinite potential but it is also accompanied by same ethical dilemmas that ancient surgeons were faced with. ------------------------------------------------- Robot Assisted Surgery: The Evolution of the Surgeon and the Operating Room The proliferation of robotics in many of today’s industries has had a significant economic and social...

...Robotic Surgery The robotic surgery system market is predominantly run by a surgical system currently known as: Da Vinci; however, the Raven II is another system that is out there and is making an impact on robotic surgery research and studies. There are obvious differences between both systems and their capabilities, but we will investigate further. Additionally, there are a significant number of surgeries that are being performed by the da Vinci surgical robots in hospitals and in regards to research. The Raven II surgical robot is opening doors of opportunity for technological advancement purposes. All this is a driving effort to better improve healthcare services in relations to minimally invasive surgical procedures and to drive the advancement of this technology through industry collaboration. The da Vinci surgical system was originally developed in the former Stanford Research Institute under contract to the U.S. Army; however, the idea of introducing a product for commercial applications was the route taken by Intuitive Surgical in an effort to find different applications for minimally invasive surgical procedures. Every aspect of the da Vinci robotic system is proprietary which includes both the production and assembly of the hardware and software. This closed model approach has allowed Intuitive Surgical to monopolize the surgical robot system market. Results of the success they have had, as of May 2013 they were listed as number eight on the Forbes list for innovative...
