...Technology has been improved since two hundred years, and since then technology improvements had taken place in different place from brain hubs to workshops or in garages. The article is about how a single idea can inspire many people to create something new, even if some of them work alone or with a team. Although technology improvement is taking place in each different place, who create them from being a lone inventor or as a collaborative team and how their development is improve with feedbacks. People improves technology with new ideas, that can make people's life easier. The article claims that technology have changed since two hundred years, from the time where no internet or wifi to how high-speed internet. It also claims technology has being improved as people are coming up with new ideas, which in return it inspire other people to improve their previous ideas. There are people who worked alone to create different ideas because they think it can help them become more creative, when they are working alone while some people work as a team because they think in can inspire one another. Also as technology is still improving by new ideas, feedbacks are important for the producers and inventors because they can improve their product base on the people who are using it with them....

...Professor Elahi English 201 16 July 2013 Technology: Beneficial or Harmful? Throughout the vast history of humanity, humans have always used their innovative and cognitive skills to create tools to better improve their chances at survival on this planet. This technology advancement first began in the Stone Age when man fist discovered that stone could be utilized as both a harvesting tool and hunting weapon; which gradually developed into spears, bows and arrows, and swords. And as time pressed on, one of the most important and influential inventions since the beginning of time was designed in the shape of a circle: the wheel. However, unlike in earlier times, the evolution of technology in the past 60 years has been growing so rapidly that society has scarcely been able to keep up with it on a global scale. And due to this accelerated development of technology, accurate assessment and critical reflection on our dependency of these new technologies has been greatly hindered. So if one were to consider all the consequences and results of today’s technology objectively, could our dependency on modern day technology be viewed as positive or negative outcome? Both sides of this argument have solid, valid claims, but do the pros outweigh the cons or are the benefits of technology not worth the potential harm it can cause to our society. As the advancement of technology drastically rises, society’s dependency for these technologies also rises, however, this correlation can...

...Vacuous Our nation changes and improves every year, and one of the many improvements that continues to evolve is computer technology. It becomes more prominent and is changing the generations of teenagers and adults as it continues to become more popular. Many can argue that computer technology is good or bad for our minds. Nicholas Carr has shared his view that technology is making our minds vapid. He states at the end of his article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”, “as we come to rely on computers to mediate our understanding of the world, it is our own intelligence that flattens into artificial intelligence” (345). However along with all the advancements that can help our nation there are also a few technologies such as social media and gaming that does not exactly help improve our generation. Technology may be improving to be fulfilling the wants of people, however our nation needs a generation that does not spend their entire life on the internet. Therefore, social media or gaming is a drawback to computer technology because it begins to prevent people from using their full ability of brain power which will soon prevent from furthering technology in our world to better the nation. The internet and social media have benefited people by improving the knowledge that people have. Many great advances can come out of technology, because just thirty years ago our nation did not even know about the internet. However nowadays, it is used on a daily basis to help feed our knowledge...

...that may be used to guide us to create elegant, sustainable, and innovative designs for human technologies (Benyus 1997). The field of biomimicry analyzes nature‟s best ideas and adapts them for human use (Benyus 1997). The built environment could benefit from the integration of a discipline such as biomimicry into the design process. In 1997, Janine Benyus published a revolutionary book called Biomimicry. The word Biomimicry is derived from two Greek words: bios which means life, and mimesis which means to imitate. In her treatise, Benyus describes “a new science that studies nature‟s models and then imitates or takes inspiration from these designs and processes to solve human problems, e.g. a solar cell inspired by a leaf.” (Benyus, 1997). t is said that the need is the mother of invention . People have been inventing whole of their lives to accommodate their requirements. This paper will discuss how men approached to some of their development and what roles did nature and some of its designs play to inspire inventors. The paper will go farther than this to look up at a new scientific method that imitate natural superior system to improve humans' life. It will concentrate mainly on the advancements of communication systems due to researches on this science which is called Biomimetics. Finally it will try to identify any existing similar natural and human-made structures and see how efficient are both of them compared to the other one. See all 5 photos Bat's Sonar Boeing...

...employees will be permanently available for consultation or discussion, even when the employee is on vacation. When cell phones were first introduced, there was a lot of discussion about cell phone etiquette, but these days, most people seem to ignore that advice. People talk loudly on their phone in public spaces, and they take phone calls while in the middle of conversations with others. People answer their phones in movie theaters and conference presentations. Cell phones are a wonderful technology that adds to safety and the feeling of connectedness. They have become essential for business and personal use. Also, technology has helped improve productivity at work by allowing manufacturers to produce more in less time using less manpower. Many simple tasks that workers used to do are now done by robots. For example, the robotic arm seen on a modern garbage truck enables the trash collection process to be done by one man. Although it may sound like a good thing, it has disadvantages too. Technology creates unemployment because of the fact that machines are cheaper to maintain than...

...Genetic engineering helps us evolve our world with fast transitions in science and technology, however, do we really need to develop technology rapidly? Throughout centuries, our society has beaten many summons from deadly plagues to global wars. Because of that, it has showed us who we are as individuals and as a race. If we start modifying ourselves and our world, we could fail at noticing the true meaning of life. We can’t skim our way in or out of things, we must develop naturally. As a human race, we go through things to learn how to stick together and prove deserving as a society. The challenges we face have a purpose and define who we are. Genetically engineering children makes us less human and more like a scientist or researcher doing an experiment. Doing these kinds of procedures can negatively impact future generations. However, there is an exception to genetically modifying children for health reasons like diseases and conditions. But changing your child for physical reasons or creating superior abilities is morally wrong. Parents should be pleased of what they produced and learn what individuality is and teach that to future generations. We cannot take advantage of what science can do, it must be utilized to save and upgrade our lives. Genetic engineering is considerable for people who are...

...today’s technology have on our society? The youth of today are constantly immersed in technological advancements that promote nonstop communication and instant gratification, whether through cell phones, gaming systems, laptops, or MP3 players. But most people are asking, are these technological advancements a good thing? Some people believe that the growth of technology has negatively influenced the social interactions of today's youth because it isolates individuals from reality, hinders communication, and perpetuates the concept of immediate satisfaction. As Clay Shirky states in his article, “Cognitive Surplus”, given that there are around 4.5 billion adults worldwide, "we live, for the first time in history, in a world where being part of a globally interconnected group is the normal case for most citizens." There are positive and negative influences with everything, no matter what the topic. But to have a positive impact, it’s how you choose to use the power of today’s technology and how much influence you let it have on your everyday life. Some of the negative influences that the constant use of technology has is it can hinder us from being in the moment, communicating and listening to the people around us, and how teens today constantly rely on their cell phones and the internet. As Maggie Jackson states in her article, “What Are We Thinking?”, “We’re too often sacrificing depth for breadth in the ways we make sense of the world.” We are so constantly in tune to our cell...

...time with respect to our parents’ generation. Some changes have made men succeed more than their parents but some have made them careless of what goes around in the world surrounding them. Men have become more self-obsessed and disrespectful of their parents. On the other hand, the determination to achieve remains the same for all men. The behavior of present men as compared to their parents’ generation has changed a lot in terms of attitude and habits, but their drive to succeed remains the same. Back in the old days, men used to only think about their families, friends and parents. Men of this present generation have become more self-conscious than their older generation. They tend to think about themselves more and more as time passes. Men nowadays care too much about how they look, how they dress, how they talk and even how they eat, whereas all this was uncommon in the older generation. Men have started to care more about the cars they drive, the watches they wear and the perfumes they put on; all of these situations do put the modernized man in much troubles such as credit debts etc. Self-obsession, by itself is not a major change in men, it is those other factors too that change the behavior of men overall. The older generation lived a much simpler and happier life back then unlike the men of the robotic age. Nowadays men have unhealthy habits such as eating junk food, wasting of time in front of the television and the addiction to the technology. Present men eat too...

...Jared Cohen gives us their vision of how technology will impact and reshape our lives in the future; a world of fully connectivity where every individual will be a part of the whole virtual world through the critical development of technology. Schmidt and Cohen’s argument is that the rapid improvement of computer technology with internet access will significantly connect and transfer every aspect of life from the physical world to the new virtual one, whether it is for the better, for the worse, or just different. The book also addresses the way humans interact with, apply, and explore technology in life and the guidance for humans to adapt the changes in the new technological revolution. The two authors start by introducing a variety of new technologies which are created and used to increase our efficiency such as smart devices, “additive manufacturing” _ 3-D printing, artificial intelligence, voice and gesture recognition, and robotics. These new technologies provide new opportunities for not only business but also many other fields including: education, healthcare, and entertainment. They indicate that the global trend will be supported strongly as connectivity spreads become power in the future, and an effective working environment will be created when the new technology’s invention removes language and geographical barriers. Technology innovation will also affect our traditional routines and improve the quality of our future life. The optimistic view is that one day...

...Today's society is different to the one that existed not so many years ago. Our society is constantly changing. The most important characteristics of our era may be the transformation, transmission and dominion of information. We live in an information society where the leading role has been given to new technologies, especially those devoted to information. Our society could not be imagined without new technologies and their role both in this society and in human life in general. With advances in technology, student study habits have dramatically changed. It's affected the way classes are taught, students learn theories and the way information is presented. Gone are the days of slaving over books in the library and scribbling down notes on paper. Modern technology has rapidly changed our world. It improves the length and quality of life. Although modern technology brings an enormous number of benefits for mankind, it causes many harmful effects as well. Modern technologies are very powerful because they rely on one of the most powerful genetic biases we do have — the preference for visually presented information. The human brain has a tremendous bias for visually presented information. Television, movies, videos, and most computer programs are very visually oriented and therefore attract and maintain the attention of young children. The problem with this is that many of the modern technologies are very passive. Because of this they do not provide children with the quality...
