...Healthcare Industry Paper HCS/449 November 9, 2015 Hello, how is everyone this evening? My name is and I was picked to come here to be a guest speaker to discuss the healthcare industry’s evolution from the past, now, and what is left to come. I will discuss what healthcare industry is, the evolution of technology, financial, and the economic perspective from the past, present, and what we can expect in the future. What is healthcare industry? The healthcare industry is a set of comprises of providing diagnostic, preventive, remedial, and therapeutic services (like physician, nurses, hospitals, etc.). And to include medical equipment, health insurance forums, and pharmaceutical manufactures. The Past Since 2005, the healthcare industry has created to where patients are able to get to their records easier and faster through an electronic health record (EHR). Not only do patients get their medical information faster, but so do physicians, nurses, and medical facilities. In 2009, only sixteen percent of United States hospitals had EHRs and by 2013, it jumped up to eighty percent of all United States’ hospitals invested in EHRs (Jayanthi, 2014). This allowed a more structured platform, a more integrated and efficient care for patients. EHRs can be used as a data and population health tool for the future. If a patient is required to wear a cardiac monitor their heart beats, then they will have a sensor or wearable technology...

...History and Development of the Internet The origin of the Internet can be traced to the launch of the first artificial earth satellite. In 1957, the USSR, successfully launched Sputnik, and the United States of America responded with ARPA. The Advanced Research Projects Agency was started by the Department of Defense to establish US supremacy in science and technology applicable to the military. And it was within ARPA that the seed for today's Internet was sowed. The Internet, broadly described as having a world-wide broadcasting capability, being a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without regard for geographic location, has its origins in packet-switching technology. In 1961, Leonard Klienrock presented the first paper on packet-switching. The concept of being able to transfer data in packets is the very core of the Internet. During the early sixties, J.C.R. Licklider and W. Clark talked about a "Galactic Network" concept. Licklider envisioned a globally interconnected set of computers through which everyone could quickly access data and programs from any site. Much like what the Internet is today. Around 1962, in a US Governmental agency RAND, Paul Baran was given the task of creating a super resilient network, which would allow the US army to communicate, and retain control over its missiles and bombers, in the event of a nuclear attack. His final proposal was a packet-switched...

All remaining errors are ours. * Abandoning Innovation in Emerging Industries Abstract Existing models of industry evolution describe a smooth pattern of emergence over time in which the number of firms in an industry increases, hits a peak, decreases as a result of a shakeout, and then stabilizes as the industry reaches maturity. Although this model has been well-accepted and the basic empirical finding holds true across a range of industries, we propose that the finding is not as robust as is generally assumed. We introduce an alternative pattern of evolution in which, during the emergent stage, an industry experiences a sharp decrease in the number of firms – a “mini shakeout” – before increasing again, reaching a final peak and undergoing a major shakeout as described in the extant literature...

...Nicholas Petracca WMST 101.01 Individual Research Paper Dr. Gillespie Violent Masculinity: How American Society and Media Glorify Violence in the American Youth By it’s anthropologic definition, masculinity is anything that men think and do. It is anything that men think and do to other men. And lastly, it is the idea that some men are innately, or are acknowledged to be, more macho than other men (Guttman 93). When we consider those in their childhood and adolescence stages, even though they aren’t men, they are nevertheless affected by the constructs of masculinity. In this paper, I intend to show how American Society and popular media combine to construct a masculinity norm that glorifies violence, especially among teens, adolescence, and children. Before we look at how masculinity can lead to violence in our culture, we must first unearth how masculinities are constructed, both by mainstream media and by societal norms. Perhaps the most crucial aspect of masculine and feminine studies is that gender is a perception that is socially constructed (Craig 2). Academics are cautious to separate sex—a purely biological difference—and gender—a label that is used to illustrate the essential qualities that society attributes to members of a particular sex. As a result, masculinity becomes a term that we must explain. It is widely recognized that American society and popular media are responsible for shaping masculinity, so it is only logical to that these...

The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without regard for geographic location. Introduction The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before. The invention of the telegraph, telephone, radio, and computer set the stage for this unprecedented integration of capabilities. The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without regard for geographic location. The Internet represents one of the most successful examples of the benefits of sustained investment and commitment to research and development of information infrastructure. Beginning with the early research in packet switching, the government, industry and academia have been partners in evolving and deploying this exciting new technology. Today, terms like "bleiner@computer.org" and 1 "http://www.acm.org" trip lightly off the tongue of the random person on the street. This is intended to be a brief, necessarily cursory and incomplete history. Much material currently exists about the Internet...

...there.” Muddy operated in a paper factory and afterwards as a driver of a truck by day, playing music by night. In the year 1944, Muddy purchased his initial electric guitar, and after two years, he shaped his original electric combo. Perhaps the standard of R&B artists of Chicago made Muddy Waters feel that he was bound to electrify his sound. “As soon as I went inside the clubs, the initial thing that I required was an amplifier. Could nobody perceive you while having an acoustic?” At least partially out of requirement, Muddy joined his amplifier and electric guitar with the Delta blues, which blasted out the volume, tension, and misperception of the streets of the big city (Edward, 2004 ). By uniting the sounds of the country and the city within a low-down, nitty-gritty, jittery sound, Muddy Waters reproduced the hopefulness of African Americans of the postwar, who had run away from the apparently inevitable cotton fields of the south. The urban music with the additional sullen country blues, which were born in bondage, were seriously distinguished. After having three years of achieving his sound of electric blues in the clubs of Chicago, Muddy contracted with Aristocrat Records, which was owned by Evelyn Aron, a native businessperson in corporation with Leonard and Phil Chess who were the Jewish migrant brothers who ran numerous Side bars of the South, including the Macomba Lounge. Initially, as Muddy told the reporter Pete Welding, Leonard Chess “did not like my singing...

...I am studying bachelor of Accounting in Australia. Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" (now Edison, New Jersey) by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.[1] Edison is the fourth most prolific inventor in history, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He is credited with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures. His advanced work in these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as a telegraph operator. Edison originated the concept and implementation of electric-power generation and distribution to homes, businesses, and factories – a crucial development in the modern industrialized world. His first power station was on Manhattan Island, New York. Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, and grew up in Port Huron, Michigan...

...Today was the highest circulating national newspaper in the United States.1 CEO Tom Curley and his senior executive team had created a new category of newspapers by negotiating distribution deals with hotels and businesses to provide national news to educated and high-income business travelers, a demographic that yielded excellent advertising revenues. When widening access to the Internet and the emergence of novel news content channels such as Yahoo! and AOL promised to put the newspaper’s position under threat, USA Today moved quickly to enter this new online market by creating USAToday.com. Although sharing the same brand, this online ‘paper’ differed significantly from the print version, and involved competencies, practices and structures that challenged many of the existing newspaper industry’s fundamental assumptions. In the print paper, journalists found news stories, wrote them up and...

A trip to almost any bookstore will find shelves of material written about the Internet. 2 In this paper,3 several of us involved in the development and evolution of the Internet share our views of its origins and history. This history revolves around four distinct aspects. There is the technological evolution that began with early research on packet switching and the ARPANET (and related technologies), and where current research continues to expand the horizons of the infrastructure along several dimensions, such as scale, performance, and higher-level functionality. There is the operations and management aspect of a global and complex operational infrastructure. There is the social aspect, which...
