...objective manner with the aim of covering rise of technology, with a specific focus on the digital divide. Indeed, the digital divide refers to the difference or gap between the people who have access to technology and those who lack access to technology. Clearly, computer technology has brought about significant ethical and social effects among people from all dimensions. The significance of the digital divide can be witnessed at school and work. The evidence of a digital divide can be seen in terms of the differences in access to computer technology. Different obstacles that limit the access to computer technology for some individuals have caused the divide. Access to computer technology is limited by the differences in geographical areas. From the geographical perspective, statistics indicate that individuals living in suburban areas have a higher access to computer technology both online and computer access as compared to rural and central city residents (Kizza, 2002). Income levels also determine the access to computer technology since computer gadgets or devices are monetized thus individuals have to purchase them and this poses a challenge to people who experience financial constraints. Other -issues include ethnicity where statistics indicate that white non-Hispanic individuals have a higher access to computer technology as compared to other individuals. Age and education also determine the access to computer technology. I agree with Kizza (2002), The digital divide...

...The Role of Technology in Education Freeman Dyson, an American theoretical physics and mathematical, once said, “Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it’s perhaps the greatest of God’s gifts. It’s the mother of civilization, of arts and of sciences.” The role of technology in education in this world is increasing day by day. There are a lot of ways technology helps with improving education, but combining technology with education is the most important and effective way. Technology plays an important role in developing the education, and at the same time it made the process of learning and teaching easier and more enjoyable. Technology has changed the way of education in the last twenty years; it has made students’ lives easier, and increased knowledge more than in previous eras , but at the same time it has increased students’ opportunity for cheating. To begin with, technology has made students life easier. Twenty years ago, students had to carry heavy books and a pile of notebooks to class, and the class was just about listening to the teachers and using pens and papers. Now, students can use more than a pen and paper to learn and express themselves; they can use a software to create projects and make presentations, which makes learning more enjoyable for them. Besides, students can carry iPad instead of big fat books and a pile of notebooks, which is easier for them and even healthier for their bodies, so their back won’t hurt because of carrying...

Books are no longer the main way to improve the understanding of a specific matter. Universities are acquiring more and more computers to facilitate the student's life, and to provide faster information. Students are using the Internet for acquiring knowledge instead the of going to a library which save their time. For example, a person needs to do a research about a matter, and then instead of going to the library, this person could gather good and diverse information using the Internet. Consequently, he\she would finish his\her research faster than doing it in the library by hand. Thus, technology, which created the computer, has definitely helped the universities and the students to get a better knowledge. The rise of the internet technology has improved our daily lives in very many ways. The world business and...

...Technology affects our everyday life. Technology also affects the criminal justice field, especially in communication. The criminal justice system has different databases thanks to technology. These databases do things that humans wouldn’t be able to do or wouldn’t have the time to do. Two specific types of databases are AFIS and Iris scan. AFIS (also known as IAFIS) stands for Automated Fingerprint Identification System. AFIS is just that, a database created to keep track of fingerprints. Iris scan is the scanning of the iris as a method to identify people based on unique patterns within the ring-shaped region surrounding the pupil of the eye. Even though we use technology every day it can also have its drawbacks. Technological advancements will always come with positives and negatives. A positive is that technology makes life easier for everyone who works in the criminal justice field. A negative would be if a form of technology breaks down or there isn’t any electricity to keep it up and running. AFIS is one of the most important and commonly used databases available to officers. This special database searches the fingerprints of over 74 million subjects in the National Criminal History Record File. AFIS is a system that compares fingerprints. It isn't precise enough to make a final determination on a case but what it does do is cut out all of the people whose fingerprints don't compare very closely to the initial fingerprint at hand. This is a huge asset to the criminal...

Others are technological and industrial revolutions. These industrial revolutions are called so because of the sudden change of the technology used. With this change comes both pros and cons. People get new technology that can make life easier. Also new technology can stimulate an economy leading it away from an economic disaster. But with these benefits comes the darker side. These new technologies are unregulated and can be taken advantage of, along with the people required to use it. As people flock to cities to contribute and gain from these new technologies...

...Exploratory essay November 12, 2015 Is technology a danger or a solution to our society and our health The development of technology is usually considered good based on the fact that its main purpose is to make people’s lives easier. Nowadays, instead of people using the technology to help them organize their lives, it seems that it’s going the other way around. People became too dependent on technology and are, in a way, ruled by it. Most of the information we receive is through mobile devices or television. Too much time is spent looking at the phone or TV screen, making it dangerous to persons both physical and mental health. On the other hand, technology has helped a lot in many fields such as: medicine, communication, education, and transport, making the life we know today much safer, faster, and easier. The views on technology development are greatly divided. Some of the most popular views are: by people who consider that life without technology would be pointless, unorganized, and chaotic; by people who find using too much technology to be hazardous and believe that it’s making people unhealthier, dumber, and lazier; and by people who think that technology should became better, but only used to assist people and should not become a big part of everyday life. There are many reasons why technology is good and should be used daily. Some people can’t even imagine their day without the use of modern day technology. Computers, mobile phones, tablets, and other devices...

...300-word answers to each of the following: Questions Answers What is meant by the term media convergence with regard to technology, and how has it affected everyday life? Media convergence means that the different kinds of media are becoming one. I believe that even though we have many forms of media it all is still merging into the main form that we us these days: technology. This has made a big effect on our everyday life simply because we now use technology for everything. Most of us no longer go get newspapers and things as such like we use to. Now everything is available for us online or through our smart phones. They even have apps on our smart phones for the online sites that have the information from the newspaper. This makes things easier in a sense. It also helps us get information without going through so many different kinds of sources and media’s. We use technology so much more these days; everything is slowly but surely becoming electronic or being able to be done/reached through technology. Traditional media is still here but it is not as effective as it used to be. Technology is the big hit of the century. We use technology more than we can imagine and it has become so much more advanced than I ever imagined. I believe it will only continue to advance and blow our minds knows where things will be in another century. I do believe that if technology keeps advancing like this that in the future traditional media will be slim to no usage at all. It will slowly fade away...

...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.

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....

...|“DOES TECHNOLOGY MAKE LIFE DIFFICULT?” |1 | “Does technology make life unnecessarily difficult? How much is too much?” Kameron A. Green ITT Technical Institute Some people might find it hard to believe that there was once a time when people didn’t rely on technology to do everything for them. As the world advances in years, the use and implementation of technology becomes more and more relevant. Today, people use technology for everything from checking up on their social media, to paying bills and running businesses. Technology has made it possible for anyone to find anything they need or get anything they want with little to no effort being put into it. While it may seem like that is a good thing to be able to do all of these things from some device or computer, there is also a side to it that everyone seems to let pass over their heads… how complicated everything has become. In the world we live in today, the use of technology has become almost as required as the need for breathing air. Think about how many times a day you go around checking your social media, or looking down to your phone for a text message, or even playing games on your cell phone. Today, people use technology for everything from checking up on their social media, to paying bills and running businesses. ““Ok – what’s so bad about that?” you may ask. “Why waste those little...

...do their daily tasks. Humans are becoming more and more reliant on machines to do simple activities, such as changing the channel or traveling. I agree that technology does make activities uncomplicated, and genuinely makes life easier, but how can a person stay physically fit and healthy when he/she does nothing himself/herself? In Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, many environmental issues are discussed. Among the issues, Quinn talks about technology and how humans believe it to be a turning point in society, but will eventually lead to the downfall of humans. People are at great risk to their health with the advancements in technology. Not only have individuals fabricated new ways of entertainment, but have built factories, which pollute the air they breathe and water they drink. In Ishmael, Quinn tells of man trying to fly; when man fails, he does not just simply give up and wait to fly, but creates a new way, that is not fool-proof. Humans will do anything to make life easier, but for no reason than to make life easier. But is this really making life relaxing? People still have to go to work, still have to breathe in polluted air, and other such effects, all of which may be hazardous to their health. Humans keep creating objects that are harmful to the environment, and they call this “technology.” Well, this may be “technology,” but obviously citizens do not see that it is taking control of their...

...“On-Board diagnostics generation two has greatly increased the emission control system self-testing capability of the power train computer.” (ASE 22) Although some people think technology makes automotive technicians lives easier, they would be wrong, the computer may be doing more of the work but it is harder to work on these new and improved modern vehicles because it requires more technical and computer skills rather than only mechanical skills. Just because the technology is making it easier for the consumer, and sometimes for the technician who is diagnosing the vehicle, doesn’t mean technology makes it easier for everyone. The person who actually has to repair the vehicle needs to learn new skill sets and learn about computers and electronics...

...With the rapid growth of technology, there has been a debate on how we are using technology in our life. Many people think that we are now abusing modern devices to support for our own life; while others reckon that using technology brings us just good things and make our life easier. According to what I have observed and experienced, I believe that people, nowadays, have been overly dependent on technology. To begin with, it is not hard to recognize the intergral role of technology in houses. Housewives, nowadays, are no longer “housewives” as itself used to mean. They do almost every task with the assistance of modern machines. They have clothes washed by washing machine instead of doing that by hand as before or they clean dishes just by putting them into a dishwasher. In the past, televisions seemed like the luxurious thing but each family now has at least one or even more than two TV sets in their house. It is now common to catch the image of many children or some adults spending most of their time in front of the screens containing various attractive things. What is more, workplaces are becoming more and more dependent upon technology. In almost every company, there is an advancedly computerized system which makes tasks much easier and quicker. Most of employees have their own mobile phone or computer so that they could exchange information or documents as soon as they want without leaving their desks. Besides, there are many kinds of machine such as printers, photocopiers...
