...problem, the relationship between extent of computer technology usage and study habit of students from Rogationist College and the its background. Introduction Nowadays, technology became an inseparable part of our lives. It now rules the life of an average student and in the field of education in any corner of the world. It has taken over the field of education. Its influence has been taken across the world in every possible way. According to Charlie S. (2012) “Computer has been taking big parts of our lives, in different sectors such as medicine, architecture, communication, research, sports and education. But it greatly affects the sector of education, especially the students”. In this world of competition, the students should have to be educated. Everything is not taught by a teacher or in school. In facing big challenges in life, students take extra learning through technology/computers. These computers can be used for their personal or recreational activities such as listening to music, watching movies or videos, chatting, browsing, playing games and etc. We can also express our feelings through it, through social networking sites. Furthermore, the work of the students became easier in searching information they want to learn. Technology has been part of our lives like language, ritual values, arts and more. It also affects our ways of thinking that can contribute to a more progressive country. Computer technology provides an opportunity for students with the physical...

One of the technologies used in the health care industry is telemedicine. Telemedicine is the use of medical information that is exchanged from one website to another while using electronic communications in order to improve a patient's clinical health status. The use of telemedicine has started to spread very quickly. It is becoming united into hospitals, home health agencies, specialty departments, private doctor offices, consumer's homes, and workplaces (American Telemedicine Association, 2012). In addition, there are many services that are considered to be part of telemedicine. They are patient consultations through video conferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, and plenty more. The second type of technology is Health Care Robots. The robotic technologies are used in the health care industry for several reasons. They help with food service, medication distribution, infection control, surgeries, as well as to helping diagnose patients. The demand for robots is expected to grow enormously due to their many advantages in health care.

...The extent of technology usage and salespeople: an exploratory investigation Sylvain Senecal HEC Montreal, Montreal, Canada, and Ellen Bolman Pullins and Richard E. Buehrer University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio, USA Abstract Purpose – Increasingly, salespeople adopt, or are being asked to adopt, and use a variety of technologies to increase their selling productivity and efficiency. Given this trend, many researchers have begun to explore the question of sales force adoption of technology. However, little work has been done to consider what happens once this technology is adopted. The purpose of this paper is to report two studies that investigated if and why salespeople had different technology usage and if the extent of usage had an impact on their performance. Design/methodology/approach – First, a qualitative study was performed to gain insights about extent of technology usage and the reasons that may explain differences. In order to test some of the research propositions that emerged from the qualitative study, an empirical study was conducted with 130 salespeople. Findings – Innovativeness was found to be helpful in distinguishing between different technology usage levels across various technologies (internet, e-mail, intranet, etc.). Results also suggest three potential antecedents of technology use, as well as a potential moderator of the usage to performance relationship. Originality/value – This paper provides a research agenda for studying this important area. Further...

...Throughout history, society has developed and grown through advances in technology. These have proved both advantageous and detrimental to society as a whole. Technology has helped connect the world and help make everybody happier. However, at what cost? When does technology cease to be beneficial and begin its destruction? Technology has led to the illusion of multitasking, the chronic and widespread abuse of prescription drugs, and the downfall of society as a whole through virtual realities. The article “Why the modern world is bad for your brain”, by Daniel J Levitin shines light on many of the societal norms in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. “Multitasking has been found to increase the production of the stress hormone cortisol as well as the fight-or-flight hormone adrenaline, which can...

We know live in an age of constant digital, informational, and technological change. Paper and the chalkboard are now a thing of the past. Every day, new and improved programs and web-based tools are used as a means to help promote, engage, and teach young minds. This paper will discuss the differences in student and teacher use of technology, how technology has evolved, describe what is expected when using technology in class, discuss concerns that should be addressed for the use of social media during school, the three T’s that Warlick suggests and its impact, and how I will address the needs of my students in technology use. There are many differences that students and teachers face with technology, the main difference is that students are born into it and teachers were introduced to it and have seen it evolve over time. Students are tech savvy, rely on it for almost everything, use it to socialize, and use it as an interactive approach to learning at their own pace and level. Teachers use technology to communicate and collaborate with fellow...

...TECHNOLOGY IN CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT Introduction Technology can no longer be ignored at this point in time of our lives. Truly, technology is and has been incorporated into and has shaped our society. Technology affects numerous components and institutions of the society including education. Thereby, adult education is neither exempt nor immune to its effects. Integration and inclusion of technology to adult education facilitates learning within the adult learners rather than hindering it (Wang, 2011). However, inclusion and integration of technology into adult education has faced several challenges from the people involved in it to the institution that comprise such a sector of education. Most of the write-ups and research have been focused on the teacher who needs to have and/or be equipped with knowledge in technology as well as the acceptance and readiness of the adult students towards technology integration as well as on the digital division that technology might do to the society (Johnson, 2011; Langille, 2004; Kok, 2006). However, all of such challenges have been answered already or continuously answered wherein most scholars agreed that technology does have more beneficial effects than bad ones. Seldom focused on the curriculum development of the adult education wherein it is one of the vital factors to which the teachers and adult students have and are basing their pedagogies and learning. Curriculum comes from a Latin word currere which means to run but more...

...As technology becomes more advanced, the intellect of people decreases. In today’s ever changing environment, technology is becoming more prevalent as the expected knowledge or common knowledge in all aspects of society. Some of the most noticeable aspects of society affected by technology are: schools (at all age levels), social life (both online and in person), and businesses (concerning the use of technology for normal operation). In theory, the groups of people most affected by the changing technological environment are children and young teens. According to Gerhard Lenski, the younger generation is affected more because the standard of technology they are exposed to is more than older generations were exposed to in the past (Macionis, J. J.,2010). According to Gerhard Lenski’s theory of society and technology, “Inventing or adopting new technology sends ripples of change throughout a society (Macionis, J. J., 2010). Based on Lenski’s theory, the grandparents of a family would have difficulty adapting to the new technology used today, while the grandchildren would have some difficulties living the way the Grandparents did when they were young. The older generation had to complete all of their work without autocorrect, calculators, or computers to automatically calculate equations. So, with the use of more technology now than in the past, some believe that as technology becomes more advanced, the intellect of people decrease(s). The first example of the decrease in intellect...

...Our social depends on technology Within the last century, the world has witnessed phenomenal technological evolution. Now seemingly account methods of communication such as telegraphs and messages in a bottle have grown and developed into compact, portable and multifaceted devices. Gateways have been opened for people to have accrues to instant, unlimited communication with one another by way of computer, cell phone, or tablet. Although the concept of instant interaction is profound and extraordinarily convenient for many, therein lies a plethora of risks associated with using this equipment. Clinical studies have been conducted reveling the negative impact on individuals and families through misuse and dependency on these computerized gadgets. Modern technological devices create harmful social isolation by the of distraction, disruption, and selfishness. Strict limitations need to be forced on usage of cell phones, tablets and computer devices, since these are prime contributors to the divisions amongst families and from detrimental social separations amongst various populations. Depression, and stress are divisible by their specific subjective and objective traits; nonetheless, they are interwind by the effect on the mental health of many people.

...1st Draft Dependence from technologies Humanity or Mankind has evolved from the essence that separates humans from beasts: the ability to use the mind for reason. Reason is the ability to analyze, create, deduce, and formulate. It is reason that enables human beings to strive to invent; it is through invention that mankind has developed society and created a better world. When we speak about the relationships between technology and humanity, it is evident that we have to deal with the interrelations between some very complex phenomena: technology, science, society or systems of societies, and systems of rights of a universal nature. The discovery and development of a large number of powerful energy sources-coal, petroleum, electricity etc. have enabled humanity to conquer the barriers of nature. All this has facilitates the growth of fast modes of transport, which in turn has transformed the world into a global village. Newer and newer advances are happening by the day. Technological change is in large part responsible for many of the secular trends in such basic parameters of the human condition as the size of the world population, life expectancy, education levels, material standards of living, and the nature of work, communication, health care, war, and the effects of human activities on the natural environment. Technological development has provided human history with a kind of directionality. 1) Without the needed technology a lot of people would struggle with their...
