¶ … global warming seems clear. Europe has been sizzling for the last few summers, in buildings and in an infrastructure ill-equipped for sustained 90F degree weather. The polar ice caps are melting. The maple syrup industry, dependant upon the cold has moved from increasingly sultry Vermont to Canada. Weather systems are growing more severe, and there are greater seasonal fluctuations in temperatures as the climate becomes less stable. Finally, average global temperatures are eking up, slowly, year after year.
Environmental Pollution
The difficulty of addressing the issue of global warming is that it requires a global effort. For one nation to have an environmentally friendly policy is ineffectual, as a single nation cannot clean the atmosphere of the entire globe, no matter how 'green' it becomes. This means that political enemies must compromise, even if they have other differences of policy. But the problem of the developing world remains. Nations like China and India have not participated in the economic prosperity of the industrial revolution, and wish to prosper -- and often pollute -- to increase the living standard of their nations. How can the developed world in good conscience tell them to slow their efforts at globally unsustainable, polluting growth?
Technology and Natural Resources 1
Technology has given us mass production, making everything possible from inexpensive clothing to affordable cars. It has given us electricity and a 24/7 society. It has also 'given' us polluting cars, toxins in the products we consume that do not break down, and a disposable society of ever-increasing landfills. Technology has moved faster in its ability to mass-produce what we consume than it has found ways to make us leave less of an ecological footprint.

Hybrid cards. Solar power. Recycling. These are just a few examples of how technology can create some improvements to mitigate the negative impact it has had upon the planet. Also, the use of mass communication, to educate people about global warming and the need to change their lifestyles is another example of how technology can have positive benefits in improving life in the future.
Future of Accounting The business world is in a period of change, with accounting a major part of that business world. As one report says, "Accounting is the language of business. It is and always will be the analysis of how money is used by businesses, nonprofit organizations, governments and individuals" (Insight). As the business world changes, accounting must change to continue to meets the needs of businesses. This is
Future Technology: The University of Phoenix Workplace & Classroom In 1976, Dr. John Sperling founded University of Phoenix (UOP) and made a commitment to provide working adults with local higher education options at convenient class times. Today, students study at more than 200 locations, as well as through online programs available in countries around the world. Not only will adult learners attend classes that are convenient for them, they will earn
These benefits arise because of implementing both assistive technologies and Information Communication technology (ICT). The implementation of technology in classrooms usually has benefits to both the disabled students as well as the teachers (Kirk, Gallagher, Coleman, & Anastasiow, 2012, p.240). The general benefits of use of assistive technologies and ICT in teaching students with learning disabilities include greater learner autonomy and unlocking hidden potential with those with communication difficulties.
Apart from this, further developments will be made in the fields of physics, medicine and engineering. Sensors will be seen everywhere and people will be able to go towards the space with the elevator and this will be made possible by just clicking on a single button. All these developments are in process are will come into view in the future (Kaku, pg. 45). As it is mentioned above that
McKinley (2005) calls for the use of these varying technologies to give students with language disorders a sense of empowerment so they can then overcome their problem and learn as they are capable of learning. Technology has offered a means of treatment for very young children as well as for students, with the hope of bringing about beneficial change before these children lose their way in school.

These inventions were predicted to have high social effects also. (Characteristics, History, and Importance of Technological Forecasting) Over the years the government decided to make its role permanent through an office of Technology Assessment as permitted by the Technology Assessment Act. The aim of this office was to provide congress with all required information for support, management and regulation of applied technologies. This shows the great interest that the
