Technology
(a) Technology is "the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science" (Dictionary.com, 2014). 1)(b) High-technology is "scientific technology involving the production or use of advanced or sophisticated devices especially in the fields of electronics and computers" (Merriam-Webster, 2014). 1)(c) A can opener, an electric can opener, and a radio are all examples of technology. They involve mechanical parts and some simple electronics or electronics that have been in use for a substantial period of time, and are not considered advanced or sophisticated. A 3D printer, a drone, a satellite radio, and a 3D TV all rely upon advanced computer technology to work and would be examples of high technology because they would be unable to work without supporting advanced technology and, even though a satellite radio may be in common usage, they cannot be used without satellite technology, which cannot be simulated by an end-user. Fax machines and nuclear submarines occupy an unusual area; both have some complex electronics that rely on computer end electronics, and there are versions of them that employ cutting-edge technology, however they have existed for decades and can be run without employing newer technologies.
(2) In fact, devices like nuclear submarines and fax machines help highlight how rapidly technology is changing in 2014 when compared to the prior century because they show a merger between 20th century technology and 21st century technology. The changes in technology have not been linear...
Most well-known was Robert Scoble of Microsoft. With the 2004 U.S. Presidential elections, blogs' growth accelerated dramatically as nearly every news network, candidate in both U.S. Senate and House of Representative races, and political pundit has their own blog competing for the publics' attention. The era of 2004 to today in fact has created a blogging industry that is pervasive in its availability of publishing platforms (USC Annenberg School of
Apple Corporation When considering the ever-changing and highly competitive global landscape of business today, firms must stay at the cutting edge of their respective fields in order to sustain profitability in the long-term. With the current exponential growth and advancement of technology and the computerization of business and learning, consumers and investors have become much more connected to the businesses they patronize (Kurzweil, 2001). Accordingly, companies are faced with the
The field is generally that of social control, informal and formal, and it sits in a surround, the larger political forces in a city or a nation (Manning 2008, p. 87). The most prominent of these political pressures is a public, at least in the United States, that is ostensibly averse to constant monitoring as well as the continued militarization of the police force though the deployment of technologies such
Biometric Technology Biometrics are those easily measurable physiological, behavioral or anatomical characteristics, which can be used in identifying an individual. A common biometric modality is fingerprints, but there are others like DNA, voice patterns, irises, facial patterns, and palm prints. Biometrics have been quite beneficial in the last couple of years for law enforcement and intelligence (investigative) purposes, mostly to the FBI and its associates. in the intelligence and law enforcement

5G Wireless: Is it the future? Introduction Ever since the early part of the 70s decade, the mobile wireless sector has been creating technology, in addition to engaging in technological development and reform. During the last many years, mobile wireless technology has undergone four to five generations of change and progress. Further, the past few years have witnessed a giant leap in telecommunication services across the globe, with roughly six billion cellphone
