Automation of the Drug Court System
These are specially formed courts whose jurisdiction involves offenders majorly with drug related problems. Drug courts are primarily an alternative to the normal prison, or the detention camps. The criminal justice system in drug courts works hand in hand with the treatment systems. The main objective of the drug courts is to provide the offender with the necessary support towards recovery, to maintain their stay during recovery and afterwards to enable them lead a life that is productive to the society.
Drug courts represent a unique approach to managing drug-related cases. This approach is a fairly recent phenomenon for the justice system. It grew out of problems created for the justice system, and the communities it serves, when the growth of drug-related arrests threatened to overwhelm the system in the early 1990s.
There is an urgent need to carry out urgent mitigation measures; this is because this…...
Automation and Group Collaboration Software
Our organization uses several automation and group collaboration software that we find important and indispensable when developing projects. This paper will discuss a few of these softwares, analyzing their functions as well as the advantages and disadvantages that they bring to users.
Remote Desktop Connection
The first automation and group collaboration software that we will discuss is Remote Desktop Connection. The development of Remote Desktop Connection is very brilliant because it allows a remote access of computer machines. The task of opening files and working on your computer machine that is located in your office can be done virtually wherever you are. Thus, allowing a user to become productive at work whenever and wherever he wishes. In the continuous development of our technology, making things portable is becoming a trend. Devices become smaller and smaller, allowing every component in technology easy to bring. y using Remote Desktop…...

Cognitive laziness, according to the experts, is a condition in which people reveal a tendency to take short cuts for a number of things, including a short cut to flying on automation, as in this case. Social loafing refers to the tendency displayed by people, in which people tend to expend lesser effort in any given situation, when there is a group of individuals involved. ("Cockpit automation may bias decision making," 1999)
Most individuals, stated Dr. Skitka, tended to display a tendency to slack off when there was a situation that warranted a sharing of responsibility. Therefore, in this case, when the computer is a part of the group, the same tendency would apply. Diffusion of responsibility refers to the inclination of individuals to conform to the demands that figures of authority make on them. In this particular case, the computer was taken as an authority figure, or at the…...

aviation is automation. Automation has been a part of aviation far longer than it has been a part of any other industry or cause, and aviation has been multi-cultural since the first flight across the Atlantic. In light of the recent global changes in aviation, after recent terrorist acts, there is a much greater international need for a culture of safety that alleviates the rational fears of the public. Challenges of international collaboration are now more important than ever. The challenges of automation and especially the cross-cultural issues of it are the ways in which pilots and mangers view automation and how they use it. The challenges to the aviation industry are trendsetting in the field of human and computer interaction, almost before the complex ideas of technological advance and its time and energy saving effects were devised.
In aviation technology was used from the early beginning to automate flight…...

EMOVAL OF THE HUMAN FACTO IN SUPPOT:
As the adaptive automation is brought into the lime light not only will it help decreasing human errors but would also eliminate the unnecessary human intervention.
This technology would itself adapt as its name suggests to the changing data processes, make the necessary changes automatically and thus improve the system's function and agility.
Out ruling the possibility of human errors "fewer systems and solutions will break or unnecessarily slow down. And more changes will be able to be effected without major impacts on systems, users, time capital and personnel budgets.

Office Automation and Group Collaboration
In my company, the imaging technology is used for the office automation purposes and the Lotus-Notes is used for the group collaboration purposes. Below I will describe the use of these technologies in my company.
The imaging technology has been useful to my company as it is able to eliminate the need for the paper in many areas. By the elimination of the paper in several business processes, my company has been able to significantly improve its performance by reducing the need to re-keying most of information in the paper format. Tasks, which were previously done one after another, now can be done simultaneously, because imaging technology can provide simultaneous access to documents. So, multiple people can do their jobs at the same time. This kind of access, which allows people working in parallel, offers considerable improvements to the overall processing time and the quality of the…...
Thanks to automation, human beings have been able to achieve better standards of living and solve some of the challenges that have bedeviled the human race for ages. However, as some have pointed out in the past, automation will continue leading to massive job loss (Wajcman, 2017). This is more so the case given that technology has ushered in some capabilities that allow for more efficiency and profitability. There are those who feel that tech will replace professionals as we know them. As a matter of fact, as Wajcman (2017) points out, the authors of The Future of the Professions are convinced that even those professions deemed immune in the past are not that safe after all. In the words of Wajcman (2017), the said authors are of the opinion that “in the internet society, we will neither need nor want doctors, teachers, accountants, architects, the clergy, consultants or lawyers to…...
