It is likely that this trend will continue along the same lines as other technologies; just as telephones, the Internet, and cell phones each individually became more or less essential parts of living in Western society, the web-enabled cell phone will almost certainly be just as essential to conducting business and daily life in the next decade.
For the majority of citizens in the Western -- and as increasingly the case, Eastern -- world, there are some obvious up- and down-sides to these trends. The ability to access and be accessed by almost anyone, no matter where they or you are, is ridiculously convenient and more than a little annoying. But there are other effects to this trend that will have the Internet and computers playing a much more prevalent role in Western society as a whole. The "digital divide" that is being created between those that have computers and…...

The real-time integration to memory management that would lead to rapid advanced in superscalar memory management made possible with ISC-based microprocessors and memory however continued to be driven by IBM and their partners working in conjunction with each other on new developments (Biswas, Carley, Simpson, Middha, Barua, 2006).
Implications of ISC Development on Memory Management Advances

Over the first twenty five years of ISC processor and memory development the key lessons learned in processor-to-memory integration led to breakthroughs including how to make multithreading for 32-bit and higher bit order applications collaborate in memory, how to minimize cycle time and increase cache memory predictability over time (Biswas, Carley, Simpson, Middha, Barua, 2006). Cycle times and cache memory became and still are the two most monitored key performance indicators (KPIs) of system performance in systems due to the progression made in ISC-to-memory integration (Vanhaverbeke, Noorderhaven, 2001). Superscalar memories today reflect the decades of…...

Computer Technology
Technology and Writing in the Workplace

Over the last decade there has been a significant change in technology which is available in the workplace, and the way that technology is used. The computer has been credited with having the potential to create a paperless society, and many written communications are no longer printed on paper, but communicated in electronic format. This movement towards electronic written communication, where communication takes place through an intranet or Internet, has been seen as advantageous for a number of reasons. The reduction of paper-based communications has the potential to save on resources, which can ultimately result in cost savings, as well as being environmentally friendly, meaning one is likely to see the process continue with paper-based written communication being slowly replaced with electronic written communication.

However, while one can argue there is a reduction in the amount of paper-based written communication, this does not mean there…...

The various options and possible settings pertain to issues that most computer users do not even know exist, let alone what they do or how they interrelate with other elements of the computer (Kizza, 2005).
About the only time most computer users ever view or make changes to system software settings is during troubleshooting and diagnostic procedures at the direction of computer specialists or technicians (Kizza, 2005). Typical examples of the way that most computer users access system software settings is when they are experiencing computer problems and technicians relay instructions for users to follow (usually over the telephone) so that the technician can conduct standard system setting and software conflict checks remotely. Usually those types of service calls begin with the technician instructing the user to determine the computer's operating system by clicking the "My Computer" icon, then "Properties" and then the "General" tab to identify the operating system…...

The first such machine used for the procedures, the CEREC I, was used for manufacturing ceramic and cusp-protection onlays, three-quarter crowns, seven-eighth crowns, and veneers. The machine completed the etching, silanating, and adhesive cementing, and then conventional porcelain-polishing procedures were used to complete the process. The newer CEREC II system can create full-coverage ceramic crowns (Foerster 2). Beyond the greater technological ease, using such machines reduces the risk of tooth fracture between visits. Reduced treatment time and visits for impressions and provisional restorations reduces costs to the patient, and also to the military (Foerster 4). Most attractively for the military: "Finally, teeth can be restored without the services of a dental laboratory. This reduces the overall cost of the restoration and permits the restoration of teeth in remote locations where laboratory services may not be readily available" (Foerster.3).

The value of such technology is not limited to the military, of course.…...

A repeated-measures field study (n = 316) investigated the effect of mood on employee motivation and intentions toward using a specific computer technology at two points in time: immediately after training and 6 weeks after training. Actual usage behavior was assessed for 12 weeks after training. Each individual was assigned to one of three mood treatments: positive, negative, or control. Results indicated that there were only short-term boosts in intrinsic motivation and intention to use the technology among individuals in the positive mood intervention. However, a long-term lowering of intrinsic motivation and intention was observed among those in the negative mood condition" (Venkatesh 1999).

Conclusion

Computer technology in workplace training does create barriers but they can be overcome when there is a corporate culture to share such information and where there is certain procedure(s) to get the organizational strategy throughout all levels. Often a company may choose to make such goals available…...

, 2005). Even for businesses that are not regulated, learning management systems can be highly beneficial for the tracking and management of employees (Martin et al., 2005). There are several functions that learning management systems facilitate within businesses these include: the documentation of training requirements for all employees, including requirements that are motivated by local and global policies and standards; the reduction of repetitiveness in the methods used to track training; ensuring that training complies with standards of the business; that there is a consistent following of standards operating procedures across functions; the enablement of venues for online training in order to reach more learners and eliminate unnecessary travel costs; efficient management of rosters for instructor-led training; and the documentation of course completion (Martin et al., 2005).
Although the benefits of learning management systems are significant, there are several challenges to implementation of the system that businesses need to overcome. These…...

The primary types of computer-controlled laser eye surgeries are PRK and LASIK. Both reshape the corneal area of the eye to allow light to better focus on the retina, resulting in clearer vision for the patient. Yet, it is only through the use of computer technology that this can be achieved. The lasers used in these procedures remove infinitesimal amounts of tissue, approximately 1/500th the width of a human hair. They also operate at very high speeds. In addition, it is only through the use of computers that the cornea anomalies in each patient can be accounted for and corrected, resulting in an increased rate of success, with the surgeries. The most important concept taken from this information is that the human hand and reflexes could not give the precision necessary to make this tissue removal. Therefore, the procedures could not be performed without the use of computer technology,…...

Computers Have Influenced Business & the Commercial Work Environment
This paper considers how computers have influenced the workplace environment, how they may give a competitive advantage or add value. The paper also considers how the value may not be as great as perceived by considering the productivity paradox. The bibliography cites 10 sources.

Computers in the Work Environment

The commercial environment has changed over the last few decades. One of the most influential factors has been the development of the computer. The technology has created a social and commercial revolution, increasing the speed and accuracy of communication reducing man hours for tedious tasks and creating new methods of analysis and business practice. However, there are many conflicting reports regarding the way that computers have been used and the benefits they may bring. Therefore, computers in the workplace may be seen as essential, but the value they add is sometimes questionable. In this…...

Computer Technology Advancement
The pace at which computer technology has been increasing in speed and efficiency is a modern marvel of science. There is no denying that the world has been completely shaken by the rapid spread of information, and the increased access to communication methods. The humble beginnings of computers after World War II was an evolution of needs by the United States government. The Space program contributed greatly to the process of computer modernization, and the continued shrinking of processors has meant the rise of the graphical user interface, the internet, and miniaturization of the overall computer experience. There are disagreements as to whether all of this progress has really created the best results for humanity, and therefore this paper will be a struggle between these two points-of-view. In this paper I will analyze the pros and cons to the rapid advancement of computer technology, and argue why I…...

Computers Are an Underutilized Resource for High School Physical Education Teachers
Computers have become an integral part of the high school learning environment, beginning in the early 1990s. They provide a vast variety of resources to help enhance student education through presentation of material in a variety of media and act as an enhancement to teacher lessons. They can sometimes free teachers from routine tasks, allowing them to bring greater depth to the classroom environment.

The use of computers has revolutionized the learning experience for many students and has provided a valuable resource. Many of these resources have pointed this technology towards traditional subjects such as math and physics. The physical education classroom could enjoy just as many benefits from the use of a computer as the math of physics classroom. Yet most do not utilize this resource, either by choice, or administrative decision.

This research will focus on the reasons for and…...

Fixed network stations (i.e. desktop computers) connect through a USB port adapter, while laptops generally employ a wireless PCMCIA card at a nominal cost. In the last few years, these pieces of equipment have been replaced by many laptop manufacturers with internal wireless capabilities included as standard equipment in higher-end laptops.
Modern Wireless Networking Options and ecommendations:

Modern wireless computer technology transmits data at 2.4GHzor 5 GHz, at 54mb/sec to 108mb/sec, which enables much larger volumes of data than the frequencies employed by cell phones (Wilson, 2007). Still, wireless data transfer rates are limited in comparison to the fastest hard-wired connections, which can now transmit data as fast as 1000mb/sec. Even within these limitations, wireless computing technology is now a viable option for most business applications, with certain specific exceptions.

Industries that routinely handle extremely high volumes of data may overload wireless networks, particularly where many remote computers share the network. Other…...

Computer Technology Best Used in the Design Process?
The Design Process of a Forty-Five Foot Sailing Boat'

Computers are now being used in a growing number of applications. Computers have become a part of almost every academic discipline and area of expertise that anyone can imagine. Computer programs can perform many tasks more quickly and in some cases better than a human can. Computers allow us to see objects from all angles and create hypothetical situations to determine have the object will react in certain situations such as a crash or in a wind tunnel to test aerodynamics. Computers allow engineers to analyze projects quickly and efficiently.

Shipbuilding has been around for thousands of years and the early boat builders did not have the convenience of using high tech equipment. Since these first boats were built, there has been a driving force to make the better, bigger, faster, and more useful for…...
