Telephone and its impact on Communication and Technology
The humanities generally encompass such subjects as languages, history, philosophy, religion, music and theater, literature, and law; but they also include what is referred to as the "social sciences," which include anthropology, cultural studies, as well as technology and communication. As part of the "social science" discipline, the telephone has had an enormous impact. Not only has the telephone allowed individuals to communicate over long distances, but by the ancillary technologies it has created (wireless communication, internet, etc.), the telephone has completely transformed society. The telephone has also created an entirely new field of study called "digital humanities," or the combination of computer technology and the humanities. ("Manifesto," 2009) This essay will discuss the impact of the telephone, and it's subsequent offspring technologies, and their impact on the discipline of communication and technology.

Cellular Telephones

The increasing high demand for communication has necessitated the invention of cellular telephones in the world. Advancements in technology have also played a critical part to see to it that communication technology serves the needs of people efficiently. Over the years the use of cellular telephone has moved from a luxurious to an essential. This is to the extent that people consider life without them as impossible. Behind the increasing popularity of Cellular telephones there are dozens of reason that include; technological offers, entertainment, growth in the cellular manufacturing industry and connectivity in the social networks (Aylor, 2012).

The growth in the cellular industry has contributed to higher competition and lower prices that lead to affordability…...

Distance Communication and the Invention of the Telegraph & Telephone
When Scottish-born Alexander Graham Bell invented the first working telephone in 1876, he never could have envisioned the modern masses glued to their wireless devices. The wooden stand, funnel, copper wire, and acid used to form the first telephone could not be farther removed from the digital universe we live in now. What arose out of a general knowledge about acoustics and electricity became a revolution in technology and communications. The age-old human dream of long distance communication became a reality with the invention of the telephone.

What was once termed "talking by lightening" evolved out of many years of investigation into potential voice transmission devices. Samuel Morse's telegraph paved the way for future developments on the telephone, but early phones served more as novelty items than practical devices. Nevertheless, during the late 1800s, a plethora of patents were issued for…...

Work Flow Analysis
Workflow of Answering a Telephone in an Office

Workflow is a series of tasks that an organization undertakes to achieve the desired outcome. A workflow analysis assists an organization to automate, streamline and improve efficiency. (McGonigle, & Mastrian, 2012). In other words, a workflow analysis assists in maximizing an effective use of essential resources, and minimize the activities that are not adding values to organizations. In the United States, the operations of healthcare environment are increasing and require a streamlined business process to enhance safety and quality of healthcare delivery. Workflow is a crucial aspect of information technology to achieve intended business outcome. In a healthcare environment, a workflow is a process of interaction through which hospitals deliver efficient healthcare to patients. While there are different types of workflow, a flowchart is an effective tool to address inefficiencies. Answering a telephone in an office is a common event that…...

Preparing for a Telephone Interview

Telephone interviews are becoming increasingly popular; they may be used for screening of potential applicants, and have been noted as particularly prevalent in agencies specializing in graduate placements (Silvester et al., 2000). The process has the potential to increase efficiency in the recruitment process, allowing screening to take place effectively in terms of time and resource use, which is usually followed by a more in-depth face-to-face interview (Arthur, 2012). For an interview candidate to be successful in a telephone interview there needs to be a careful consideration of what the interviewer will be looking for; this will include interest in the job and the ability to satisfy the relevant criteria needed by a successful candidate (Arthur, 2012).

Before a telephone interview a candidate should ensure they are prepared. This preparation will include thoroughly rereading the job advertisement as well as undertaking some background research. eading the advertisement…...

etwork security threat assessment

Company Z. is faced with some serious challenges in responding to a number of significant trends that have emerged in recent years that will invariably affect security procedures and processes. For example, in 2013, there were more smartphones in use than personal computers as more telephony customers abandoned their landlines and wired Internet services and replaced them with Web-enabled mobile handheld devices (Booth, 2009). The typical method for the transmission of VoIP digital information between stations is through the use of a network of expensive microwave transmitters (Spasic & esic, 2008).

It is important to point out, though, that even VoIP transmissions that are routinely transmitted between microwave transmitters are frequently routed through analog systems as well as part of the connection process. For instance, Booth (2010) reports…...

Network security vulnerability assessment

Because of their near-universal use, telephone networks security systems are vital to telephone service providers as well as their customers. In this regard, Zirille (2009) emphasizes that, "In this high-technology world, the ubiquitous telephone has become a powerful weapon in the hands of thieves. It can be used as a 'key' to unlock a wide assortment of confidential data" (p. 22). Currently, Company Z. simply discards all internally generated paperwork concerning customer accounts and applications. Therefore, it is recommended that Company Z. improve its physical and environmental security by shredding all internal fax sheets and identification codes for telephony applications (Zirille, 2009). According to Zirille, "Some thieves, known in the trade as "dumpster divers," go through garbage dumpsters looking for such proprietary data" (2009l p. 22).

Company Z's security network is also deficient in virus detection and protections for its VoIP services, an issue that has assumed increased importance in recent years (Bagchi & Tang, 2004; van Burken, 2013). According to Panettieri (2009), "More than 100 viruses now target smart phones running mobile operating systems from Microsoft Corp., PalmSource Inc. And Research in Motion Ltd. To name a few" (p. 18). As an example of how such viruses could disrupt Company Z's operations, Panettieri cites the Cabir and Commwarrior worms that target mobile telephones. For instance, Panettieri advises, "Consider the Cabir worm, which targets mobile phones running Symbian OS and Nokia's Series 60 user interface. Once triggered, Cabir uses Bluetooth to send itself from one phone to another" (2009, p. 19). Likewise, the Commwarrior worm also uses Bluetooth and multimedia messaging service to achieve the same outcome that adversely affect network operations and consumer convenience (Panettieri, 2009). In addition, Unuth (2013) reports that, "VoIP is particularly vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, in which the attacker intercepts call-signaling SIP message traffic and masquerades as the calling party to the called party, or vice versa. Once the attacker has gained this position, he can hijack calls via a redirection server" para. 3). Other common types of security threats to

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of self-administered interviewing, face-to-face interviewing, and telephone interviewing?

Interviewing in many instances relies heavily on first impressions and communication amplitude. Depending on the form of interview, non-verbal cues, appearance, and disposition all created a framework in which to properly evaluate an individual. When looking at the three forms of interviewing: self-administered, face-to-face, and telephone, each has its own distinct advantages relative its peers.

To begin, self-administered interviewing arguable provides the most freedom in regards to interviewee response. Self-administered interviewing utilizes a standardized protocol of clear instructions and questions that enable witnesses to provide their own statement. As such, this method is therefore ideal for use when restricted resources mean that a traditional interview is not possible. This form of interviewing is particularly useful in sudden, unexpected events. Examples include, terrorist attacks, insurance claims, or criminal activity. In many of these instances, information is needed in a…...

Introduction Nationwide telephone has been in the business of manufacturing low-cost and high-quality telephones from 2001. The company is reliant on local suppliers in order to minimize lead times and at the same time utilizing the number of suppliers. This facilitates faster delivery times and also decreasing the travel costs. In the past 6 months, Roger Stoga who is the president of the company has seen a decline in sales of the company. Subsequent to further analysis, he was able to determine the issue to be linked to a rise in the prices of plastic components, supplied by ABC Plastics. The main aim of this analysis is to ascertain why the price of the components has increased.

The means to do business was changing as people realized the phone was a quick and convenient way to order goods and services.
The rest of the world was eager to adopt the use of the telephone. Transatlantic cable, first used in the 1940s, was the beginning of the global telephone network. Telephones are now used around the world and have become one of the most fundamental tools of modern society (Hays, 1991).

IV. Evolution of the Advancement of the Telephone

The telephone, as a device, has evolved from Bell's original model into small, handheld devices that people can use anywhere. They no longer have to be tethered by cords to homes or offices. Phones are used worldwide (Museum of American Heritage, 2010).

Hays (1991) pointed out negative effects of phone communication, claiming that the telephone enables war to be waged more easily and human conflict extended along telephone lines. The time-space contiuum…...

Customers and Self-Service |
Why Customers Don't Want to Talk to You

This article written by Matthew Dixon, Nick Toman and ick Delisi (2013) clarifies why most customers prefer self-service when they are in firms and service/ product providers. As indicated by Atkinson and Cohen (2015) half of associated customers lean toward self-service while tending to post-purchase item issues. 32% like to use self-service along with access to an actual expert support representative. This information is vital for organizations as they get the chance to comprehend that connected customers have a special service demand that is specifically with a longing to make sense of specialized item issues by themselves, without expert, live help. The part of self-service both inside for firms, and remotely for consumer-facing self-service choices has come about as an emerging significance to companies and organizations. This could be highly favorable to firms from both a customer satisfaction and cost…...

Flea by John Donne
In the 1500's, Europe was a very dirty place, and fleas were a major problem. It was, in fact, fleas that were responsible for the Black Death, or Plague, that had ravaged Europe since the 1300's. However, in the late 1500's, a flea landed on the breast of a certain lady in French Society by the name of Madame Des Roches, a writer of some fame, and this sparked off an obsession with the flea as the subject of literature. hole books were devoted to the flea, and the flea became a subject for comedy, romance, poetry, and all sorts of artistic expression. Around this time an English poet, named John Donne, wrote a poem entitled The Flea, in which he metaphorically compares a flea to the act of sex.

modal time for dropouts in live surveys either short or long is the half-point mark in the survey, the researcher needs to get to the most crucial information needed early in the survey (Cape, 2010). Choosing crucial information depends on the focus of the researcher (except for demographic information, see below). Moreover, the questionnaire is a bit cumbersome and will require quite a bit of training before interviewers can use it effectively (especially sections like section F). Perhaps it would be better to put in more guidelines, simplify some content, and make it a bit more user friendly. The fewer experimenter errors one makes the lower the bias and the better the reliability (and hence validity) of the measure (Bradburn, Sudman, & Wansink, 2004; Kalton & Schuman, 1982). Some of the issues with specific sections are discussed next.

The objective of this study is to read the case Deal V. Spears United States Court Of Appeals, Eighth Circuit, 980 F. 2D 1153 (1992) and to answer the questions of whether it is lawful to monitor the telephone conversation of an employee if the employee has given prior consent and to answer if in this case whether Deal give her employer consent in this case? This study will additionally examine whether due to the recent burglary of the store, whether the employer had a legitimate business reason to record and review the employee's phone calls made or received at work. Finally, this study will consider what, under the Watkins precedent, is the extent to which an employer can monitor personal phone calls to employees within the ordinary course of business exemption of the federal wiretapping law where is no evidence of express consent here.
