The technological progress that took place over the last decades has been dazzling, overcoming even the boldest predictions. Analysts today come shy when they're asked to predict the future development in this field. Things that weren't even conceivable fifty years ago are now possible and in reach. The traditional American dream of "a TV in every home" has turned into "a computer for every person." And it doesn't stop here.
Technology has shaped even the psychological and sociological development of people in some parts of the world. Along with Gutenberg and the invention of print materials, the world has become faster and more individualistic. The previous oral traditions kept the amount of knowledge at a constant level, whereas typography has opened a new era, in which opportunities appear to be endless.

Social Media your purchase. With the advent of social media websites, many business administrators struggle to implement a workable and feasible approach of implementing social networking sites into their business models. Managers and consultants must work collaboratively to identify sound means of incorporating computerized technologies that support and foster profitable utilization of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Yet, despite the widespread and pervasive consumption of social media,
The foolishness of this reversal of priorities would be clearly demonstrated in the contrast between the results of intelligence efforts on 9/11 and those just two years prior. After the resignation of Tenet, who submitted as his official reason for departure the desire to spend more time with his family, his spokesman noted that "no one in the U.S. government was more aggressive in calling attention to and dealing with
