At the same time, the ability to rapidly share information, to comment, and even to view advertisements for products that might otherwise have gone unnoticed is in many ways the inevitable step of the development of the human consciousness. We are social beings that have always worked towards building better connections in our cultures and civilizations. Some attempts have been decidedly counterproductive, perhaps most of all the attempts to silence individuals within a society and limit the free flow of information. Societies that don't produce a lot of noise don't produce a whole lot of anything else of lasting value, either.
If noise is a reflection of activity, then the noisiest civilization or society is also the busiest -- not necessarily the most productive in terms of moving humanity further along a trajectory towards "goodness," however that might be defined, but certainly the most productive in terms of attempts. The rush of cars on the highway, the camera cuts and sudden volume shifts of television programs and their commercials, and above all else the wonder and breadth of the Internet and its many diverse methods of...
It is perfectly valid to note that single sounds become harder to pick out the more noise there is surrounding them, but it is equally valid to point out that the perfect sound has a much better chance of coming into existence if more and more noises are being made. Our culture is one that celebrates individuality and personal fulfillment, and this means that everyone needs to be able to make their own noises. The Internet and the modern world provide platforms for doing this, and while a great many noises might sound abhorrent to one person's ears, they are sweet melodies to another.
When Seneca discussed the noise of his society, he noted that there is no real peace in stillness, for it is in the quite times that anxieties are able to bubble to the surface. While noise might have served as a distraction in his time, however, in today's world noise is seen as an opportunity for voicing anxieties and concerns, and for purposely bringing them to the service. The noise of the modern world is only a problem to those unwilling to have a hand in making it.
S. However, Russia continues to treat noise exposure as a minor problem. American physicians have associated some seemingly unrelated conditions to sound exposure. Long-term exposure to transportation noise has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk (Babisch, 2006). Hearing loss can occur at even low levels of sound that occur for an extended time (Sisto et al., 2007; Reuter et al., 2007; Dobie, 2007). Noise related hearing loss can occur in
Communications This age is often referred to as the information era: the last two decades have given birth to some of the most staggering advancements that the human race has ever been capable of -- advancements which have changed the way that we live, do business, stay healthy, fight disease and defend our nation. It's vital to have a comprehensive and concrete understanding of some of the more basic concepts
Noise hazards in the workplace are a common occurrence; they can be effectively addressed through a series of measures that include such simple actions as moving the machines into different spaces or using software enhanced sound maps to design working spaces. This paper will discuss a workspace area that is 10,000 square feet, contains 12-foot high concrete block walls, and a flat metal roof. The shop contains a variety of
Noise Reduction Medical care institutions have come up with various strategies to reduce noise generated within their facilities. However, this has remained quiet a challenge. The situation has never been rosier even in the private rooms within such facilities. Matters have worsened bearing in mind that hospitals have become increasingly open with more liberal visiting hours and policies that permit cell phones and other devices (Cmiel, Karr, Gasser, Oliphant &
Noise Reduction Information technology can be harnessed in a litany of inventive and novel ways so as to reduce the overall noise level in a hospital environment. This report will list a number of real-world and already-used examples that can be used with moderate to little investment on the part of the hospital. Just changing procedures and timings of certain things using IT technology, including hardware and software, is surprisingly
Nursing Research Utilization Project Proposal: Hospital Noise The level of noise in a hospital is a serious issue for the nurses and the patients. Surveys have been created in an effort to determine if the noise is bothersome, what kinds of problems it causes, and whether there is anything that can be done about the noise levels. It is important not only to identify the problem, but to determine what can
