greater leisure time, but also the things we produce during our work life
are no longer our 'own,' in contrast to an agrarian societies where people
own the food they produce on their lands, and make only the clothing and
things they need to survive. We receive wages for the goods and services we

The rise of cities during the Industrial Revolution, describe how
technology actually contributed to the growth of cities during this time

world, and thus are more 'cosmopolitan' in their collective culture as a
result.

Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill. Defining politics and science today has a different meaning than it did throughout history until the 20th century.

In today's world governments do not just work on the predefined agendas that politics used to work on, now
Science Fiction Film Comparison In the world of science fiction, anything and everything that is imagined is possible. Aliens can travel across the galaxies and come to the earth and be aggressive or friendly depending upon the story being told. As fantastic as these works are, within even the most bizarre scenarios there is a grain of realism. Some pieces of science fiction, whether written literature, television, or films, have inspired
Technology Acceptance Model Using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to Assess User Intentions and Satisfaction on Software as a Service (SaaS): The Value of SaaS Software as a Service (SaaS) was researched by Benlian and Hess (2011) in an effort to determine its value to companies.
