technology continuously emerges and develops, the challenges faced by many businesses in different industries similarly increases. Before, business competitions focus on marketing strategies to attract customers and clients. This includes print advertisements, television and radio advertisements. Every business deal has to be transacted manually. In this way of doing business, there are not much channels to use to be able to make or maintain a business' success. Time and devotion to thinking of marketing strategies that can be effective in gaining customers and clients are the major tools in competing with other businesses, all of which usually involves manual process of doing business such as performing business travels and lots of business meetings. This is especially true in the industry of product manufacturing and selling.
However, in the emergence and continuous development of advanced technology, there have been rapid changes in the way business is done. Everything seems to change….

White (2010) highlighted some important problems that many are experiencing within medical and billing processes. She noted " billing mistakes can cost your practice money, frustrate your patients and even put your relationship with insurance providers at risk; however, the….

Technology and Warfare
World War I demonstrated a lucid transformation in how wars were fought. One of the most obvious technological developments of this time manifested via the weaponry used. Tanks and machine guns had a tremendous impact on the way that soldiers engaged in warfare and influenced what it meant to be a soldier. Mass production and the development of flying machines also had a grave impact on modern warfare and the speed at which weapons and vehicles could be made and replaced.
So much of World War I is connected to trench warfare: armies on all sides created trenches on the perimeter of the western front, starting from the body of water that divides southern England and northern France to Switzerland. These trenches were enforced with barbed wire and stations for machine guns. Trench warfare was directly responsible for how long the war went on, because it easily created a….

Business Organizations," describe how recent technological developments are impacting the organizational structure of a 'software house'.
The internal organizational structure of a business is one of the key elements in predicting if a new, particular venture made by the business will succeed or fail. However, in the computer software industry, another key component is thrown into the mix and the friction between the internal workings of an organization and the external business environment. Computer software is one of the most volatile markets because of the rapid nature of technological development and change. What was previously a necessity for computer consumers can rapidly be rendered obsolete by shifts in technological development. Conversely, an effective new technology or software might not 'catch on' because it is incompatible with all currently existing popular hardware systems used in many businesses and schools. Furthermore, individuals outside the immediate software industry may be resistant to changing….

David Pogue's column, entitled, "Fisher's Tiny New Camcorder," introduces a new product brand that markets video recorders sans the conventional video tapes. This new technology, called the "tapeless camcorders," functions both as a video recorder and as digital camera. Tapeless camcorders, in order to record images and videos, use memory cards that are capable of storing data for a few minutes (Panasonic brands can record up to 10 minutes of video). Pogue addresses both the advantages and disadvantages of tapeless camcorders. Indeed, tapeless camcorders are revolutionary in that it provides camcorder users and consumers with lightweight and easy-to-handle video recording devices. Furthermore, it is easier to manipulate than video recorders that uses tapes, primarily because takes a while to rewind or forward certain images in the video, unlike memory cards, which enables users to select among the images available in the video footage. Pitfalls that Pogue mentions about the….

This were then replaced with larger big band orchestras as technology allowed such large groups to be clearly recorded, "As the swing era began, shorts were made of many of the top orchestras," (Yanow 2). Big band orchestras began showing up in all the major Hollywood productions. They featured pre-recorded songs where the musicians lip singed. It is interesting to have such a crucial period on film. The Swing Era "was fortunately captured for feature films and short subjects at the time it was all happening," (Behlmer 1). Big bands became incredibly popular in feature films during the 1930s and 40s. Benny Goodman, "The King of Swing," had a movie- Hollywood Hotel in 1937 "the full orchestra plays an abbreviated version of that quintessential Swing Era arrangement of 'Sing, Sing, Sing' in the film," (Behlmer 1). From big Hollywood productions came popularity on the small screen. As televisions became the….

For example, recent innovations in knowledge management systems software has been praised because it enables users to do more than search for information and store and provide access data. Knowledge management software is a tool of empowerment because it allows users "to create and share expert profiles and submit questions to be answered by the pros. Knowledge management systems have to be continually updated. Expertise management software is inherently dynamic, and it puts the burden on the software -- not the user -- to sort through information and determine its value, and its author's merit as an expert. And because most expertise management systems point to content rather than store it, it requirements are minimal" and more cost-efficient (Kaplan- Leiserson, 2008, p.1). To deploy the value of such a new type of software, however, a manger must not simply say to him or herself: 'a less costly and more….

19th and 20th Century Surgical Fixes

During the 1800s, surgery had become a common medical procedure due to the discovery of anesthesia which was used in reducing pain during surgery.[footnoteRef:1] In addition, technological fixes were in place for correcting medical conditions such as the removal of tumors. During this period, medical practitioners were able to describe the locations of structures in relation to other structures in the body which ensured they knew the organ's positions and could conduct surgery of various body parts easily. [1: Porter, R. (1999). The Greatest Benefit to Mankind: Medical History of Humanity from ntiquity to the Present. Fontana Press.]

Following the in-depth understanding of human anatomy and use of antiseptics as well as anesthesia, towards the end of the 19th century, surgeons started performing new types of surgery including dissection of the abdomen, brain, and spinal cord.[footnoteRef:2] In line with this, by….

Technological Globalization Methodology
IT as it Links to Corporate Strategy

IT is essentially at the very heart of new and innovative business strategy. With such rapid advancements in technology continuing to unfold, it is crucial that IT be at the center of development and design for any organization, especially ones entering new global market environments as businesses continue to expand internationally. IT departments help keep organizations at the forefront of corporate strategy (Arora et al., 2004). As such, "information technology is playing its significant role in the betterment of organizations" (Ahmed et al., 2012). It is strengthening corporate strategy on a global scale. Technology is thus helping drive new and innovative strategies for expanding market environments. In their research, Ahmed et al. (2012) found that "global vision is positively correlated with IT" and "IT and global corporate strategy are positively correlated" as well. This ultimately suggests that innovative IT departments will facilitate….

Technological Convergence in Various Mediums
In the current era, which can be referred to as the Digital Age, the use of technology in our lives for every little purpose has become inevitable. Considering that, in almost every aspect of modern day communication, technology has become an integral part for the world to communicate. The advancements in the fields of digital communications in the past century have witnessed everyone around the globe to have come closer to each other, quickly and effectively. Since the time when the telephone was first invented, communications technology has progressed drastically and has come down a very long way.

Today, we live in a convergent world where there is continuous reforming of all methods of communication and information to adapt to the enduring demand of technologies. The use of gadgets and gizmos like cellular phones, laptops and wireless internet is very common and every day more and more….

The cable modem is also being considered a hub for Voice-over-IP (VoIP) as well. The cable model could in fact become the new platform of digital content delivered into the home (Fowler, 2006).
Creating Synergy

Inherent in any approach to creating technological convergence is the need for creating enough agility and flexibility in the design to support the multiplicity of needs customers have (Bores, Saurina, Torres, 2003). This has to be accomplished while sneering a high degree of integration and connectivity across all the associated technologies in the new product. This is apparent in how rapidly smartphones are gaining adoption, as the integration of digital content, voice technologies and enhanced screens are making smartphones grow exceptionally fast compared to other technologies today (uan, Gopinath, 2010). The creating of synergies has to be based on a tight integration of these factors together to ensure the highest levels of usability and reliability in….

Education is being revolutionized by the use of tablet PCs and smart devices as well. The iPad is now considered by many college and university students as the preferred approach to getting their textbooks delivered as well (Weisberg, 188). Thankfully the day is soon coming when all textbooks will be delivered electronically to the device of a student's choice, whether it is an Amazon e-reader like the Kindle or Fire, or to an Apple iPad, iPad2 or subsequent generation of tablet PCs they are planning today. Instead of having to have a backpack stuffed with 50 lbs. Of books all that will be needed is a folder and a slim line iPad or Kindle to carry all textbooks from class to class. Universities continue to experiment with teaching courses entirely on iPads with Georgia State University's obinson College of Business and Hult International Business School distributing entire course material including….

lassroom chat sessions and emails through rudimentary programs could be used to promote proper digital etiquette, just as letter-writing basics (which are now essentially obsolete in many cases) used to be taught. Other programs exist for assistance in mathematics at all levels, and the ability to have interactive visual representations of abstract concepts is priceless.
The transfer of knowledge from existing to newer technologies (3a) will probably be one of the most difficult recommendations to uphold in the classroom on a regular basis (NETS 2008). This would require the instructor to maintain a current knowledge of technological availability and advancement to a higher degree than would be possible while also maintaining traditional learning goals, lesson plan development, etc. While it is important for instructors to remain generally abreast of technological advancements, especially as they become available at the specific institution where the instructor teaches, this should not and cannot become….

From the first generations of this technology to its current iteration, latent semantic indexing is proving valuable for tying together seemingly unrelated events through the use of linguistic modeling and probability theory. Determining the scope, relative urgency or lack thereof, and the potential threat internationally all can be ascertained through the parsing of unstructured content obtained from surveillance. Using this technology it is going to be possible to outsmart terrorists before they strike, replicating their knowledge network to an extent they themselves are not even aware of. In this respect, knowledge becomes a major deterrent by being able to understand how terrorists make decisions and thwart their actions before they can ever begin. Speed and closure of security strategies based on this level of knowledge is nearly impossible for an adversary to respond to, hence its potency for battling terrorism globally. Determining context and its role in defining linguistic modeling….

Expanded Efficiency in Service of a Diversified Customer Base

IT plays a huge role in adapting corporate strategy in order to increase the efficiency and service towards a new, and more diversified consumer base. Essentially, "greater efficiency can be achieved by dividing the overall problem-solving effort into tasks, showing maximal interaction" with the new market environment (Arora et al., 2004). IT must take over and assign esearch and Development tasks accordingly to better understand the market. Through comprehensive investigation of new markets, IT can then provide the most successful strategies to go after the primary characteristics of the chosen market demographic. IT strategies that are proven successful can then serve as a model for other firms. Here, "the idea is that &D investments by a firm spill over into other firms, thereby increasing the productivity of &D in other firms, or directly improving efficiency and productivity in other firms"….

When referring to historical events, the terms "modern" and "contemporary" have distinct meanings and implications. The choice of title for a historical event can vary depending on the time period it falls within and the perspective of the historian.

Modern History

Modern history generally encompasses the period from the late 15th century to the late 18th century, characterized by significant social, political, and technological developments. Events within this era are typically titled to reflect the broader historical context and the major themes or goals of the period.

For instance, the "Age of Exploration" (15th-17th centuries) highlights the period of European maritime discoveries and....
