The document discusses the impact of information technology and psychology on human life. It outlines several ways that IT has advantages such as globalization, lower costs, and new jobs, but also disadvantages like unemployment and privacy issues. Psychology is defined as the study of the mind and behavior, and its uses in daily life include building relationships and self-confidence. The document then analyzes the impact of IT on several domains including positive effects on business communication but high costs, and positive effects on education through online learning but also potential misinformation. The impact of IT on society, agriculture, and banking are also summarized, highlighting both benefits and disadvantages.
The document summarizes key aspects of psychological disorders as presented in Chapter 16 of the 8th edition of the psychology textbook by David Myers. It covers perspectives on psychological disorders such as defining, understanding, and classifying them. It also summarizes several specific disorder types including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, and dissociative identity disorder. For each it outlines characteristic symptoms, perspectives on causes and explanations, examples, and statistics.
The document discusses how technology has changed human behavior and development. It explores how increased technology usage has impacted childhood development, causing issues like reduced physical activity and increased psychological/behavioral disorders. However, more research is still needed to understand the relationships between technology and these impacts. The document also examines how constant connectivity through technology can reduce social skills and "social capital" by limiting meaningful interactions and connections with others.
Social Constructivism, Technological Determinism, Technological MomentumJonathanSmith122
The document discusses different perspectives on the relationship between technology and society:
- Technological determinism argues that technology influences society.
- Social constructivism argues that society influences technology.
- A moderate view is that technology and society influence each other.
It also discusses how the meaning and use of technologies can be interpreted differently by different groups, and how social influences on technology may decrease over time as a technology gains widespread adoption and momentum.
Globalization: Definition, Perspectives and TheoriesAntonio Delgado
This document defines globalization and outlines some of its key dynamics and theories. It begins by providing several definitions of globalization, emphasizing the compression of time and space and the increasing integration of economies and social relations worldwide. Some key dynamics of globalization discussed include time-space compression enabled by new technologies, flexible accumulation allowing companies to move production globally, and increasing migration patterns across borders. The document then examines several theories of globalization, such as modernization theory, dependency theory, and world systems theory. It also discusses perspectives on globalization like hyperglobalism and skepticism. The document differentiates westernization and Americanization from the concept of glocalization.
Democracy means rule by the people. There are two main types of democracy - direct democracy where citizens directly make decisions, and representative democracy where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. The UK practices representative democracy. While elections are free and fair, some argue the UK faces a democratic deficit, with declining voter turnout and a lack of choice between similar major parties. Reforms like increasing referendums and compulsory voting have been proposed to enhance UK democracy.
Lesson 16,17 - Political Globalization (Task 1)Missws Choi
The document discusses several major international intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) that were formed by governments of different countries to promote cooperation and address global issues. It focuses on explaining the United Nations (UN) in depth. Key details include that the UN was founded in 1945 after WWII to replace the League of Nations, aims to maintain peace and security between nations and provide a platform for dialogue. It has 192 member states and six principal organs, and is financed by voluntary contributions.
2) Political Globalization p.58 & Task 3Missws Choi
International intergovernmental organizations play an important role in addressing global political issues and preventing the spread of infectious diseases across borders. As political and economic ties between countries increase, more international organizations have formed to provide a platform for global policymaking through discussion and negotiation. These organizations contribute to issues like avian influenza by distributing disease information, establishing research networks, and formulating cooperative policies between countries. They have made efforts such as subsidizing poor nations' response efforts, demanding disease reporting, planning early warning systems, stockpiling antiviral drugs, and raising funds for prevention activities.

This document discusses the biological basis of psychology. It begins by outlining the basic units and organization of the nervous system, including neurons, nerves, synapses, and the central and peripheral nervous systems. It then describes the hierarchical structure of the brain, including the central core, limbic system, and cerebral cortex. Key areas and functions of the cerebral cortex are also identified. The document goes on to explain neural transmission and the autonomic nervous system. It concludes by briefly discussing the endocrine system and some major glands like the pituitary and adrenal glands.
This document discusses the history and concepts of economic globalization. It defines economic globalization as the increasing interdependence of world economies through cross-border trade, capital flows, and spread of technologies. Key points include:
- International organizations like the IMF and World Bank help facilitate global economic cooperation and stability.
- International trade routes like the Silk Road date back millennia, though globalization accelerated in the late 20th century.
- The Bretton Woods system established rules for international monetary management in the postwar era. This system tied currencies to gold and aimed to reduce economic nationalism.
- Neoliberalism advocates free movement of goods, capital and services across borders, while limiting state intervention in markets
The document discusses several topics related to science, technology, and national development in the Philippines, including:
- A brief history of computers in the Philippines from the 1960s to present day, including major companies like IBM and Intel that introduced computers.
- The concepts of technology transfer and different types of technology from emerging to established. Technology transfer involves processes like promotion, development, assessment, and commercialization.
- The large impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on fields like education, communication, scientific exploration, the economy, and knowledge management by processing and disseminating information.
- The Philippine Electronic Commerce Act of 2000 which recognizes the importance of ICT for nation-building and supports its availability
3.10.1 Globalisation Definitions And Characteristicstudorgeog
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of countries and peoples around the world through trade and cultural exchange. It reduces differences between places as shared economic and cultural experiences spread across borders through trade agreements and tourism. While trade and tourism can make economies and cultures more similar, they may also exacerbate inequality between places that are integrated and those that are not. Overall, globalization tends to decrease differences but does not eliminate them entirely.
The document discusses the economic and social divide between the global North and South. It describes how the Northern economies were historically based on industries and manufacturing while the Southern economies relied on agriculture and cash crops. This led to disparities in standards of living and wealth distribution between the two regions over time. The document also examines some of the key issues associated with the North-South divide like economic competition and analyzes factors that have contributed to the development gap such as colonialism, unequal trade relations, and debt.
democracy and good governance based on the observation of human rights.Wilbert Nyands
The document discusses whether democracy and good governance are based on the observation of human rights. It argues that democracy and good governance are largely based on observing human rights, as human rights, democracy, and good governance are mutually supportive and dependent. Violations of human rights often coincide with a lack of democracy and good governance. However, it also acknowledges that factors like government transparency, effectiveness, separation of powers, reforms, and accountability also contribute to democracy and good governance, albeit to a lesser extent. Overall, the document provides a nuanced perspective on the relationship between human rights, democracy, and good governance.
The document discusses the challenges of reconciliation in post-conflict societies and some key aspects of the reconciliation process. It notes that reconciliation aims to re-establish relationships between divided groups, address casualties and human rights violations from the conflict, and prevent future conflicts. Reconciliation is defined as building new relationships and trust between rival groups. Truth commissions have been established to investigate the truth of past conflicts and make recommendations to further the reconciliation process. Examples discussed include South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Sri Lanka's Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission. The conclusion emphasizes that reconciliation must be implemented independently to sustainably achieve peace and harmony in divided societies.
Presentation on Background of dependency theorySharmin Sultana
Dependency theory argues that resources flow from poor, underdeveloped "periphery" states to enrich wealthy "core" states at the periphery's expense. It contends that poor states are impoverished and rich ones enriched by how the poor states are integrated into the global economic system. Some ways developing countries have attempted to alleviate effects of this system include promoting domestic industries over raw material exports, limiting imports of goods producible domestically, restricting foreign investment, and nationalizing foreign-owned companies.
The document discusses the importance of ethics and social corporate responsibility in Eastern Europe. It argues that modernity was based on separating public and private spheres, but this separation is disappearing as the private sector takes on a larger role in governance. For businesses in Eastern Europe, corporate social responsibility is challenging due to Soviet legacies and reluctance to be responsible, but governments are driving CSR efforts to give voice to marginalized groups. In conclusion, the growth of CSR shows that private businesses can no longer be considered purely private and are becoming more politically involved, requiring reexamination of traditional concepts of corruption.
Technology can be applied to solve problems through scientific knowledge. Industrial technology aims to make production more efficient through engineering and manufacturing methods. While technology provides many benefits, overuse and misuse can also cause harm if not developed and used prudently. Excessive screen time from computers, phones and other devices can negatively impact eyesight and brain development in both children and adults.
The digital divide refers to differences in access to technology between groups. It can be caused by urban vs rural locations, wealth, and a country's level of development. Improving infrastructure and technology sharing initiatives could help reduce the divide by improving access.
Aristotle made many important early contributions to psychology. He suggested that the soul and body are not separate, and that knowledge comes from experience. Aristotle proposed that the mind was the primary reason for the body's existence and functioning. He described three types of souls - plant, animal, and human - with the human soul uniquely enabling reason. Aristotle also described the four causes of things - material, formal, efficient, and final. He addressed relationships between impulses and urges, believing desire and reason determine actions. Aristotle uniquely understood the influence of time on actions and how humans can remember one thing by observing another.

The document discusses the role and impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in development. It notes that ICTs have transformed the modern globalized world and helped connect societies in a "global village." When deployed wisely, ICTs can help improve services, transparency, and outcomes in sectors like health, education, and poverty reduction. Mobile technologies in particular have facilitated new economic opportunities and services. However, ICTs also enable some risks like the spread of misinformation and cybercrime, so their development and impacts are complex with both benefits and challenges.
This document summarizes a lecture on theories of transnationalism, mobility, and development. It discusses current models linking migration and development, including the "vicious circle" and "virtuous circle" approaches. It proposes a new theoretical approach based on the political economy of development. This approach incorporates international migration into development studies and considers processes of under/over-development as drivers of migration. The document also reviews examples of transnational migrant networks like Ghanacoop and the work of Michael Clemens, who argues true globalization of labor mobility holds solutions for international development.
This presentation discusses globalization and whether it is good or bad. It defines globalization as the free movement of goods, services, capital, technology and information across borders. While globalization can create a worldwide market and foster development, it can also increase inequality and threaten social and cultural values. The presenters note globalization is like fire - it can be used constructively or destructively depending on how it is managed. They examine perspectives on globalization from both developed and developing countries like Nepal. The conclusion is globalization will contribute to sustainable development if its negative effects are addressed.
Science and technology have impacted society both positively and negatively in areas like community life, work, communication, and health over history. Key developments include the shift to farming and cities, the Industrial Revolution, suburbs in the 20th century, labor-saving devices, increased leisure time, and medical advances that dramatically improved life expectancy. While innovations have benefits, they also bring challenges like environmental destruction and ethical issues around cloning and stem cells that societies must grapple with. Overall, progress through technology depends on its positive attributes outweighing the negatives.

To study the impact of technology on psychologyshweta2804
This document is a project submitted by Shweta Adatia to the University of Mumbai to study the impact of technology on human psychology. It includes an introduction, literature review, analysis of the positive and negative impacts of social media and online gaming on psychology, and how the brain neurotransmitter dopamine influences feelings of addiction. The project was conducted under the guidance of Assistant Professor Abhijeet Mohite at Usha Pravin Gandhi College of Management.
This document discusses the relationship between technology and mental health. It outlines how technology can both positively and negatively impact mental health. On the positive side, technology increases accessibility to mental health resources, provides convenience, enhances education and awareness, allows for anonymity, and enables social support communities. However, technology also presents quality concerns, risks of digital overload, can feel depersonalized, has privacy issues, and runs the risk of addiction or disconnect from real-world social interaction. The document concludes that technology can both help and harm mental health, so it is important to consider both benefits and drawbacks when using technology in the mental health context.

Chapter 14: Question 3. How do human capital, structural capital, and customer capital differ?
ANSWER.
Human capital, structural capital and customer capital are three basic fundamentals of any organization. They differ in their roles playing for that organization. Human capital is the efficiency of a human being on the basis of its skills; more the human is skilled and efficient results in more human capital. On the structural capital is the efficiency of the organizations to provide environment in which they can increase the efficiencies of humans working for them such as data, systems, knowledge and designs. The customer capital is the relationship bond with organization products, stronger the bond between the customer and the products results in a stronger customer capital.
Chapter 14: Question 8. What approach did the energy company take to encourage knowledge sharing among its 15 business units?
ANSWER.
The approach that the energy company took to encourage sharing among its 15 business units was establishing peer groups from various units. The idea was to have employees share his or her knowledge without the involvement of leadership to avoid political aspects. Since this was unsuccessful it was decided to provide a human portal for employees where they can ask questions regarding the problems they faced with their customers and employees from other business units provides a solution to them, its kind ...
This document discusses the rectification of accounting errors. It defines rectification of errors as the systematic correction of errors in accounting records. It outlines two types of errors: two-sided errors, which do not affect the trial balance, and one-sided errors, which do affect the trial balance. Specific two-sided errors discussed include errors of omission, commission, original entry, principal, and compensating errors. A suspense account is introduced as an account used to temporarily record amounts from one-sided errors until the proper account can be identified.
Octal to binary and octal to hexa decimal conversionsAfrasiyab Haider
The document summarizes various number systems and coding techniques:
1. It explains how to perform addition, subtraction, and conversion in octal number systems with examples.
2. It describes binary coded decimals (BCD) and provides the counting table.
3. It explains ASCII codes and provides the code table.
4. It describes excess-3 code and provides the code table.
5. It summarizes Unicode and some common encoding formats like UTF-8.
6. It explains Gray code and provides an example code table.
1. File organization in databases involves grouping related data records into tables and storing the tables as files in memory for efficient data access and querying.
2. There are three main types of file organization: sequential, indexed, and hashed. Sequential organization stores records one after the other, indexed uses a record key to order records, and hashed uses a hash function to directly map records to storage blocks.
3. The objectives of file organization are to optimally select and access records quickly, allow efficient data modification, avoid duplicate records, and minimize storage costs.
The document defines expected value as the sum of each possible value of a random variable multiplied by its probability. For a random variable X that can take on values x1, x2, x3, etc. with probabilities p(x1), p(x2), p(x3), etc., the expected value is defined as E(X) = ∑ xk p(xk). An example is provided calculating the expected value of Y, the number of microcomputers getting out of order per year at a university, which is determined to be 1.4 based on the given probabilities.
The document describes a class diagram for a school management system with the following classes: Student, Employee, Examination, Accounts, and Show. The Student class stores student information like name, age, roll number, class, and contact details. The Employee class models employee data such as name, type, designation, salary and contact information. The Examination class keeps student exam results linked to their name, roll number and class. The Accounts class manages fee and expense records. And the Show class displays student records, employee information, fees and expenses.
DBMS stores data as files while RDBMS stores data in tabular form with relationships between tables. DBMS is meant for small organizations and single users, does not support normalization, and lacks security features. RDBMS supports large data, multiple users, normalization, security, distributed databases, and examples include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle. The key difference is that RDBMS represents data in tables with relationships while DBMS stores data as files without relationships.
Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behavior. There are different types of variables studied in psychology like the dependent and independent variables. Controls are used in experiments to minimize the influence of outside factors other than the independent variable being tested. Some common research methods in psychology include experimental methods, clinical methods, and systematic observation. Experimental methods use controlled experiments and the scientific method. Clinical methods involve diagnosing and treating patients in clinical settings. Systematic observation methodically observes and collects data to support or disprove hypotheses.

Prisoners should have the right to vote according to the principles of democracy. Around 2 million prisoners in the US are denied this right. While some countries and US states restrict prisoner voting, Vermont and Maine allow all prisoners to vote. The 15th Amendment states the right to vote cannot be denied based on race or past actions, but this is not applied to prisoners in most states. Advocates argue that denying prisoners the right to vote is inconsistent with democratic values of participation and that their votes could influence election outcomes.
Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Summary:
5. 16-ARID-02 | 16-ARID-10
1. Informationtechnology:
Information technology (IT) is the use of any computers, storage, networking and
other physical devices, infrastructure and processes to create, process, store, secure and
exchange all forms of electronic data.
1.1 .Advantages Of InformationTechnology:
Everyday, people use technology in new ways. Computers are increasingly
affordable; they continue to be more powerful as information-processing tools as well as easier
to use. Some of the advantages of information technology include:
Globalization - IT has not only brought the world closer together, but it has allowed
the world's economy to become a single interdependent system. This means that we
can not only share information quickly and efficiently, but we can also bring down
barriers of linguistic and geographic boundaries and countries are able to shares ideas
and information with each other.
Communication - With the help of information technology, communication has also
become cheaper, quicker, and more efficient. The internet has also opened up face to
face direct communication from different parts of the world thanks to the helps of video
conferencing. Many collaboration platforms have been built in addition to face to face
call via mobile devices like iPhone.
Cost effectiveness- Information technology has helped to computerize the business
process thus streamlining businesses to make them extremely cost effective money
making machines. This in turn increases productivity which ultimately gives rise to
profits that means better pay and less strenuous working conditions.
More time - IT has made it possible for businesses to be open 24 x7 all over the globe.
This means that a business can be open anytime anywhere, making purchases from
different countries easier and more convenient.
Creationof newjobs - Probably the best advantage of information technology is the
creation of new and interesting jobs. Computer programmers, Systems analyzers,
6. 16-ARID-02 | 16-ARID-10
Hardware and Software developers and Web designers are just some of the many new
employment opportunities created with the help of IT.
1.2 .Disadvantages of informationtechnology:
Unemployment - While information technology may have streamlined the business
process it has also created job redundancies, downsizing and outsourcing. This means
that a lot of lower and middle level jobs have been done away with causing more people
to become unemployed.
Privacy - Though information technology may have made communication quicker,
easier and more convenient, it has also bought along privacy issues. From cell phone
signal interceptions to email hacking, people are now worried about their once private
information becoming public knowledge.
Lack of job security - Industry experts believe that the Internet has made job security
a big issue as since technology keeps on changing with each day. This means that one
has to be in a constant learning mode, if he or she wishes for their job to be secure.
Dominant culture - While information technology may have made the world a global
village, it has also contributed to one culture dominating another weaker one. For
example, it is now argued that US influences how most young teenagers all over the
world now act, dress and behave. Languages too have become overshadowed, with
English becoming the primary mode of communication for business and everything else.
2 .Psychology:
Psychology is the science of the mind and behavior. The word "psychology" comes
from the Greek word psyche meaning "breath, spirit, soul", and the Greek word logia meaning
the study of something.
2.2 Uses of Psychology in daily life:
Everyone uses psychology on a daily basis, whether they are talking with
friends, arguing with a partner, or disciplining their children. Most people just don’t realize the
7. 16-ARID-02 | 16-ARID-10
science behind their decisions. Understand how your mind works helps in everyday life by
allowing you to build strong relationships and make the best. Here are five ways how:
The building of relationships: Psychology makes it easier to live with others by
understanding them more and working with their behavior. Below, University of Texas
professor James Penne baker explains one-way psychology can be used to predict
romantic compatibility.
Improving communication: A greater understanding of how humans think and
behave will help people communicate better. They will be more effective in
understanding what a person really means by gestures and actions.
Building self-confidence: By understanding more about yourself and your
personality, you can gain more self-confidence. You will learn more about your
weaknesses and can build on them.
Enriching careers: You will be able to understand your coworkers more and stand a
better chance of building friendships. It helps to deal with their actions to enrich your
career.
3. Psychology’s Impact on human life:
The science of psychology is exploring how the mind works, evaluating how
people learn, facilitating peak human performance and helping people make healthy lifestyle
choices. Psychologists use scientific research to better understand how people learn, interpret
events and make decisions. They then translate that knowledge into techniques to help people
make smarter choices in their daily lives.
8. 16-ARID-02 | 16-ARID-10
BrainScience and Cognitive Psychology
Cognitive psychologists, sometimes called brain scientists, study
how the human brain works — how we think, remember and learn. They apply
psychological science to understand how we perceive events and make decisions.
Developmental Psychology
Developmental psychologists focus on human growth and changes
across the lifespan, including physical, cognitive, social, intellectual, perceptual,
personality and emotional growth. Throughout their lives, humans go through various
stages of development. Developmental psychologists study how people grow, develop
and adapt at different life stages.
Human Factors andEngineering Psychology
Human factors and engineering psychologists study
how people interact with machines and technology. They use psychological science to
guide the design of products, systems and devices we use every day. They often focus on
performance and safety. They combine technology and psychology to improve our
interactions with the systems and equipment we use daily.
Educational Psychology
Psychologists working in the field of education study how people learn
and retain knowledge. They apply psychological science to improve the learning process
and promote educational success for all students. Psychologists working in the field of
education are focused on identifying and studying learning methods to better
understand how people absorb and retain new information.
Sport and Performance Psychology
Sport and performance psychologists focus on identifying and
applying psychological principles that facilitate peak sport performance, enhance
people’s participation in physical activities and help athletes achieve optimal human
performance.

4. Impact of technology on human’s life
4.1. IMPACTOF TECHNOLOGY ON BUSINESS:
Positive:
o Improvedcompetitive advantage:Businesses have use technology to gain
competitive advantage over their competitors. If a business uses technology to
improve on its services or products, its customers will be impressed and they will
become loyal to that business as well as invite more customers through word of
mouth. Advanced technology can result into better customer’s service and
production of high quality products or services.
o Improvedcommunication: Business to consumer communication has been
improved by use of technology. Now a business can easily communicate to its
clients to know how they feel about their services. The information collected is
used to improve on the services of the business which results into business
growth. For example, businesses can use social Medias to hold product surveys.
o Improvedhuman resource management:A business can use technology
to recruit and train new employees. Now days their unlimited Job boards online
were companies post jobs and applicants apply through that online Job
board. This simplifies the all process of hiring and it saves time.
Negative:
Technology is expensive: Even though we use technology to solve
operational costs in business and increase on productivity. To buy the
machine which will replace 10 humans to perform a certain tusk is quite
expensive. This machine will require continuous maintenance and a standby
technician to operate it and fix it in case it breaks down. So technology is
expensive as well.
4.2. IMPACTOF TECHNOLOGY ON EDUCATION:
10. 16-ARID-02 | 16-ARID-10
Positive:
o Globalizationof education:Technology has made education remote. With
the help of internet technology, online education has become a strong force in
the education sector. Now students can study courses which are provided in
other countries without having any boundary limitations.
Negative:
Exposure towrong data: Though technology has made learning so easy and
cheap, students get exposed to data which is not approved and many times they just
copy and pastes this information they acquire online without any deep research on
whether the data is correct. This has increased on the level of misinformation and
failure of exams. My advice to students, is that, ‘’ Not whatever is published online is
correct’’ analyze the data and discuss with friends before submitting that data.
4.3. IMPACTOF TECHNOLOGY ON SOCIETY:
Positive:
o Improvedthe transportationsector:Technology has made movement so
easy and cheap, technologies like automobiles, airplanes, speed boats, electronic
trains, have made moving from one place to another so easily.
o Improvedon human relationships andconnection: Technology has
improved on how we connect or discover new relationships. With things like
mobile phones, and internet social Medias, people can connect with each so
easily than before.
Negative:
Digital divide is on increase:As much as we’re embracing technology in
most developed countries, there is a big group left behind and they might
not even get closer to the way we use technology in the first world. For
example, the invention of e-wallet is a good technology which will help you
11. 16-ARID-02 | 16-ARID-10
to pay for anything via your iPhone, but as good as this technology may be,
many countries in the third world cannot use the service.
Lack or real life and friends:Yes, social networks and text messaging
technologies have played a very big role in connecting people more than
before, but what is funny is that, the number of people who spend time
alone is increasing. You will find a person spends more time in the virtual
world chatting with strangers ‘’virtual friends’’, a user will have over 500
friends on a specific social network, but they have no real friends in the real
world, WHY? Because they spend most their time in the virtual world and
give up on getting real friends, which results into loneliness and cyber-
sickness.
Virtual Reality Technology ‘’ Sickness ‘’: Now days most airlines use
this virtual reality technology to train their pilots on how to react effectively
in adverse conditions. So during this training, the pilot will be presented with
a challenge in a virtual reality form and they will be guided on how to
overcome that task
Problem:
The pilot in question has been exposed to a virtual life and if they do this for so long, it creates
an imbalance in their life. They find a problem of living the other virtual life to a real one. So
they keep on getting flashbacks, eyestrain and simulator sickness. If you spend a lot of time in a
virtual reality system that uses a low-resolution head set for displaying views, you may
experience eyestrain issues. When the resolution is too low, your eyes are forced to work so
hard to distinguish images.
4.4. IMPACTOF TECHNOLOGY ON AGRICULTURE:
Positive:
o Increasedproduction: with the introduction of genetically engineered crops,
farmers out puts have increased. These crops are engineered when they can
12. 16-ARID-02 | 16-ARID-10
stand harsh conditions as well has survived pests and diseases. They grow very
first and the farmer gets back their return on investment (RIO) very first.
Negative:
o Soil pollution:Farmers have resorted to using chemicals and engineered
fertilizers so that their plants grow faster. This has worked for the farmer in the
short run, but after a while, the soil losses its natural fertility and the farmer will
have to depend on artificial fertilizers which are expensive in the long run.
4.5.IMPACTOF TECHNOLOGY ON BANKING:
Positive
o Electronic banking: Banks have improved their services by using technology
to introduce electronic banking. Customers can use online banking facilities to
transfer money or get financial information, they can also use smart cards to
withdraw or deposit money on their accounts.
Negative
o E-cash is very easy to lose:As we try to replace cash money with e-cash, we
are faced with a problem of losing money very first. Why? E-cash is simply an
electronic file, so this file can be interrupted across the network and you will lose
your money in a second. Today there so many hackers online monitoring these
electronic file transfers, though most merchants have formulated a trick of
encrypting the files, but still these hackers find their way and access the data.
Another lop hole is the exposure of financial details to dangerous people. Most
of this information is stored on our computers. However, when you connect to
internet, your computer will be assigned with an IP Address, and an experienced
hacker can access your computer via your IP and take advantage of all your
financial details.
