There is supposedly a new telephone that supports the Sony game playing experience coming out, running under the Android OS, found under the website Cnet.com. The main stakeholders here are those who look forward to a gaming telephone, so basically it can run from kids to adults that look for a phone with all this phones capabilities. This development will change the life of gamers who can now take a system that can work as a psp and a phone at the same, and also an mp3 player, picture taker, and other big upgrades to the psp, play station portable. The biggest impact is the development of a new Android phone. This phone combines game play and a cell phone all in one, and the quality of game play is much higher than all phones that have come out so far, which begs questions to be asked, will the phone, which runs under Android, have problems with battery time? Will it be able to have such good game play and be able to function as a fully functional phone, without lag time? If this phone fully functions as a gaming system and a phone, then there will definitely be success to the Android Company, and Sony as well, these two companies will thrive from the money that they will make. Since the phone functions as a computer, its processor is required to be high, especially since it will be playing video games, and the RAM must also be high. The processor and RAM, or random access memory, both define the speed and capability of this cell phone/gaming system. It all comes down to the specs and the scrutiny of the stakeholders, those who will be using this cell phone

I liked my own work XD

A system of electronic mapping which allows many different types of data to be layered onto a single image is being used to improve healthcare across Rwanda. The digital maps, called Geographic Information Systems (GIS), are designed to compile information from numerous databases and use it to both track and predict outbreaks of disease.

A system of electronic mapping which allows many different types of data to be layered onto a single image is being used to improve healthcare across Rwanda. The digital maps, called Geographic Information Systems (GIS), are designed to compile information from numerous databases and use it to both track and predict outbreaks of disease.

A system of electronic mapping has been developed that allows different types of data to be layered onto a single image. It is being used to improve the health care in Rwanda. These digital maps are called Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The database is compiled of information from different doctors working on cases of malaria. This brings up the issues of reliability and integrity. The information in the database needs to be reliable enough for the doctors to use in treating patients with malaria. It affects both doctors and patients, but the patients are being affected the most because they are the ones being treated. If the information is inaccurate, the patients may be placed in dangerous situations.

The stakeholders in this article are lawyers, clients, the software developers, and law firms. The social and ethical issue is people and machines, more specifically, the fact that software is replacing the work of "armies of expensive lawyers." The area of impact is business and employment. The issue here is that law firms are now starting to use this new software in order to replace spending a lot of money of many lawyers to get the same job done. Law firms are able to save their money by investing in this software instead of multiple lawyers. They are also able to save time because the software is able to go through information faster than humans are able to. Clients are also able to save their money because they are paying law firms less to get the same job done. This is a chain reaction. The software developers are also able to make more money now that this is becoming more popular because they are able to continue building on and improving the software they have now and then selling it later on. The issue is that lawyers are being replaced by this new software. A job that used to take 500 lawyers, could now take 1 lawyer, along with this new software. This is an important issue to pay attention to because eventually it might lead to unemployment, even though there are no signs of it now.

This was a pretty interesting article and I actually enjoyed reading it. You seem to have hit all the points and from the article what really stood out to me was when Bill Herr said,"People get bored, people get headaches. Computers don't." This is basically the issue that we are faced with when losing jobs. For those jobs that are repetitive is is more efficent and time saving to have a robot rather than a person doing the job. You hit this point by saying, "A job that used to take 500 lawyers, could now take 1 lawyer, along with this new software." Though I wonder if this is completely a bad thing. You say it is and important issue because it can lead to unemployment, but isn't it also the case that new jobs would arise? Would those jobs be able replace or be more than what was lost?

A mobile phone-based health project is helping the Peruvian military to keep disease at bay.

"What IBM has shown is that with some simple off-the-shelf components and some clever software, telemedicine can give patients back one of the most precious things their treatment takes from them: their time."

But not everyone on dialysis now needs to visit the hospital every other day. Jonas Drawitsch lives 40km from Heidelberg's children's clinic but thanks to a system set up by IBM, he puts in his six hours of dialysis during his sleep and doctors check his progress at a distance. Every day Jonas takes his blood pressure and weighs himself. The measurements go via bluetooth to a mobile phone which then sends the information to the hospital.

"nce a week at a pre-arranged time, Olive sets up the complicated looking equipment her end. She then phones Victor to make sure he is ready to receive her call and that his computer is switched on. She then calls him up, and they have a face-to-face consultation. While Victor sits on his bed in his semi-detached home in Middlesex, Olive can check his breathing, heart rate and temperature and watch out for any early signs that his body is rejecting his double lung transplant. "This allows us to be there for him," Olive said. "

"The doctors studied 100 rheumatology patients and found the teleconference diagnosis was 97% accurate."

The Open Medical Record System (OpenMRS) is providing countries, such as South Africa, with an online patient medical record system.

This article is about the need for OpenMRS in developing countries such as South Africa. This is necessary because it will help improve how people are treated. By knowing about someone's medical history, it can help decrease the spread of diseases such as HIV and Aids.

The issue is that there is a lack of open medical record systems in developing countries. Because of this diseases are being spread when they can easily be prevented. The thing that people were doing that gave rise to this issue is that in some countries, diseases were being spread at a faster rate then in others because of lack of background medical information. the impact that this has on people is that people in developing countries are spreading diseases at a faster rate. So diseases such as HIV and Aids are spreading in developing countries such as South Africa because of lack of medical background. The stakeholders are patients. The IT system is open medical record system. The area of impact is health. The social and ethical issue is equality of access. By having a medical record of everyone, people will be able to be treated equally because the doctor's will have their whole medical history.

The breakthrough is your mobile phone, the house call of tomorrow," says Dr. Jay Sanders, a protege of Dr. Bird, referring to the possibility of sending images from a high-tech personal digital assistant device.

"The global economic slump is prompting IT staff to snoop on colleagues, suggests research. A survey of IT workers by Cyber-Ark found that 35% of those questioned had viewed confidential information, such as salaries and redundancy lists. "

Could this be a good lead article?

This article is primarily concerned with the announcement of two companies, Tieto and Siemens, joining in an outsourcing contract. According to the article this is done in order to increase the business benefits. In the perspective of business, the move is more profitable, and allows both companies to expand globally in term of the audience. The two companies are well known, especially for certain groups of people, so by joining some aspects of their business, they will be able to join their individual audiences. By the companies working together and using employers from both businesses then they will be able to generate a larger acceptance and recognition. Globalization makes this possible, and optimizes the profit and efficiency of both companies. However, it can lead to problems involving the jobs of the people who work at either of the two companies. Tieto, specifically, is using forty of the workers from Nokia Siemens. This means that jobs will be lost from the people who work at the original company. Instead of giving the jobs to people at the headquarters, the jobs will go to the people off site. This will benefit the companies, as it is the most beneficial business scenario, but will take a toll on the lives of the unemployed. However, the amount of jobs that are being added in one company and taken away in the other company is very small in comparison to a much larger company that needs to expand greatly. The use of VOIP and the internet itself allows the smooth interaction between the two companies and with the growth of IT, more and more methods will be introduced for the companies to interact without leaving their respective office. Because Nokia and Tieto have been partners for several years, they have been utlizing these methods of communication that are different from having everything on site and going to meetings in person. Yet, they have decided that the partnership, using outsourcing, is the best possible way for both companies to grow. Thus, outs

This article deals with the situation of Electronic Health Records in relation to Health Care. The use of this Information Technology according to the article has done very little to improve the health care service and those who have health care. Records and studies have proven that the use of this software has be associated with western states. Stanford researches have shown that the increase use of Electronic Health Records has not improved the quality of heath care services. This is caused because of the software's highly complicated software that is currently being interacted and used with doctors that aren't well trained with the system. Because of this lack of knowledge and skill of the system, doctors could not use all of the capabilities of the system. Overall, the article argues that the government should focus more on the quality of the Electronic Health Record software in relation with how doctors approach it, rather than just getting and replacing Health records with Electronic technology. There are a variety of stake holders in relation to the Electronic Health Record software. Those doctors who do not know how to fully interact with the system are the main stakeholders. The lack of training and the lack of full interaction with the system does not allow for the doctors to use the software to it's full capabilities. Another stakeholder would have to patience who have their medical records on these Electronic software systems. They have to rely on the doctors using the software to keep their data and to keep their records to date. However, another main stakeholder would be the government who is currently trying to create a better health care system by providing doctors with the Electronic Health Records. Because the government has good intentions to create a better health care system and a better medical situation for patience, they are being affected when they are unaware that this software is not being used to its full capabilities. Because of this,

the health care system is not changing or becoming better. Social and Ethical issues are presented in the Article. The first Social and Ethical Issue presented would have to be Reliability. The government is relying on these Electronic Health Record systems in order to create a better health care service for those in the United States. However, this reliability is currently being challenged when doctors and those who work in relation to the IT system are not able to work with it to its full capabilities because of its challenging and highly technical operations. Another Social and Ethical issue that arises is digital divide. The government is in pursuit to allow and get all doctors to use this system in order to remove the divide and create a better health care service. Solutions are given in the article, where current researches at Stanford say that they should focus on training those doctors to operate their systems or the Electronic Health Records to create a better health care service.

Shifting from paper to electronic medical records has long been cited as a way to improve access to information in the health system. Both Google and Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) have unveiled online medical records platforms, but the health industry has been slow to change.

Shifting from paper to electronic medical records has long been cited as a way to improve access to information in the health system. Both Google and Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) have unveiled online medical records platforms, but the health industry has been slow to change.

The social/ethical issue in this article is people and machines because doctors are now using medical databases to organize data. A major issue was lack of knowledge and that the information used to be all written. This disabled doctors from looking at medical records, which is why they began to use electronic databases. Clearly the area of impact is health and the IT system is medical data bases. The stake holders/people that are affected are the doctors because they can now locate information easier and patients because they can be helped faster. Using these databases had a huge impact on society because things were changed. Information is now stored differently and doctors can now work better.

"The underlying problem," he says, "is how you can increase their wealth and reduce their poverty and reduce their illiteracy, and improve their health care.' "And what I'm postulating is that this is the technology that will enable them. If I didn't have it, it would be an uphill battle. Even with the technology it's an uphill battle. But I have a tool. There is hope. I can reach them in ways that have not been possible before."

Who would think that the US State Deparment would be interested in Twitter's downtime?

In this article, co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak talks about robotics and artificial intelligence and how he hopes that robotics will excel and will be used for specific functions in the future. If this happens, an issue of reliability may arise. If people rely on robotics to a great extent and the system ends up failing, various jobs will be affected, possibly leading to major consequences.

The stakeholders are customers, human workers, factories and big product companies. The social ethical issue is reliability. The scenario is robots used in business. The IT system is factory robots. The issue here is that due to lack of money, robots cannot be used in factories which will lower the amount of products made.

It is important to fully examine the issue of reliability in this context. When using artificial intelligence in the factory workplace, those installing the robots must be mindful of the possibility that the robot will not be reliable. Reliability, therefore must be tested extensively to make sure that it is fairly high.
