  • Technology, and the hype that surrounds it, is changing the way we speak. But we don't have to turn into drones, all spouting the latest i-word. Chris Bowlby says it's time for the techno-bullied to fight back with their own subversive speak.

      First of all, using technology does not make one a drone and secondly adding words to a language does not make that language any less as useful but instead makes it more diverse.

    very interesting article Daniel. But make sure to use new articles as with technology things change very quickly. This article was dated 2010. But good start.

  • Secondly, governments hold confidential information. Both data from its individual citizens and country specific security data. As all information becomes digital and available to anyone who cares to see it, security breaches are inevitable. And while many corporations have had scandals regarding customer information being leaked or hacked, governments are more susceptible, as they rarely attract the best IT people in the field as employees. Again, they tend to react after the fact rather than proactively.

    One interesting point that this article makes apparent is the way information is being gathered for news reports, more particularly the way technology has enabled news reporters to simply rewrite other reporters articles or posts, this is particularly prevalent with the advent of Twitter as a news source.

    I would say that while I agree with this article in terms of what it is saying about distanced communication in business being a result of the way technology has developed, I would also say that in this situation the benefits outweigh the problems by far.

  • "I think it should be of real concern to consumers. If you translate it into monetary terms, it has to be in the millions of dollars. "The implications from a study like this are massive. Consumers in New Zealand are not making enough noise about it yet," he said. In one case, a supermarket offered bottles of coke for 99c, but displayed the wrong size bottles under the sign, and charged the shopper $3.

      These paragraphs talk about the implications that the technology error caused in the society.
  • In another, a cooked chicken was advertised on sale for $6.99, but the original price of $11.99 was charged at the checkout. In this case, Pickering said, the mistake was spotted and the customer was given the chicken for free. But more often, retailers respond badly when errors are pointed out. Shoppers who took part in the study reported sales people "rolling their eyes" when asked for a refund, having to fill out forms to get a $2 overcharge returned, and being offered cash refunds only when the original purchase was by credit card. "The errors are happening right across the retail area, particularly large-scale stores," Pickering said. "When you're pumping 100 items through a till, it's much easier to make a mistake and much more difficult for the customer to keep up with the things flying through the scanner."

      This part of the article discusses the social impact on the society as a result of the development in a technological problem. It talks about the economic importance of this because a lot of consumers are losing money which transfers to millions of dollars in total.

  • Pickering said he'd like to see companies here make efforts to solve the problem. "There's an opportunity for these big businesses to say, 'The problem exists, we haven't been able to sort it out completely, but we going to do something about it'."

      What feasible solutions can be applied to overcome problems? This paragraph talks about the fact that the supermarkets don't knowthe solution but are trying to work it out.

  • t's a definite evolution in technology - going after the internet gateway, not the end machine," Mr Santorelli told the BBC in an email. "We see these leaps in concepts every few years in cybercrime." Team Cymru had contacted law enforcement about the attack and informed ISPs with a lot of compromised customers, he said.

    I chose this article because it's has close connection with this course. The invention of AVG invisibility glass relates to both social issues that the efficiency of CCTV in public places might be reduced and it will become harder to stop discrimination, also ethical issue that the privacy of a person might be protected. The use of technology that relates to infrared LED light is also worth further learning and investigating.

Stephen Hawking: Humans evolve slowly, AI could stomp us out - 0 views

    We think of ourselves as evolved creatures. It's just that sometimes we forget how slow that evolution is. Along comes Stephen Hawking to remind us that artificial intelligence might just evolve a little quicker than we're prone to. The result could be the end of our evolution and, indeed, the end of us.
  • dentonlamb on 01 Aug 16
     
    Scenario: Human design a robot that is more intelligent than us. It realizes that it can evolve faster than us, and so no longer has any need for us, leading to the death of the human race. Social and ethical: The main point in this article is that we will develop our own ends. That we will develop a machine that will have the capability to perhaps kill us. Stake Holders: Steven Hawking is a stake holder in this article as he is the one who suggested that we should be thoughtful about our development of intelligent machines. Humanity: Robots could become more powerful than we could ever be really fast, and so end us. AI companies will have to worry about and have ways to prevent this. IT System: Currently we do not have the technology to enable this level of complexity in both Hardware and Software, however Moore's Law states that we are getting closer to this with every year.

    Telecommuting is a practice in which an employee works at a location-usually, but not always, one's home-that is remote from the actual business facility at which he/she is employed. Under this arrangement, the employee maintains close contact with coworkers and supervisors via various forms of computer, Internet, and communication technology (i.e, electronic mail, telephone, computer disks, etc.)
