Business Environment Resit 2011/12

Introduction

The impact of emerging technologies in our daily lives is a constant concern that haunts us. The XXI century brought the invention of tools that improve our quality of life. These new emerging technologies also brings the investment of part of our budget to have access to them (Castells, 2004, 55-64 ). Besides the impact of these technologies have the challenge of having to plan how we can identify the time required for familiarization of the operation of applications and how to adapt to the different experiences of frustration when problems crop up in the management of applications (troubleshooting).

Discussion

We mention that the impact of technology in our daily lives has reached the school and with this one million dollar investment for teachers and administrators can familiarise with platforms that help us to obtain or enter data related to educational and technological services they receive our students (Woolgar, 2003, 20-50). The impact of technology brings with it problems in the priorities that the employees to their duties and responsibilities. Currently our work performance means that we have to rely on the acquisition purchase high technology equipment such as laptops, PCs, cell phones, "pen drives" and connection service high speed internet. Those who invest our economic resources into these aspects of the impact of technology helps us improve our quality of life, improving our working environment, noting that data and information can be found by simply connecting to a computer (Castells, 2004, 55-64 ).

The issues that brings the impact of technology is that many still fail to understand the processes, refuse to enter a technological culture and thus integrate digital learning communities. As a final thought on the impact of technology on our daily lives, we will improve our society in which we live (Elgar, Feenberg & Andrew, 2010, 15-18). What are the implications of technological impact on those marginalized sectors of our people with low economic resources?

If our technology becomes so bold that we become reliant on it to provide for our food, water, clean air, and regulation of the climate itself, critics raise concerns that what we are really passing along to future generations is a dependence on technology. Optimists are unfazed by such concerns and point out how reliant we already are on technology for our food production systems, etc (Woolgar, 2003, 20-50). However, skeptics fear that such a dependence on technology threatens the ability of future generations to meet their basic needs should the technologies ever fail. This gets to the heart of how we understand the role of technology: does technology allow us to use resources more efficiently and thus live better within certain natural limits, or does technology give us the ability to live in defiance of natural limits and dream up creative new ways to meet the needs of humans that had previously been provided for by the natural world?

So while early environmental ethicists and philosophers have warned of the environmental dangers posed by technology ...
