Language: She uses common english language, that can be easily understood by the general population. There are some hardly used words, but she provided definitions. Bias: She gave an example of both positive and negative benefits we can get from social networking, I did not find any biases. Contradictions: I agree for most of the part of her article, except when she said, that the antidote for sharing online is more sharing online, that people will act reasonably when everyone they know is watching them. I beg to disagree, because if that is true, then how come there are still a lot of people oversharing online, despite knowing everyone is watching them.
When initially conceived, Iridium wanted to create a global communications network which would allow consumers to transmit voice, data, fax and paging through telephone transmissions to anyone located anywhere around the world at any time. The reason causing Iridium’s failure which was shortly after its launch was a mixture of several factors. Iridium’s key competency was its initiative in creating a global communications network by taking advantage of its high technology resources. However, Iridium falls short is in its marketing and sales. Initially, Iridium defined its target market as “anyone who might require wireless telecommunications”, which was too broad.
GLT Task1 WGU GLT Task1 Information technology is a driving force in globalization and changing many aspects of how people live. India is a rapidly growing country and in 2011 59% of Indian households are reported to have a cell phone. (Kurtz, 2012) Before cell phones in India, only the privileged had access to landlines, and even then they had to wait years to obtain. More people have cell phones then toilets in India.

‘’Time and Distance Overcome’’ Being a non-fictional writer as she is, Eula Biss makes it perfectly clear that this is no walk in the park for the reader. From the very beginning of the essay that explains how the telephone was invented in the US, which automatically makes the reader think this is an essay that only includes knowledge on how the telephone was invented, but later on you discover how Biss makes an unexpected turn in the story. It really makes you stop and think that something beautiful was something extremely horrifying in the past, also Biss plays with both the essay – as well as the historical genre when she writes about the painful faith of black Americans in the late 1800s and the early 1900s. The essay genre is known
The Text states that Moliere wrote many different types of plays and they were well known for their timeless characters, which is still well known. The article also states that Wilbur’s approach to translation is informative and he often gives importance to “rhyming solutions”. I find it interesting that he argues that creating natural verse is a matter of patience, and creating rhymes that sound new. The article stated that at one point Wilbur had a fear of unintentionally overlapping verses, this shows the possibility of verses may have been more limited than it is
The mobile phone has received much attention from social scientists as it represents the advanced technological breakthrough during the modern times and portraying the lifestyle of modern people greatly. Since it is an important electronic gadget of the modern people, sociologist Georg Simmel established a theory of how modern people being “swallowed up in the social-technological mechanism” (Simmel, G., n.d.) and showed his pessimistic attitude towards modernity. Georg Simmel (1858-1918) was born on March 1 ,1858 in a Jewish family, at the intersection of Friedrichstrasse and Leipzigerstrasse, where many social groups and social movements arise. It was a crater of modernity which shaped Simmel’s view of the world. He studied philosophy and history in the University of Berlin and graduated on Kant in 1881 with a dissertation.
According to the Pew Research Internet Project (January, 2014) the number of American adults that own a cell phone is 90%. As stated by General Omar N. Bradley (personal communication, 1948, Vol. 1), “If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.” Depending on how technology has impacted or is a part of daily life, it can influence society in positive ways as well as negative. The progress in technology has had positive impacts on interaction with long distance relationships to start. Once before, communicating with a loved one overseas could take days or even weeks.
There is always a risk when experimenting with unknown science and technology: Will the invention become a success? How is the "audience" going to respond? Are there any hidden effects, negative or positive, which may later occur? This dilemma is presented in Eula Biss' essay "Time and Distance Overcome", where Alexander Graham Bell invented the world's first telephone in 1876. It was a major breakthrough within technology, which paved the road for the later inventions of the television and the computer.
