Josh Haning Mr. Rogers English Final 05/31/2011 Us Stupid Google Making Is As times change, so must our methods of dealing with them. The evolution of media has changed the way we absorb information from writing to radio to television and so on. During these trans-formative periods, skills are lost and skills are gained; but to label the internet as the catalyst for the degeneration of our intelligence goes a bit too far. In his article ”Is Google Making Us Stupid” Nicholas Carr argues that, in its current form, the internet is not conducive to the kind of deep thought required when reading a long article or novel. He feels that while the internet is extremely useful, it is designed to distract as opposed to focus the mind.
Refusal to accept this fact will not stop this change, rather it will leave an individual frustrated and unable to keep up with the rest of the computerized world. In this fast paced world, adapting to new technology is essential, new and faster ways of human contact have changed the way we relate to one another and refusal to adapt will only leave one behind. The early 2000s introduced us to social media with the now almost defunct Myspace website. It was the first opportunity we had to create our own image in cyberspace, by allowing us to customize our own page
Legal, Ethical, and Regulatory Issues for e-Business Websites Introduction From the loss of customer information to ownership rights of pop music, ethical issues about information are cropping up in many unexpected places. The ethical issues involving business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing (DW) are particularly subtle in their complexity and implications, but they share some common characteristics with other IT-related issues (Hackathon, 2005) There are many ethical issues facing IT professionals today. Many issues are hidden, but one issue that is clearly visible is the unintentional disclosure of personal information, which can possibly lead to identity theft. “In the first half of 2005, several major companies—from banks to retailers—have confirmed that data about several million persons (either customers or employees) had been stolen.” (Hackathon, 2005) The information located in this data was full name, addresses, social security number, driver’s license number, credit card information, and family member information. Most of the occurrence of data records exposed was in the hundreds of thousands.
Contemporary Nonviolence and Conflict Resolution Modern technology has altered the ways that people engage in both peaceful and violent interactions, as well as the conflicts which result from them. Indeed, the internet is capable of instantaneous long-range communication of various media, resulting in increased opportunities for peaceful dialogue. Similarly, weapon technology is increasingly powerful and widely available, enabling violent interactions on an unprecedented scale. Unfortunately, these advances in technology have outpaced humanity's abilities to manage and resolve conflicts[1]: the ”Nonviolence" and "Conflict Resolution" paradigms are outdated with respect to modern technology, and therefore there are potential situations in which they are not applicable. In particular, the "Nonviolence" paradigm provides valid insight into the nature and dynamics of most conflicts in the world with the exception of those involving nuclear weapons; the "Conflict Resolution" paradigm, on the other hand, remains applicable in nearly all cases.
