The breakup of AT&T's regulated monopoly over America's telephone communications, for example, led to ferocious competition in the long-distance market, producing both lower rates for customers and significant new investments in the fiber-optic technologies that helped make possible the internet revolution of the 1990s. And financial deregulation allowed for the creation of more sophisticated financial instruments that made it much easier for entrepreneurs to attract capital and played a huge role in fueling the booming stock market. If the price of deregulation was somewhat greater instability and occasional outbreaks of fraud, the benefits included accelerated growth and higher returns on investment. Most Americans thought that was a decent trade-off (Shmoop,
Legal, Ethical and Regulatory Issues of the Internet LaDeana Tute EBUS 400 – E-Business Mr. Darrell Oakland September 24, 2005 Introduction As the use of the Internet has grown through the 1990s and into the 21st century, concerns associated with security have escalated, new ethical issues have emerged, and new laws have been enacted in response. Within a decade, the Internet has transformed from an obscure medium for the exchange of military and scientific data to a global medium of mass communication and expression of all kinds. The Website is involved in numerous legal issues, ethical issues and regulatory issues. Internet users are threatened by adware cookies, adware, Trojan horses, and system monitors, which have the “capability to gather users' personal information for target marketing and other purposes, but may also result in the theft of information and a disruption of computer operations”, (Brown, 2005, p. 232). The internet has been more quickly integrated into business, academic, and personal life than any technology before.
The exponentially rapid growth of internet technology brings into our lives a connection with literature like never before, yet in many ways it has shifted the way in which we view the world. In an article titled “Is Google Making Us Stupid?,” Nicholas Carr argues that the development of internet technology as our primary source of knowledge is depleting us of the “quiet spaces” that stimulate contemplation and deep interaction with the written language and replacing them with distractions and deviations. Though he exposes the intriguing relationship this powerful medium has to our society, Carr fails to consider other aspects that cause a shift in our behavior towards written material. What we are losing, perhaps, deals less with our minds and more with our heart, the poetic center for what we value. We’ve become lazy in our efforts to contextualize our lives with the information that is so readily available to us and no longer prize knowledge as we once
The survey also found that people who regularly use the Internet but who do not regularly use so-called "mainstream" media are significantly more likely to believe in 9/11 conspiracies. People who regularly read daily newspapers or listen to radio newscasts were especially unlikely to believe in the conspiracies. "We know that there are a lot of people now asking questions," said Janice Matthews, executive director of 911Truth.org, one of the most sophisticated Internet sites raising doubts about official explanations of the attacks. "We didn't have the Internet after Pearl Harbor, the Gulf of Tonkin or the Kennedy assassination. But we live in different times now."
Meanwhile, the case study of Kodak will supplement to each aspect. The term of ‘disruptive technology’ was first coined by Harvard Business School professor Clayton M. Christensen and he suggested that it is a new technology that unexpectedly replaces the existed technology (Techtarget.com 2006). Carefully speaking, this kind of innovation means another different value network to the existed one and generates a niche market, which will eventually disrupt the existing value network and market (Wikipedia.org 2011). The explanation suggests that the disruptive technology is obviously a threat to the incumbent successful firms. It is undoubted that most successful firms have failed to compete with the entrant firms because of the disruptive technology.
Syed Hamza Amir 1 Professor Meredith Allison English 1303 23 September 2010 The Future of the Internet As our web experience continues to evolve at an exponential rate, it has provided us with more technology to publish our own content that had once been available only to the few. This rapid expansion in the ability of humans to publish new content has created a new flurry of debate over whether this is enhancing or destroying our culture. Two authors, Andrew Keen and Clay Shirky, tackle this issue with two very different conclusions. Keen provides valid points but falls short and seems like a hypocrite in his condemnation of web 2.0. On the other hand, Shirky gives a complete and thorough view in favor of our ability to publish
Abstract-- Social network analysis (SNA) is a social structure of people interacts to each other through common interest of network and graph theories. It characterizes networked structures in terms of nodes, ties or edges (relationships or interactions) that connect them. Netvizz and gephi is a tool used to detect the data in facebook account for large datasets. Big data is used to describe a massive volume of both structured and unstructured data that is so large and difficult to process using traditional database and software techniques. This paper addresses the research problem of identifying the degree of separation from a different viewpoint by considering not only the degree of separation between two normal-persons or famous-persons,
Products and Services Tencent has developed lots of different products and services after launching of QQ in 1999.

Is Technology Making us Stupid? Nicholas Carr the author of “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” writes on the effects of technology upon our culture and economy, he has published many periodicals, including The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times Magazine, Wired, The Financial Times, Die Zeit, The Futurist, and Advertising Age. Also, he is the author of two-thousand eights bestseller for his book The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google. You might consider the not only the title question, but also your own practices of interacting with information, and weather technological applications like Google are changing what it means to think and be human. Does technology advance our abilities, or does it, as Carr suggest, flatten our own intelligence into artificial intelligence?
