Plus, change also comes with new information and we usually don’t want to go back and relearn new things. Think about it, if you did the same thing for years, would you just want to wake up one day and change everything? Most people wouldn’t because that is just not the kind of people we are. It is not comforting to wake up one day and not have a plan or a schedule in your mind. One other reason why people don’t change is because changing takes a bundle of effort and time which is two variables that most of us don’t have right now.
We may not know the same subjects as previous generations, but we are adapting to the ever changing world around us. Calling us the “Dumbest Generation” is a bit harsh considering that our generation and previous generations were taught in different societies. Our generation is the generation of technology, while the generations before us weren’t exposed to the technologies of today. Of course, no generation is going to admit to being less educated than another generation. Each generation would consider themselves the smartest, but to others that might seem farfetched.
“Franchising emerged as a business model that would allow Mad Science to expand without requiring substantial investment”. (P.563 Case B-4 The Mad Science Group) For example, one of the greatest challenges for a new company expanding its market in a new country is considered a lack of understanding of the local culture. However, franchising provides a good way to reduce this shortcoming because it uses the already established experience of the franchisors – usually are local people. in different countries, local culture is always considered as a big problem for the company because. However, franchise will be a good way to reduce those cultural risks, because franchisors are always local people.
I think that electronic devices have positive effects in terms of time and communication efficiency, but they have also caused a lot of distractions in our lives. Whether or not an electronic device is a good or bad thing depends on who is using it. However as a society, I think that electronic devices have brought many benefits to the field of communication. 3. Thoreau is trying to say that there is no work that is of any importance except for work that is necessary for survival.
The way technology has driven the last half of a century has changed life astronomically. Everyday people crave and desire the next big thing on the market. Whether it is the hybrid car or touch screen phone, the need for something more leaves room in life for unhappiness when those items are not obtained. Lao-Tzu strongly argued that when people do not want anything, they are okay with living simple. This is beyond the truth of today.
In an ever advancing world, we are constantly being bombarded with new technology. One of the most life changing pieces of technology was the personal computer. Throughout the past decade computers have advanced even more and almost everyone has one of their own or access to one at places like a school or library. With the ability to obtain vast amounts of information so simply with just a few clicks, the computer seems like such a great object. Although the computer is fantastic in many ways and has helped improve civilization’s way of living, have people all over the world come to rely on this device too much?
These conflicting views on technological advances in these novels can be related to the modern age that we live in today. Yes, there are numerous benefits to technology, but we humans cannot allow ourselves to become dependent on technology. The benefits are related to The Killer Angels: technological advances have helped make our lives much easier. For example, with the internet, we no longer have to painstakingly research information from books. The dangerous prospect of humans becoming too dependent on technology is seen in Jurassic Park.
“Into the Electronic Millenium” Sven Birkerts Most individuals, if not the world, may consider technological innovations and advances to be a beneficial aspect in our contemporary society. However, according to Sven Birkerts in his article, “Into the Electronic Millennium,” the assimilation of technology into our society has only affected us negatively. On one hand, the usage of these modern gadgets has caused detrimental effects to our daily language, altering the way we speak and communicate for the worse. On the other hand, such electric components have also provoked a loss of value for privacy as well. In accord with Birkerts ideals, I too, agree in the detrimental effects evoked from such technological advances.

The people of the New world could not be happy.
The internet has completely changed the way today’s society views the world around it. Whether it’s a Facebook status, or a firsthand news story from halfway around the world, the internet has allowed people to have their voice heard on a global level, and has allowed them to share information in a much faster, and more efficient way. The internet has become a vital part of many countries economic infrastructure, and has allowed for the start-up of a multitude of different businesses. It has also given people the ability to have freedom of speech in places where saying the wrong thing could mean life in jail. Although internet access allows for a much more connected global society, multiple governments and private corporations plan on denying this for their own personal gain.
