No one discussed the fact that any of the systems that they were looking at and whether those systems would help or satisfy our needs. As a
Warren states to Nick “we don’t want to overestimate our customers on this”. This is in reference to possibly having an early rise in the sales of the games, but no continual market. In any of the videos, there was no mention of who CanGo wants to market their games to. There is no mention of a market study or who their market even is. Who is their customer base?
Cody Janowski 12/2/10 English Comp Assignment 4 The Internet has undoubtedly changed the way people live their lives. Any information we could possibly want- and more- is at our disposal, and has made life for us incredibly convenient and easy; some, however, might say too easy. One of these people is Nicholas Carr, author of the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” featured in the July/August 2008 edition of The Atlantic. Carr argues that the Net seems to be slowly demolishing our abilities to concentrate on one subject, as well as contemplate information, based on the ease of access to everything the Internet provides today. I agree with Carr to an extent; however I would say that his theory most certainly does not apply to everyone.
This article is a direct response to Nick Carr’s argument. Maria Bustillos points out the flaws in his argument while supporting the fact that the Internet is indeed making us smarter and has been for years now. She believes that our brains are adapting to this new technology making it easier to obtain new knowledge. She states that the Internet is actually training our brains and making them stronger. By this she means allowing us to learn more in a shorter time frame.
In the argument “Tapping into Text Messaging” by Janet Kornblum, says teens, techies and other early adopters leading the charge to text say it is a great way to communicate when they are too busy to talk or when making a call would be rude or impractical. Just like being in the class room when there is an important incoming call, texting back is a more necessary way to get back to the person instead of disrupting the class and wasting learning time. Texting only takes a few seconds to do and could turn a 10 minute phone conversation into a 1 minute conversation. Text messaging can easily be discreet while being in the class room if turned off or on silent. As long as the student remembers to do so, their phone will not cause a distraction in class.
* The stunts are routine and outdated, and suggestions for improvements are unwelcomed. * Management does not listen to employee concerns. * Management shows partiality. * Schedule prevents employees from spending time with their families.

Legal and Contractual Issues: SEC is guilty of legal and contractual issues in regards to the Orion Shield Project. It is evident that SEC failed to meet contractual obligations.

Tevin Hutchinson 11/10/2012 English 102 Technology plays a huge role in our everyday life. I do believe that technology has made our lives easier, but it also has made us more dependent on the technology itself. When using the internet for a dictionary you could easily get distracted. Anyone can put anything on the internet, so what you find might not be accurate. Most people find that looking things up on the internet is distracting because you are already on the web so why not check YouTube for a funny video, or update your status on the social network.
David Foster Wallace states, “Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise control over how and what you think (Carr 195). According to Carr, “The seductions of technology are hard to resist, and in our age of instant information the benefits of speed and efficiency can seem desirable beyond debate” (224). Unlike machines, human beings possess free will. People can choose to limit internet usage. They can choose to engage in deep thinking activities.
They can’t help anyone or anything. Being illiterate the person can’t go far in life, for example getting a good job. Are there any jobs out there that don’t require someone to be able to read? I certainly can’t think of one. There should be no excuses for being illiterate; there are so many educational possibilities these days that it shouldn’t be a big deal for someone.
