The internet is much quicker than any other form of communication and is also very cheap. For example e-mails are completely free to use and are delivered to the recipient (however far away) in a matter of seconds. Also the developments in software like Skype have allowed people to have face to face conversations when they are miles away from each other. This could be very important for TNC’s trying to tell their bosses in HQ about the factory and its productivity. They could just show them around using Skype.
The incident of the dishwasher greatly helped the increase of awareness that Charlie was able to have. " But today in looking art that boy, for the first time I had saw what I had been. I was just like him..." (Page 65) " This day was good for me, Seeing the past more clearly, I have decided to use my knowledge and skills to work in the field of increasing human intelligence levels. Who is better equipped for this work? Who else has lived in both worlds?
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? Computers make life far easier and many people living today probably could not function if they were sent back in time before computers were created.

{draw:g} 10/22/2009 {draw:frame} {draw:rect} Table of Contents Introduction Technology has become a thriving source of finance and communication throughout the world. The ability to integrate technology into every society will allow for all people to have equal advantages and abilities to have a part in this finance and communication. When you think about the kinds of technologies that would be integrated, don’t only think of the obvious technologies that U.S. citizen use every day, but also think about the ones that we have forgotten that mean every bit as much to us when they are taken away. An example of this would be electricity and the light bulb. The issue at hand currently has no international governing law.
What I would get rid of to improve the 21st Century (over-work) Ahh…the 21st Century. It makes one feel lucky to be alive; what a glorious age that offers us so much: cutting edge electronic technology, the internet, free healthcare and education for all, fast food, cheap air travel…But there is one thing I love more than all of this: being overworked. Today people in Britain on average work more than at any point in the past 30 years. What a wonderful improvement to our lives this has been, because we all enjoy working more than anything else, right? Wrong!
Globalisation has led to an easier life in many ways due to development, people now have more variety than ever before, technology has made things incredibly easy and quick for people. For example 20 years ago if you were a student and you had to find out about a certain topic you’d have to go through quite a few different books and spend quite a while looking into each one individually to find what you need. Now however you can just type it into a search engine and all the best explanations come straight up, in some instances you don’t have to even read it as it can read it to you. You could then say that a major cause for this dramatic break through in technology is due to the fact that globalisation has linked together so many different countries and the businesses in those countries, this has then led to an increase in competition, which then leads to increased efficiency and standards to beat the competition, thus driving up standards and prices decreasing for the consumer. However there are also negative impacts on people from globalisation.
We have become one of the advanced nations in the world, creating easier ways to get tasks done quickly. Our ability to depend on technology have given our memory a break which is what everyone wants. However it has taken a toll on how we function in our day to day activities. It has become our new air. We are unconscious of how much we use it just like how we use air.
In this new age of technology with social networks, email, and the world wide web it has become increasing easier to speak up when a grotesque event is happening somewhere in the world. People know about it and want to do something. Throughout history examples of this have been evident; one of the most recent coming to mind is Kony 2012. They started out has something no one knew about but it became known and now everyone wants to help the cause. Why not continue this trend!
Another strength that has kept Amazon.com in a successful state is the Global Brand. This organization was established as one of the first dotcoms, gaining millions of customers. This gave customers the ability to stay in the comfort of their own home and shop instead of going and waiting in long lines. In years to follow Amazon.com relieved that if they were to compete and win they would have to extend the business to countries all over the world. Included, in this they extended their lines of product to compete with the later e-retailers.
People are now able to communicate much more easily, resulting in radical connectivity, where the ability to send vast amounts of data instantly, frequently and globally has transformed life for businesses, culture and even politics. A huge part of digital technology includes social media, which has made consuming information incredibly different from how it was a couple of decades ago. Since the arrival of digital media, the conventions of communication and most senses of hierarchy have been removed, making it customary for a single citizen to be able to send a complaint to their local cinema, to be able to show their support for a charity or even to start a political movement – all through the means of social media, and therefore through digital technology. One form of digital media is Youtube, a platform that has allowed audiences to become much more empowered because of their ability to share opinions in a creative way, making it extremely beneficial for them. This has resulted in an increase in the volume of opinions being heard – some of which rightfully deserve to be, and others, less so.
