Communication Technology

1

Communication technology is one of the most important technology in these days, it’s because now days there are many business man who trade things with other people or having invest from other company, so they need communication technology a lot.

Communicating technology advanced a lot than before. Before if they try to communicate with other countries king or people who is far away they sent letter or go to that place and it was very hard and it took long time also. If they used birds to send the letter, they have to train their birds very well to use bird to send the letters. If they use their servant or postman it took long time and they also have to pay for them, and it was also hard to give the letter to correct places before.

Now it is different, we can send e-mail easily or have a call. Electronic devices are also very comfortable to use, smart phones or laptops. We can carry them everywhere. We also have many programs to communicate with other people, for example we have things like Skype, We chat or more other things. These programs

We also use this technology at education. At school, for example our school uses the program called ‘edmodo.com’. Teachers use this program to tell the students homework and do the quiz too. It also tells us what to study at test too.

The weakness of the communication technology is that can be used by criminal, drug seller, weapon trader or state secret can be revealed by some bad people. They can also use this technology to put virus in others computer or other devices and can hack others things. Also can use this technology for advertising things illegally such as calling people and say some things that have been recorded can also send some spam messages to you which is very annoying.

So I think communication technology is necessity because as I said, it helped us a lot in many different ways, but some bad people use it in bad ways too.

Necessity 1. The development of technology causes the development of knowledge For example, in the past there weren’t any cell phones or computers. People just relied on books and teachers so much. Also the knowledge was limited. But now people can also get information from computers and cell phones. And our knowledge is more improved and widely used.

2. Technology helps our education.

For example, we can use computer technology to do online lessons anytime we want. And we can use electronic dictionary when we want to know about new words. Finally we can use for homework and we can get information much faster by using computer then by using books.

3. Technology makes the whole worlds smaller.

For example, people get closer relationship. Call with other person to use cell phone, use messenger we can do chatting with other person. These are makes people and people’s relationship very closer.

Luxury Sometimes people’s need doesn’t rich the high level of technology For example, if we want to by computer or cell phone, these are too expensive for normal people to buy. So poor people can not buy computer and cell phone and sometimes we don’t need that much developed technology. In September 2014 iPhone 6 started to sell.

But I thought I don’t need it because I have cell phone already and my cell phone is able to use it yet and I am enough about my cell phone. Like me in world some people will not need iPhone 6.

Go to further relationship Technology makes people to get closer relationship but also technology makes people to go further relation ship. For example, to use technology make a weapon. Then other countries will keep strict watch about that country. Also there are hackers. If the technology develops very much, then hackers will do hacking to get money from other people. People are going to lazy. If I located far from my parents then I have to go to my parents sometimes but some people are lazy so they will just call to them instead of meet them.

Rich poor gap If in future people make a lot of working robots. Then we will be hard to work and earn money. Robots are strong, smart, don’t need money etc... So company boss will use working robots instead of human workers. We will get hard to earn money also we will poor if we are not boss in future. It is not only our life it is effects about community. In community the problem will be about working.

If there’s no machines in a factory, people need to work it all by their hand, so it will take a lot of time to finish one work, and factory needs to pay much than average payment, so many factory mostly uses the machine, and managers for human.

Cancer and suicide for Apple Chinese workers Have you ever bought and Apple device? People hurrying to go and buy the new iPhone, people screaming and amazed about the “coming soon”, people that when they bought an iPhone are shocked and in a hurry to try and use it, but… do we actually think about the work behind an iPhone? Do we think about the people that made it and how they worked hard?

Well, we should because if they were not there working then our iPhones would not be even sold.

Many people think that Apple is the best brand for electronic devices and there is nothing wrong with that but we should look more behind the phones and their design and function.

We should learn more about the work to make those phones and how the workers are treated.

It has been known that in the company Apple of Shenzhen, 13 Chinese workers started developing cancer.

It has been diagnosed that they had leukaemia and five of them died. The cancer which affected the workers was found out in 2010 for the first time. By an interview with Suki Chung, the director of Labor Action China, we found out that the workers had to pay their medical coverage, which is a big amount of money for them. She also claimed that benzene and n-hexane chemicals used in the assembly lines of the iPhone and iPad are likely to be the cause of cancer and also families believe it.

13

However Foxconn, the Taiwan-based owner of the factory making products for other companies, said those chemicals aren’t used anymore and there is no link between the cancer spike and the chemicals used. Therefore he confirms that the workers who had leukaemia had different roles in the company that might not even need the use of any chemical. So we have two different opinions. The actual Apple Company is worried about this fact and is taking everything really seriously where about two million iPhones a week are made by an army of 230,000 migrant workers from across China.

This is kind of a mystery but it’s not all; besides the issue of the cancer, a Chinese Foxconn worker (the manufacturer that makes most of the Apple devices) committed suicide on Wednesday by jumping from his apartment. This is not the first case because there had been a plague of suicides in the factory since years. Advocates around the world examined the conditions at Foxconn’s factories and admitted that workers frequently have to stay on their feet for long hours for assembly tasks. Many live in horrible dormitory and often work every day including weekends. Though many workers prefer longer hours and worked 60 hours per week so they can make more money they weren’t paid as they were supposed to and we know this by an interview with them.

Unluckily, this is the truth and tragedy behind the phones that we use every day, which are like a necessity for us.

Would it be better if an amount of money that we pay for the phones would go to the workers?

Technology in fashion Don’t you want to wear shiny, beautiful, wonderful and cool clothes?

People don’t use technology only for computers, we also use technology for fashion. There are lots and lots of Technology fashion that had been invented. It can be an advantage, but also disadvantage. Some people think that technology in fashion brings the coolness of the person, and it makes person look more unique. But on the other hand, people say that it is just a waste of money, because even they make it, people wouldn’t be able to buy it because it would be too expensive for normal people. How about you? Do you agree with it or not?

Technology in fashion is we use technology for our clothes, accessories… It can make the person more cool and unique by wearing those things. Many famous singers and models wear those cloths for special days. Even not with cloth, we also have for bags, umbrellas, shoes, glasses, and jackets. There is a bag with TV, so that we can watch TV programs when we have our bags. But the disadvantage of that is it would be really heavy, because the TV is actually inside the bag. For shoes, we have a tiny TV attached to our shoe.

For umbrellas, we can watch a YouTube video in the rain; the screen is shown at the water-repellent cloth. Also we have some special glasses for watching videos. Like this, there is lots of invention of Technology FOR FASHION. There is another invention, not shining nor watching TV or videos. There is a transformer clothes. When we click on the button, and then the cloths will move, change its shape. This was first invented in 2007.

15

Then, who created this wonderful fashion? A Chinese designer called ‘Vega Wang’, she participate in The Creators Project, to create this EL collection (Technology in Fashion). She wanted to show audience a visual exhibition, so she borrowed an idea from UFO, and many production companies from Hangzhou helped them to complete the exhibition. She said the inspiration for those collections comes from the idea of universe, and its title is called ‘Alpha Lyrae’. It is called ‘Alpha Lyrae’ because the name Vega is one of the common names for Alpha Lyrae, so she always felt a strong connection with this name. Also, Lyra is goddess of weaving. So since she worked with fashion, she always wanted to name a collection after her. Vega wanted to print patterns of nebula, which is a cloud of dust and gas, which produce new stars, in space, exactly onto the fabric. But then she noticed the best way to separate light and cloth was using materials with white and clean surfaces, and combining that with *EL material that has a blue glow on it that looks unusual, like coming from future. They had a sheet of EL paper, and its basic color is blue. They also have some sheets that animations are printed. They are animated like stars and clouds when people turn on. They first move the design they have into Al on the computer, and then people can cut the sheets according to Vega’s design. Each clothes have a controller, and it has the animations and the programming.

Like this, technology is not only for computers it is also for fashion. If you thought technology was only for computers or other cool things that is not related to fashion, maybe this is the time you could think about it.

100$ Laptop In our lives, technology is really important. At school or academy, we learn technology but if we want to learn technology, we need money. That means, we will have some problems with technology if we don’t have much money. So what people made was a 100$ Laptop and that makes people who have less money able to learn technology and communicate.

It made by Nicholas Negroponte at 2005. He made that project and said “We only need to pay 100$ to make the laptop that I said.” So he made XO-1, which is a 100$ laptop all people can afford. We can do many things when we use that laptop. They can know news from all over the world and also, they can even study. Nicholas Negroponte said “There is two way to make cheap laptop. Cheap ingredient and use cheap workforce and for workforce, we will find at China and India. And we want to use the way that use less ingredient and make good thing.” And he and other people spend 3 years to develop this laptop. We can use laptop by moving a pedal which stick under the school desk and that pedal makes electricity and the laptop can work using that electricity. So if we don’t have to pay money for electricity.

17

There were some problems with the 100$ laptop, Bill Gates said “This 100$ Laptop is not good for education.”and also, other people’s reaction was negative, Craig Barrett, said that “People that buy 100$ laptop, can only get 100$ information.” 100$ information means really low and bad and not enough information. So Nicholas Negroponte said “Then, I will make this laptop price 50$.” So this education technology becomes more complicated and complicated.

But a few years later, they began to see the results, students can use the internet really well and also, they could study use that laptop.

They can teach their parents who cannot read and they can know what happens all over the world. And also, if they have enough battery, they also can play some game or do anything they want.

Over time they improvedthe design of the laptop. First, they used green to make this laptop, but they start to use other colors like orange and sky blue. And also, they put some motion of monitor or some keyboard to make it more comfortable and improve and also it help the children to use it easily. And also, they put handle to make transfer the laptop easier. And for that part, 100$ laptop is more comfortable.

And for now on, many countries want to export to their country and that means that many people agree with purpose of laptop and skills of the 100$ laptop. If we export to country to country, many disadvantaged people can learn technology and help them for adapting at life.

If you that this is a good idea, you could buy at least 2 because you can have one for yourself, and you can donate another one for disadvantaged people. But in 2007 unfortunately, in America and Canada 100$ laptops sell at 180$ not 100$.

BIOTECHNOLOGY: ARE GMOs REALLY SAFE? Over the years scientists have been experimenting with altering the genetic material of living organisms using genetic engineering techniques.

Some organisms that have been genetically altered or modified include insects, plants, fish, mammals and even micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeast. These are the main source of genetically modified foods, they are also widely used in scientific research and to produce goods other than food.

GMOs have become quite common around the world, particularly in North America. As claimed by by the USDA, it is approximated that GMOs are now present in more than 80% of packaged products in the standard American or Canadian grocery store. The most common GM crops include alfalfa, canola, corn, cotton, papaya, sugar beets, zucchini and yellow summer squash. The majority of developed nations around the world do not consider GMOs to be safe. In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan and all countries of the European Union, there are significant restrictions or bans on the production and sale of GMOs. In the United States, the government has approved of GMOs based on studies done by the same corporations that created them and profit from their sales. More and more Americans have started to take matters into their own hands and making the decision to opt out of the GMO experiment. As a result, genetically engineered crops have steadily spread to certain European countries and many countries in Asia. become But are GMOs really safe for human consumption and bodily health?

According to investigations done by the studies by the Institute for Responsible Technology the AAEM (American Academy of Environmental Medicine) advises doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets for all patients.

They cite animal investigations showing organ damage, gastrointestinal (relating to the stomach and intestines.) and immune system disorders, accelerated aging, and infertility. Human studies reveal genetically

modified foods can leave residue behind inside our bodies, which could possibly cause problems in the long run. For example, genes that have been inserted into genetically modified soy can transfer into the DNA of bacteria living inside of us.It is also been proved that the toxic insecticide produced by GM corn was found in the blood of pregnant women and their unborn children. Several health problems have increased after GM crops were introduced in 1996. The percentage of Americans with three or more chronic illnesses has spiked from 7% to 13% in just 8 years; food allergies increased dramatically, and disorders such as autism, reproductive disorders, digestive problems, and others are continuing to rise.

Besides having many negative effects on human health GMOs are also harmful towards the environment. According to the IRT, herbicides used on GM crops can harm birds, insects, amphibians, marine ecosystems, and soil organisms. They diminish bio-diversity, pollute our water resources and are very unsustainable this has a tremendous impact on our environment.

Certain herbicides have been shown to cause birth defects in amphibians, embryonic deaths, endocrine disruptions, and organ damage in animals even at very small doses. More and more GM crops has also increase week tolerance to herbicide, only pushing people to attempt and use more and more herbicides or pesticides that potentially harm our environment.

Now that you know all these facts about GM food, the next time you go to a grocery or super market, think twice before you pick any food up. Are the foods you’re buying contributing to bad health and bodily problems?

ROBOT CLEANER: NECESSITY VS LUXURY ?

The Dirt Dog or Robot Cleaner had been invented for cleaning the floors. Now, the technology has improved so much and is very common in the world that it is even used in the cleaning, so people can live an easier life. People think cleaning the house is actually a waste of time and is very hard labour, therefore the inventors invented this very surprising and ingenious device. You just have to leave it in the house and it automatically cleans the room. It saves a lot of people’s time and allows them to be doing something else rather than cleaning. However, is it really necessary? Also, is it worthy to spend money on that? As you can already see now, there are a lot of discussions of whether the Dirt Dog is a necessity or luxury.

Dirt Dog is a circle-shape cleaning machine that cleans the floor. It made our lives better by replacing robots to do hard labour. This machine has a lot of advantages.

First, operating the Dirt Dog is also very easy. There are two ways to operate it. One is using the remote control and one is just an automatic cleaner. The remote control one is using the remote control to say the direction.There’s a laser attached to the remote and the Dirt Dog will follow the laser point and clean the floor. This function will make cleaning the house much more fun and even kids can help their parents for cleaning.

For the automatic one, you just have to turn it on and leave it on the floor and it will clean the floor by itself. So that’s all you need to do. Furthermore, this machine helps us to save our valuable time. From now on with this Dirt Dog, you won’t have to bother cleaning your room floor. Instead using your precious time on cleaning, you can do something else.

You can even clean the house while you are away. In addition, the vacuum is very strong so it is very effective when cleaning. It can hoover up all the dust. Moreover, people don’t have to worry about this machine falling off down the stairs or bumping to furniture, because it will automatically turn away if it meets furniture or a stairs.

So it will not fall down or get stuck on the furniture. Lastly, this machine can go under the furniture where we can’t reach so this machine is very useful and effective at cleaning. Therefore the dirt dog provides easier and convenient life to us.

21

However, even this machine is very useful and helpful, it has some shortcomings.

Firstly, it is very expensive. So not everyone can afford. The lowest price is $ 150 and the highest is over $ 1000. Even the low quality one is also expensive. Therefore although it is very effective and convenient, if every people can’t afford to use it, it is valueless. So the dirt dog is not economically friendly.

Moreover, some people brought up the question that “is it worth to spend that much money on the machine for cleaning the floor?” The answers can be varying according to each people’s perspective. Some people might say it is waste of money if you are spending so much for only cleaning but also, some people might say that much money spend is worth it because nothing can ever return the time and we can not buy time.

Once the time is gone, it is gone forever.

Therefore the answer will be different for each person since they all have different ways of thinking. Secondly, it is runs by batteries and runs out of battery very fast.

Also, if it is out of battery for a long time, the next time you charge it, the amount of battery that this machine can hold will be less. However, most dirt dogs can charge themselves automatically. In addition, the dirt dogs are very small. Small can be an advantage but also can be disadvantage. If it is too small, there will be smaller space to store the dust and you might have to use a lot of time for emptying the machine frequently. So this can be very annoying and bother people a lot. Moreover, when you use them, you have to remove some things on the floor that can damage the robot such as power cords, papers, other things that is big which cause problem during sucking dusts for the machine.

Furthermore, it can also bring some bad effect to us in the future. Technology is now very developed so every people want to live the world easily by using the technology to do things such as cooking, cleaning, driving, etc. And they will rely and be dependent on the technology. But if people start to do that, in the near future, the movie called “Wall E” and “The Lorax” we’ve seen will become reality soon. Furthermore, people can lose jobs because the robots are replacing them, which can cause severe economical issues for labourers in third world countries. Therefore although there are a lot of advantages about this robot cleaner, as all things do, there are also some shortcomings and factors to improve.

As you have read, there are endless discussions of “does the dirt dog a necessity or luxury”. In my personal opinion, I think it is luxury, because although this machine is very creative and helpful product, it still have quite high price. Also I believe that using energies for those little things just to live life easier, I think it is actually wasting our energy. So there are many disadvantages of the dirt dog, at the same time, we all have to admit that it is very helpful, saves our time, and makes our life easier. Therefore buying a new dirt dog can be a very exciting and attractive. But just make sure, you should think why you are buying it and consider the pros and cons about this machine.

22

Interview of People who actually Has an Experience Of Using the Dirt Dog: “I have a dirt dog at home. Although it can help us cleaning the household, it’s very slow, since when it bumps to something, it turns little by little. And sometimes it can stuck in the carpet and if we don’t move it, it will catch a fire. So we haven’t used it very long” - Mrs. P. Linden “ Dirt Dog was good but just… when it bumps to a wall or any furniture, it take a really long time to turn around. Moreover, since the dirt dog is a shape of circle, it can’t clean the corners.”

- Sarah Ledwid “When there’s people inside the house, you can’t really use it because it’s very noisy.

But it’s very convenience when you are outside the house because it actually cleans the house very well. So it saves our time. We now can clean the house when we are out. But when it stuck on a obstacles, you can hear very loud noise.”

- Jung Sang Yun

Important of tech Technology is the very important for the whole world. Tech can help many people to live more easier, think about there are no tech in all world. I think all the people will get panic. People use tech for making things. Telephone, too find something and ect.

There are many good things about tech and bad things about tech, first tech can help many people. As I said it. If there is no technology we have to go for somewhere and talk to him. But if there is tech we can talk with telephone. Internet can help us. We can find. And because of tech. there are many upgrade medical skill, but in bad about tech is technology can destroy the environment easily and. Thing tech there can be many war like nuclear.

Ipads In School According to some articles there are some schools that use ipads as a notebook for all the subjects they have instead of breaking their backs with giant backpacks that weigh 50 kg from books. Having ipads in school has some benefits like you don’t have to carry a giant bag of who knows how many kg of books, it is lighter and an easier and more organized system, but some people have commented that ipads are also a distraction for students, instead of paying attention and socializing they are distracted playing a game or chatting with someone. But according to another article a mother wrote about her son with autism, the ipad has a system called siri which has been the best friend to the kid because siri is a voice recognition system that helps you with the actions you do in your ipad or iphone instead of doing it yourself and also it tells you things like the weather or other things you don’t know because the kid can get obsessed with something and people can get annoyed so siri which is as a system that doesn’t get annoyed can help the kid to talk with someone without it getting annoyed.

Ipads also work a search engine instead of causing trouble by booking the computer lab, they can do it by their selves in their classrooms, but according to a page there is a comment from someone that the children cant use their personal information in the ipad if they have to be sharing it with other kids. To solve this, kids could bring their own ipads so the other kids can use their personal information on the ipads.

Great content viewer, the Ipad is the perfect mobile device for viewing content. It really is a great way to experience the web, watch podcasts and videos, read books, and do research.
