Assignment #3

Significant Events in Society to Innovations in Technology

The grounds of innovation in technology are to solve problems, fulfill needs, or satisfy wants. Hunger has been the major dilemma in the world. To have a quality of life, better living conditions, and solve the problem of hunger, technology serves as the human tools.

A lot of people see technology a way out to some of the problems, troubles that exist in our world. It is true that technology can be used for good, but with the new advancements here comes the new challenges issues, one that humanity are vigorously trying to overcome. We should overcome the challenges for us to live harmoniously.

We define innovation as a new way of doing something. It is all about creativity. Creative Idea is not just a single imagination. It is a result of wide-ranging idea of many things. In order to come up with the best possible results of innovation there are six diverse innovation views that generally looked-for to be integrated in to one clear point of view. These are three outsider view points and three insider perspective. For most people innovation in technology means new technologies or new products. What comes in our mind when we say innovations in technologies these are computers, telephones, cell phones, and more. There are so many technologies, and since there are a lot of innovations when it comes to technology. For that reason technology are endless. Of course the impact of these devices on the development of the modern world has been tremendous. With these innovation in technology our society would not be what it is today without the progressive development of technology.

When talking about the Information Communication Technology (ICT) there are many issues to be considered and the role of ICT in our daily lives. Innovation in technology can acquire a never-ending variety of forms and there are also poles apart people made those innovations. By that innovation in technology derived in different sources. With the scientific innovations and in hundred of years of build up technical know-how the innovation in technology has began. In the early decades the development of new technology was itself a key source of competitive advantage.

Considering the internet. As the coming of the new millennium, the internet is developing in our society, our economy and our technological system. It seems that the coming of internet brought a change to the life of people. However, no one knows for sure how far, or in what direction, the internet will evolve. But of course no one should underestimate its importance. Over the past century and a half, significant technological developments have created a global environment that is drawing the people of the world closer and closer together. The internet has created new and innovative ways for people to shape and share their identity, and express themselves. However, to some people, the internet can appear to be a modern day of something to fear. With up and coming developments in the web, it has been very useful to everybody, to all the professionals up to students. It is very obvious that today all information are available in the internet just a snap of a finger. Depends on how fast you internet connection is. Before internet can be only for communication purposes, but now everything is possible with this technology. In addition, the rise of online social networking, shopping, and other online interactions that ask people to share a large amount of personal information have led to a number of risks that every internet user needs to bear in mind. During the industrial revolution, we learned to put motors to work to magnify human and animal muscle power. In the new Information Age, we are learning to magnify brainpower by putting the power of computation wherever we need it, and to provide information services on a global basis. Computer resources are infinitely flexible tools that networked together, they allow us to generate exchange, share and manipulate information in an uncountable number of ways. The Internet, as an integrating force, has melded the technology of communications and computing to provide instant connectivity and global information services to all its users at very low cost. The impression brought by the internet in our society is tremendously a big shake experience by mankind.

The technology is very critical because it is fully embedded on how people work and the innovation in technology application can be a significant source of differentiation. With the innovation in technology arise market competition take place. One of the significant even in society to innovation in technology is the market competition between the providers and technology users. The numerous releases of technology products of so many technology providers, that society were sort of panic because they were amazed of the new technology coming out in the market. With all of the different kinds of technology coming out, technology users or people in the society were uncontrolled. Especially the release of so many technologies in gaming, teens, particularly small kinds become addictive in different they engage themselves 24 hours, which is very harmful to an individual. Even parents, they are some also parents that are being driven by innovation in technology when it comes to gaming. The popularity brought by this innovation in technology in the world of gaming has thrown a big impact to our society.

Another significant event in society to innovation in technology is in the field of medicine. Whatever breakthrough products and technology the primary concern are safety and reliability of the technology. The commitment of providing safe, reliable products is the major concerned in the invention of technology in the field of medicine. For how many past decades there are a lot of dreadful diseases are coming out and many people dies because there is no cure for there illness. Those illnesses are considered uncurable in that time and many people were hopeless whenever they got that kind of illness because they believe no such thing or anything can cure them. But in today’s century there are a lot of new products in medicine brought by the innovation in technology has brought hope to those illness. For example is the tuberculosis, before people who got that kind of illness will surely die, even those wealthy person who got that kind of disease they cannot do anything. However, now tuberculosis, also known as TB is curable in this time. Lucky are those people who got that illness in today’s generation because they is now curable in just a month. A lot more of innovation in technology in the field of medicine. Though there is no technology that can give human 100% being alive, still with this innovation in technology they were give a chance to extend there lives. An additional significant event to the innovation in technology is the invention of the alternative gasoline of jeepneys, cars and other land transportation. Remember the technology that I illustrated in my second assignment? The separator of hydrogen and oxygen. That technology is already available and invented, I don’t know if it is the same that was featured on the television. The separated elements of water can be now used as gasoline. Aside that it is affordable, it is also environment friendly. I had interviewed an engineer this product was invented by a Filipino but it was not supported by our government and it sold in the other country that is why that technology was used by other country.

In the field of military. It has also a contribution to the innovation in technology. Looking back at the successes and failures of the modern weapons and communications systems used in the recent war with Iraq, the episode of innovation follows the soldiers who actually used the technologies, and the engineers back home who developed them. The episode 4 of Hi-Tech War investigates how a new generation of weapons is forever altering the political and technical reality of combat.

Consider this episode 4: Hi-Tech War. Hi-Tech War is a step-by-step account of the technology used in the second war with Iraq, painting a vivid portrait of the front lines via the recollections and commentary of soldiers, military leaders and weapons engineers. From the opening strike and the Shock and Awe campaign that marked the commencement of the conflict to the Karbala battle and the seizing of Baghdad later on, the program spotlights the challenges of the troops faced and the devices and techniques used to overcome them. It also explores the actions that didn't work, putting it all in the greater context of combat in the Information Age.

This war has destroyed many lives of civilian people in Iraq. It was a tragic moment on that time and many people where on shocked of what is happening. It was a headline of many different new papers, and television, and many media personalities where after for that report. This also shows that innovation in technology has no good when used in war, though there intention is for peace.

These are not the only observations to be made. Recently, many advances in technology have been made, creating a new world of possibilities. Our challenge is to figure out how to use technology - both the existing and the emerging - for good, and how to assure its access and use in the most democratic way possible.
