The Influence of Software on The Modern World
The digital influence of software has brought convenience to everyday activities by creating a seamless integrated experience across all channels of daily operations. A new structured approach in the form of software has created a variety of interactive relationships reflected in a variety of industries. This paper aims to reflect the impact of software on the medical, transportation, and financial industries.
In order to understand how software has been able to influence and change our society, it is important to have a full understanding of what software means. According to Discovering Computers 2003 “software is the series of instructions that tells the hardware how to perform tasks” (Shelly). The two, hardware and software, are the two key technologies in computing. However, for a long time they were inseparable. To be clear, machines like ENIAC (Electronic Numerator, Integrator, Analyzer and Computer) and …show more content…
Is this a new opportunity for identity theft? Is it ethical to have a database containing the general public's DNA? The Federal Bureau of Investigations claims that by creating and expanding a national DNA database reflects in lower crime rates across the country. On the other hand, a majority of individuals agrees that there should be regulations that structure a software containing a DNA database (Ross). Much like any field of technology ethical concerns continuously create opportunities to improve software in the medical field. Software has advanced in such a way that saves the most possible lives. Not only can it create a better understanding for one's identity and ancestral origins, but also it can detect early indications of any mutations that can lead to life threatening
