To start off, I am not entirely the biggest sci fi enthusiast. I know nothing about pop culture or aliens and such. I think this is why I am so intrigued by Ready Player One already. It has a simple plot yet is filled with so many hidden complexities I have yet to learn about. Some parts of the book might as well be in a different language: Middle Earth. Vulcan. Pern. Arrakis. Magrathea. Ringworld. I have no idea what these foreign words mean so, I am constantly looking references up and…

and loved learning how to use data analysis and computer skills to solve problems and answer questions. As someone who wants to have a career in economics, a field that looks at data and uses quantitative tools to address social problems, I enjoyed learning about applications of statistics in various areas of study, from psychology to history. I am especially interested in strengthening my applied knowledge of statistics, data analysis, and computer programming. While I can learn about these…

In preparation for the upcoming release of the Star Wars: Episode VII, Disney has deemed today “Force Friday” and unveiled a series of toys and other items related to the film. Part of this event introduced us to Sphero’s latest robotic creation, Star Wars droid BB-8. BB-8 is the cousin robot to Sphero’s flagship product of the same name and the more rugged app-enabled robot, Ollie. The adorable robot taking the world by storm is actually the third robot to come from the Sphero workshop. Like…

America’s Gift to Our Generation America has given us many gifts, but have you wonder which one is the most important? Technology is an important role in our generation. Everywhere you see there is technology. To began, last generation there was technology but not used like today. Today, my school provides everyone with chromebooks. Where we can use google for projects or research information on a topic. We save trees by using less paper. Technology is a great way to express yourself by…

5.1 Effect on Rate of Adoption: Speed Up Adoption The effect that the observability of the relative advantage will have on the rate of adoption is positive. Because this product looks in the most part, like a typical shoe, minus the laces, it is important that Nike® gets as many people to try these shoes on as they possibly can. The tur observability of the features and advantages that this product has over any others can only truly be experienced once they are on the feet of a consumer. It is…

extensive amount of time learning about various companies to design the system does not interest me. Not only do they complete research they need to prepare a cost and benefits analysis to present to the company. If the system is approved, the Computer Analyst will oversee the installation of the new system and resolve any issues that arise. This job appears to be more research and less hands on developing of the program, which is not how I want to spend the majority of my time. Another…

While trying to figure out how to start this discussion piece, I came across an article called “The Stereotype Stereotype,” by the American Libraries. The article reviews the transition of the library field from a male dominated field to a female dominated one in the 20th century. As a male individual looking to enter the library field, I haven’t given thought to the stereotypes. I think it would be quite interesting to identify the modern stereotypes of male librarians in American culture…

Extraversion vs. Technology Usage Technology has become a fundamental part of our society, it is impossible to ignore its impact on media, politics, and other aspects of our culture. A society without computers, tablets, laptops, etc. is completely foreign to most teenagers and young adults. Most people born after 1990 grew up in an era where the World Wide Web was in practical use. We are surrounded by technology on the daily basis, so it is only right to examine technology impact on…

A copious amount of people have stopped reading books altogether. We as a society have gotten so accustomed to having all the answers at the tips of our fingers, through our computers and even cell phones, that we can no longer stay enthralled in physical books. As Carr said in the passage, “as we come to rely on computers to mediate our understanding of the world, it is our own intelligence that flattens into artificial intelligence” (Carr). Technology has slowly changed the way our brains are…

Technology has altered our world and continues to grow as our world grows. Society has become dependent on technology and technology changes to adapt to people’s needs and desires every day. Technology has made our lives much simpler. We have seen technological advances in health care, business, education, and even sports. Technology has changed the way we experience sports in different ways. The use of apps to stream live games, the use of replays, and the use of fitness technologies are all…
