It is influenced by educator’s age; by positive and negative experiences in prior technology use; by fear of unknown information; or it could be even dictated by the school.

Very few people seem to be concerned with the technological…

The immediate problem TD is facing is that consumers’ preferences are changing based on the upgraded technology nowadays. The underlying problem is that TD cannot satisfy all consumers’ needs. By analyzing the internal and external environment, Porter's five forces and PEST show TD are suffering lots of external threats (Appendix 2, 3); Diamond-E suggests that TD prefers to using new technology in its products and services at the same time(Appendix 1). It is more advantageously for TD to catch…

meet their expectation the person rejects it and may even be revolted by it. The driving force behind Pixar is not creating realistic worlds but exploring new worlds through believable characters and stories. Pixar is aware of the limitations of technology but they constantly try to push beyond it. One of the guiding philosophies Pixar followed for Toy Story (John Lasseter 1995) and other films is product essentialism (Herhuth 48). Product essentialism is a philosophy that every product is…

In Natural Science, there are many inventions that were discovered to solve a problem. Many of today’s inventions…
