The overall topic of Steven Johnson’s talk, “The playful wonderland behind great inventions,” was connection. The thesis for the talk was that everything that we enjoy today, has a connection to its origin. Johnson argues that inventions aren’t always designed for its intention. We often times end up with life changing inventions by something as simple as a flute made from animal bone. Steven Johnson was arguing that not all inventions come from serious concentration. Some inventions can result…

The mock press release from The Onion satirizes how products are marketed to customers by hyperbolizing the advertisement along with the featured customers’ reaction to the product. “‘What makes MagnaSoles different from other insoles is the way it harnesses the power of magnetism to properly align the biomagnetic field around your foot.’” This statement seems like the advertisers are trying to ‘hype’ up the product, hyperbolizing it so that these MagnaSoles appear more than they actually are.…

One career that isn’t usually thought to have too much to with technology is policing. But actually, just in the last couple of years major breakthroughs have been made that can make it easier for police officers to keep us safe. Brand new data systems have been developed and officers now have more ways to communicate with each other than ever before. And new…

In 1967 a man named William F. House who was a doctor and a medical research, invented cochlear implant. His first cochlear implant surgical happened in 1961 but the device he used had rejected his one patient but House never gave up on his researched. House had never explained himself on why he was interested but I believe because House had experiences a lot and meeting different people. House attend The University of California Berkeley, University of Southern California and after two year…

Rosetta was a wonderful and useful spacecraft. Results of Rosetta’s mission were very interesting and helpful to the astronomers. The scientific instruments involved in Rosetta’s mission were very supportive in collecting data. There were lots of people longing for Rosetta’s mission. Rosetta’s timeline starts off with Rosetta being launched. On March 2nd, 2004, the spacecraft Rosetta was launched from Kourou, French Guiana along with spacecraft Philae, its lander module. On March 4th, 2005,…

The various inventions of mankind have not only become pieces of humanity, but necessities to humans themselves, and many would admit after generations of inventing that their lives would be much different without some of these breakthroughs. But -undoubtedly- the invention with the hardest hit on society is the drug, heroin. In 1874, a medical professor named Charles Romley Alder Wright changed the world with the release of the drug (at the time a medical supply). After being…

Throughout the years, dating all the way back to 2400 B.C., technology has made an essential impact on the lives of millions all over the world. Many of the technological advances were made during times of evolution, change, or crisis in the creators era of being. Of these many advances, most were authored by men. During the 20th century, women began to speak out for their rights and pursue their dreams and occupations. One woman, Grace Hopper, was one of these inspirational role models who…

products; they gain said assets through acquisitions as well as organic R&D. However, within their industry, the innovation of a new product is not without constraint. Patents, federal certification, and partnership contracts all act as inhibiting factors upon Boston Scientific, and it is how they interact with these restrictions that will determine their state in the future. Although innovation lies…

that were found included difficulties with the new technology, charges and support for the systems, electronic data exchange, financial incentives, and physician’s attitudes (Miller & Sim, 2016, p 119). Cost of the technology is something a business takes into consideration first and foremost. Implementing the electronic medical records initially has high up-front costs. Not only do you have to purchase the system, but there are also initial set up fees and the company needs to invest in laptops…

product performance of the company, it eventually led to the disruption of the performance trajectory which consequently resulted in the failure of the company (Thamhain, 2013). It is, therefore, significant to understand the role that technological innovations play in the success or failure of firms and business that depend on them. This research will review the disruptive effects of the digital photography technology in the film industry as well as the transformational benefits of cloud…
