Summary Of The World Is Flat By Thomas L. Friedman

It has come very clear to me that our generation that is very accustomed to using the internet are maybe just a little lazier than the generation who did not have computers and other technologies. For instance, I myself find it much easier to go search something I do not know rather than looking it up in a book, because it is much quicker and simpler. If it was not for the internet some discoveries would have never been found, some people would not have made billions and some may even learn to read out of book without getting

Imagine a world today where people didn’t have the technologies. If there were no technologies today, humans wouldn’t have phones, computers, tablets, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat. Technology is now a big part of people’s society and predictable future. Electronic devices like cars, phones, tablets, and computers have all been created over time to make peoples live helpful and easier. The benefits of technology are that people can talk to their friends and relatives who are living far from them, they can learn new things and online courses, and they’re able to reach distant places within hours, which took years of time to reach in olden days.

In the UK, there are some who cannot afford new equipment; therefore they cannot keep up with the increasing speed of development. Although it could be argued that this is not an issue in the UK, most people have enough money for quite a high standard of living so connecting up is usually a matter of personal priorities. The educational impact is that in the UK, there is a lot of Government-provided IT access at school. Every school is expected to teach ICT and all UK schools are connected to the internet. As we have already seen, the nature of the provision varies a lot.

However, kids now are spending the time they could be reading on the internet, which has done almost everything except help their minds to grow in the way that minds did in the past. Naturally, if our literacy rates do not increase, we will end up in a similar literacy issue as Mexico is in now. This is explained in his article, “The Country That Stopped Reading,” the author, David Toscana, claims that the value of reading is so much more than Mexico makes it out to be. Mexico is crumbling due to the fact that the majority of the country is illiterate.

The internet allows teams of professional anywhere in the world to collaborate on any project at the same time. Also computers can do repetitive tasks faster with fewer errors than humans. Business doesn't occur eye to eye as regularly as in the past. Instead, today's communication depends upon phone calls and messages chains that make it testing to become more acquainted with your accomplices. It's been a typical mourn among business people disappointed with the innovation that has turned into the standard in their everyday lives (Burg, 2013).

If we don’t need people in our lives, we can shut doors (not literally though).   Disappearing from social media platforms and making the minimum use of our smart phones can easily take us far from the rest of the world. However, when it comes at the professional front, being a loner could be tough, but not impossible to deal with. Many employers nowadays, look for candidates who can add value to an existing ‘team.’

I think that technology and the internet can and have brought people together. The reason that i say that is because if you are homeschooled, than you can stay connected with your old friends. But if you get cut off from the internet and stuff, and you canot get to talk to anyone at all, than you will be lonely and not have anyone to talk to. The internet has helped to get people help fast. It helps people who want to learn new things, and it helps people who want to share what they have learned.

Albert Einstein once said, “The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think.” This statement applies today more than ever. In a society where technology is rapidly expanding, it is almost impossible to do well in life by relying solely on the facts you learned in school. People must continue learning and figuring things out by themselves while having to deal with new technological advancements coming out all the time. In today's society, a college education is necessary in order to secure a good paying job.

Although phones and technology have brought numerous useful tools to the world, they brought distractions and faults with the easy accessibility. “Technology gives children the ability to learn in ways their parents and grandparents never had. Today’s learners have immediate access to answers and research. Yet, that immediate access is changing the way students think about work and how they feel emotionally,” ("The Pros and Cons of Technology") It is not that technology is unimportant and should be destroyed completely, but there is a line people are crossing.

Today we have a different workforce than what it used to be earlier. To keep up with the workforce today you must make friends with technology as the traditional style of work is not present anymore. You can see this change all over the world. Different companies are using different techniques to make their work smarter but all is attached with technology and we all know that Plantronics is one of the best in technology. The products and headphones are so amazing that many people assume it as the biggest breakthrough industry in making

Motivation The main motivation for all of us was a creation of a profitable business which could make us a decent earning in the future. We were all aware that any business in the beginning is like a baby which should be nurtured and cared off. This is what we have done, slowly expanding the business and trying to make as few mistakes as possible. All three of us had its steady income from other resources hence this was a part time project for all.

The feed can be related to our smartphones, our generation uses smartphones for almost everything. It is slowly causing us to talk with more slang and dull down our brains, but it would take a very long time for anything like the feed to happen. Dystopian literature serves a big purpose when it comes to future generations and can help prevent certain disasters from happening. These novels shouldn 't be looked at as something that could not happen, but as a possibility of

Although certain applications for immigration benefits are fairly easy enough for a layperson to handle, often, one 's immigration needs, deportation, defense or consular processing, for example are best served by seeking immigration counsel. The oversupply of immigration practitioners, however, is one reason making the choice for the right immigration attorney difficult? The following tips have proven helpful in making the right choice. Surf the web: As we go on to the 21st Century, the internet has increasingly become part and parcel of our daily activities.

The internet should be an affordable accessibility to everyone with the same speed for the same price. Without Net neutrality, it can make a big impact on students, educators and all users of the internet. In this generation schools all over the world have require assignments to be done using the internet. Yet there are many people out there that have no way of accessing to the internet and cannot afford it. With open internet it allows it to be open to the general public.

Instead of teaching students, many teachers have turned to technology as a means of teaching. It’s okay to incorporate technology as a teaching method, but I do not agree that it should be their only means of teaching. The traditional ways of teaching allowed students to work for their answers. All in all, technology has proven to be an advantage for me as it has allowed me to complete my degree online.
