With the heavy advancements in technology it is quite impossible to distinguish a real picture from a virtual one generated by the computer. The Supreme Court of US has legalised virtual child pornography which means even if you see your child’s face doctored onto a body that is naked you cannot take any legal action. Congress tried making child pornography illegal under the Child Pornography Act of 1996 but in the year 2002, Supreme Court rejected those provisions. Although the Constitution and its laws ought to be respected I cannot find a justification for legalising these media ...

Virtual Reality in Business

Today the business is 100% dependent on computer applications. It is hard to imagine that it would have existed, let alone prosper in isolation. All business today is based, on the one hand, around users (both internal and external), and on the other hand - around some internal infrastructure. Accordingly, the tendency can be divided into user-related and infrastructure relations (Ducker). Business applications, and especially business infrastructure are influenced by the current trend of consolidation, which involves the centralization of resources - all the intellectual power of the company is gathered in data centers.

The sensory interactive technologies in immersive environments lend well to the iterative, adaptive and flexible techniques of the agile programming methods such as DDMS. At the same time, DDMS still retains the disciplined structured process framework of the ...

The public sphere is a unique "space" in which a big amount of citizens lives and interacts, and each of them is different from each other. If one considers the emergence and transformation of the public sphere, for example, from the times of Antiquity to the present day, it becomes evident that the public sphere is created and changed mainly due to interpersonal communication.

In this paper I will argue that technology—and Internet technology in particular—makes us more alone. This isolation is most evident when the Internet ceases to function. It seems like a regular occurrence that certain major websites go down due to hackers or technical problems. When a bank website is out of service, or when Facebook seems slow, Internet users are frustrated because they begin to sense how isolated they truly are. We can just imagine what would happen if a major government or global commerce website went down for just a few days. The Internet or social ...

Technology exists as a creation of people, produced through the various ideas to help make the lives of people easier and more productive. However, technology has become too deeply integrated in people’s lives that they start being overly dependent on it, even to the point of stating that they are not able to live without it. Such an idea, significantly evident in today’s society is the thematic background of E.M Forster’s The Machine Stops, serving as a prescient warning of its implications. The isolation and shunning of human nature and a worship of technology will eventually ...

Executive Summary

A contemporary workplace without at least minimal tech infrastructure, such as PCs and laptops connected to a corporate Ethernet is hardly imaginable nowadays. At the same time, the practice demonstrates that the demands of technological modernity are continually evolving, and for many companies staying in line with the developments of technology is either organizationally impossible or financially unaffordable. Thus, statistically 44.59% of all global PC and laptop users still use Windows 7 and 7.65% have Windows XP installed, although Microsoft stopped maintaining the both operating system (VMWare, 2015).
Because advanced operating systems require renewal of a corporate subscription and ...

Discussion Questions on the Institutions of Higher Education

Discussion Questions on the Institutions of Higher Education

Nowadays, the emerging “for profit” institutions become a popular alternative to the traditional “non for profit” higher educational institutions. The for-profit-sector, as Lloyd Armstrong claims, “has not made the mistake of equating program quality either with the level of prior educational attainment of entering students, or the fraction of applicants who are rejected” (Armstrong, 2010). Thereby this strategy and a greater innovativeness of the institutions result in a great interest to them among the working adults and the members of minority groups.
Considering their students as the clients, for profit organization ...

There is a multitude of different ...

There is no doubt that most of the modern gadgets have simplified the life of humanity and made it more rapid, dynamic, and diverse. However, one cannot say that this progress is a negative phenomenon and brings no benefit to society; though, it also has another side.

This relationship has a bit of a different character than a drug or alcohol addiction, but the danger is not below. Using the new gadgets that have a direct and fast ...
