His friend, who helped him out of the cockpit approached Bausch and lomb to create a pair of sunglasses which protect the eyes but leaves the sight intact.

WeaveTech, formally known as Johnson-Ware is a military and security apparel company entering into the high-end performance clothing market. Before the acquisition by CVX Partners, WeaveTech which was formed in 1905, relied exclusively on the military (70%) and security (30%) customer base. The need to change the company’s customer base from military and security to high-end performance clothing market apparently arose from the allure of the later market segment and the dwindling growth of the military and security market (Beer & Swiercz, 2015). The departure of Jack Davidson, a retired US Navy Rear Admiral, and WeaveTech CEO from 1983 to 2012 in addition to the conclusion of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars meant that the traditional market was losing its reliability. Due to the unreliability, there was a need to redesign the customer base and to take advantage of the high-end market segment.

Another example of the negative side of advanced technology being depicted by Huxley in Brave New World is in how the World State replaces real emotion and individuality with conditioning and collectiveness. While the assembly line becomes a major way to create human beings, machines and objects replace human emotions, which leads to consumerism and individuality falling to the wayside. The World State is a society in which economics take precedence over emotion. Everyone is needed for their role in society—it is what they are designed for after all—but they all also need everyone else. Whether they are Alphas or Gammas, they are always aware of their own ability. Lenina is a perfect example of a person who used to live in the objects world

It fascinates me how the human mind has developed from the beginning of time, till now. I mean technology itself has transformed the word. New inventions are created each day, improving machines, and almost everything. Throughout history people have created things that have made life easier. Transportation has always been very important. It has been a huge part of history. Of course like every other resource it had its pros and cons. Automobiles, airplanes, boats, and trains during the 1800s were all being invented.
The company has also been accredited for having maintained a high degree of diversity coupled by its ability to maintain top quality in the standards of its products. Not only has the company retained a good reputation with its clients but also maintained an excellent corporate responsibility track record. This has built the public trust in the brand and is proud to be associated with it. To the wonder of many, the company has year over year continued to yield profits way over its competitors. To maintain such a success has been pre-determined by the way it has a strict, slow growth policy which ensures that it dominates a market before moving on to dominate another market, and despite the slow nature, the company has now emerged to be one of the fastest growing companies in the United States.

Before I write about a day without using technology, I want to be clear of some points. First of all, I born on August of 1971. My life was simple and did not have a lot of technology. I lived my childhood in a small town called Kafr El Dawar. Kafr El Dawar is a small town near Alexandria, Egypt. My parents had a beautiful house. We had a big tree with a lot of birds on it in front of my house. Inside the house we had a white and black television and a radio. The T.V only had two channels. We had a lot of time for talking, going to the Coptic Church, going to school and playing with neighbourhood friends in front of my house. My father was a teacher, he also studied music for four years in college. He always spend a lot of time in the Coptic Church, teaching them religion songs. He used to take me and my sister with him in the church’s choir. I had a beautiful and nice mom, I had a lot of uncles, aunts and cousins. We spent a lot of wonderful time with them. I enjoy the sunset and the sunrise from my balcony and hear the birds in the early morning. If anyone asks me what is the best days in all my life, I will say my childhood times. I was the happiest girl in the world. Back in the day we had time for everything socializing. I have only one sister but I have big family, we used to spend times with a lot of uncles, aunts and cousins.
