Think of the company and the industry you currently work for. (If you aren’t currently working, consider your previous employer.) Discuss how your company and your industry have been impacted by computer technology. Some examples include how sales transactions are processed, how products are manufactured, how products and services are marketed, etc. Discuss how computer technology has changed over the past ten years for your company and your industry. What predictions do you have for the next 10 years in terms of the impact of technology on business? Present one or more new trends that are developing toady and how it will impact your business in the future.

Do you know of an organization that has experienced significant loss of revenue or reputation as a result of a cyberattack? If so please explain the events of what happened.

Consider how a business would operate if it did not have access to technology or an information system.

For this case, I would like for you to provide your opinion on three concepts covered in Chapter 14 (benefits). I would also like for you to support your opinion with logic, rationale, and/or accompanying information from outside sources (be sure to cite your sources). Social Security – Why is social security as it currently exists experiencing a crisis? What should be done to fix it? How do you think the plan should change? Healthcare – explain how healthcare has been affected since the passing of the Affordable Care Act. What do you think about this law? Is it good or bad? Support your opinion with data. Retirement – what do you think about employer-sponsored retirement programs? If you owned a firm, what retirement benefits (if any) would you provide your employees? What type of plans are better or worse?
