revolutionary new technology is introduced, a period of plethoric propagation follows. It was no different during the rise of automobiles in the embryonic Twentieth Century. Up until October 24th, 1929 (Black Thursday (the stock Market Crash)), the only thing standing between an engineer and an automaker; was creativity, talent and drive. People were essentially popping out of the woodworks trying to make it inside the (mangled-) metaphoric; automotive winners cabin. At the time the technology was so avant

manufacturing by foreign MNCs. The approach was to offer MNCs favourable conditions to locate in Singapore, with a view to increase overall skills and technological capabilities. Singapore sought to build its science and technology resources through the transfer of manufacturing technologies embedded in MNCs and foreign direct investments (FDI). The local skill base was also developed through “learning by using” techniques among workers and technicians employed by these foreign MNCs. Thus Singapore followed

Technology: Embrace Change If there is one consistency in life, then it is the one of change and we as a human race will need to find a way to adapt to it. As the ancient philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus articulated with a brilliant and memorable statement on the river of flux that life is like a river: “We both step and do not step in the same rivers. We are and are not” (B49a). What Heraclitus points out for those who are unfamiliar with this school of thought is, that the natural state of life

motivated. Everything is at our fingertips with the push of a button; consequently, making our generation lazy or as Mark Bauerlein says dumb. What constitutes the term dumb? Is it a lack of knowledge, or understanding, maybe it’s the ability to retain the least amount of information? While this generation certainly has its setbacks in the field of learning and knowledge, it does not mean that this generation is the dumbest. Many say that technology usurps on the basic understanding of information

competitive. This is what makes innovation crucial because it keeps companies competitive with each other. What Is the Challenge Here? The challenge here is how does a company want to innovate and how will they control it. The company has to decide what technology they wish to pursue to innovate their products. Then they have to decide how they will be able to that, and then execute on such. How does the company want to innovate, how will they innovate, how will they respond to changes?

The Changing of Minds The advancement of technology emblematizes humanity’s intelligence and capacity to conceptualize what has not been done before, expand humanity’s capability, and strive to improve the place we inhabit. We sometimes fear the advancement of technology because it’s new and “uncharted territory”. Technology undeniably and unarguably defines our world, and choosing to hide from technology and the role it plays in our world, only hinders the leadership capabilities of those who

human element and that it is not to eradicate their positions, but rather, to free up time to make the employees more efficient. I found this intriguing because the movie was set in 1957. The TedTalk hit on points in history that automation and technology has caused changes within the work force, and has created more, howbeit different,

Technology has its perks. It’s flashy, it’s fun, it's exhilarating, it’s the hot new thing in town, it makes life more efficient. People can contact someone on the other side of the world with the touch of a few buttons, have the new top that they’ve been wanting for the past two months delivered in just 48 hours. While technology has greatly made life easier on people, people have now abused technology to such a point where people are unable to correctly interact with others, children are no longer

happen overnight nor come easy, technology does not either. Though chaotic, the development and progress of technology is what propels our innovative society forward. When new technology is first introduced an array of opinions from all perspectives come spewing out. Right now this is being experienced with the release of the new iPhone 7. Apple has been noted in the past for getting rid of specs to gadgets that aren’t necessary to make way for new and improved technology. Laptops have evolved on lacking

Although, at times, the use of technology in classrooms can inhibit student’s behaviors, it is becoming increasingly significant as a part of modern teaching pedagogies. Whether or not technology is favored by educators, understanding how to use technology is vital because most jobs in the work force focus on utilizing different aspects of technology. With that being said, since one of the many roles of an educator is to teach children the necessary skills needed to succeed, how can teachers effectively
