Do you really need to ask a question like this? Hmmm, what would life be like if I had to hop on my horse and ride to school that had no central heat or electricity and the only way to talk to my friends was to go see them at their house face to face...

We live in a society of instant gratification.  You ask an answer here, and you get an answer instantly.  If you need to research an important topic, you no longer need to make a trip to the library.  Reliable resources are now available online.  Not so long ago, email was the fastest source of communication.  Now we IM and have cell phones.  We no longer make dates a week ahead of time.  We use IM or cell phones to make instant dates 1-2 hours beforehand.  We live in a "fast" society.  Technology has invaded our lives and put almost any information or task at the tips of our fingers, cell phones, computers, or blackberries.  \n\nBut you know what?  That technology has not been able to invade the roads yet.  We have highways and interstates full of wired people who live wired lives.  Every second counts.  All the technology in the world cannot prevent slow traffic, accidents, careful drivers, or folks who are lost.  \n\nIt is time to put that hurry up and get out of my way "rage" aside, and start waving at strangers with all of our fingers again!

impact my job, it is my job. :) \n\nI am an IT computer fix-it guy.\n\nif this is a homework question you could say something about how many people the tech market employs world wide.\n\nI would say the 24/7 communication part has hurt my personal life due to the fact i am now able to be on call 24/7 and that is seen as OK.

Modernization means a great change for many countries. As you can see some effects of modernization is the outsourcing of business in other countries. That means less job for some countries while a great opportunity for other countries offering cheap labor cost. Other effects of modernization I think is the way people lives. Like now at our times, technology affects how we live our lives everyday. Cellphones and internet have largely affected the way we communicate with each other.

Technology has more power than we think. <--- That would be a good topic.

Good effect - Information is a click away.\n\nBad effect - We have become too dependent on the computer.

I think human beings will always have problems.  New technology may solve some of these problems and create others.

1-Portables\n2-Desktops\n\n\n\n1---they will get smaller\nthey keyboard will become obsolete and everything will be voice command\nthey will be small enough to wear as wristwatches\n internet will become even more globalized as wi-fi towers will be everywhere you go so internet will always be available\nthe screen will also become obsolete and will be replaced by a hologram that displays al information needed\nalso to prevent theft all of the wrist-computers will have fingerprint scanners and voice recognition software as computers will get smaller so will the storage devices cd's will no longer exist everything will be repaced by memory cards SD by default maybe Xd or memory stick\nthe whole world will be interconneced not only will computers be smaller and more affordable but they will offer other services such as telephone and mp3 player, nav. system, gps, and they will carry all needed information.\n\n2---the most likely evolution for the desktop will be home office the desktop will also get smaller the screen will grow bigger doubling as a touch screen keyboard replaced by a single palm scanner and a microphone fo voice commands the cpu will get laptop-thin but it will be able to hook up to any and all smart appliances hooked up to a network within ones house so they will 'talk' to each other you could be talking to your computer and tell it to turn the stove on or to microwave you some steak umms\nbesides doing all that computers will also carry all iportant files documents and records heavily encrypted and secured so that nothing can get in or out without you knowing and above all virtualization of real world items will be possible as well as making a virtual object real with this possibilty will come the teleporter and telepods transporting people anywhere as fast as internet speeds can carry\nwith all the advances security systems will now be upgraded to near-invincibility and will be pricey and with all the world united by electronics one Y2K catastrophy could mean the end of the world or a terminator rise of the machines like incident

Technology used in communications and getting/sending information.  This includes computers and their programs, applications, internet, etc.

Again, the question is not specific enough. In relation to what? Phones? Computers? Everything?

Electronic means of communication has brought the entire world closer together.  First, it was the telegraph, then telephone and now the internet.  Communication is what makes the world go around and the tools we have invented over the past 100 years helped us grow and evolve to where we are today.

There are several topics that have a social impact and comp. sci related:\n\n1) Open source technologies and how they are benefitting/harming business, society, culture. \n\n2) Is computer science an elitist science and can it/should it be made more accessible? How would such accessibility be possible?\n\n3) As technologies grow and advance, how are we humans growing advancing? As in, are we changing technology or is technology changing us?\n\n4) What would happen if the entire world could connect to the internet? Would this spread more good or more evil?\n\n5) Why is the pick-up of new technology slow? How come when a better solution exists, people continue to go with the older worse one?\n\n6) Is the emergence of computer technology in every field a good thing? This esp. if people lose their jobs because of computers taking over their work. \n\nI could think of quite a few more, but have to go. \n\nGood luck!

Well, here we are with our pervasive communication.  There's the Internet.  There's cell phones in every ear as you walk down the street or ride on the bus.  There's TV in all its forms.  There are more books, magazines, newspapers and other print materials than ever before.  Ever since we've gotten word processing and ink jet printers, and photocopiers, there have been more flyers, posters, advertising handouts and other privately printed materials than ever before.  Then there are movies, DVDs, CDs and all the more esoteric forms of communication disguised as and doing business as entertainment.\n\nWe are in an information age, which means an information overload age.  Everyone I know has at least one phone number, probably two or three (home, office and cell).  Almost everyone I know has one or more email addresses.  They have their own web pages, or at least their own blog pages, like Yahoo! 360.  There are more types of communications that go through the Internet than I've even had a chance to explore yet.\n\nYes; pervasive is definitely the word.

New Technology is Great as well as Bad.\n\nWhen it comes to great, you can perform complex things very easily. There are entertainment and other stuff that can be easily achieved by the use of new emerging technologies.\n\nWhen it comes to the bad side, you get several privacy issues where a legitimate user is blackmailed by an ethical hacker and blackmailed. There are also crimes that start through technology. (e.g. Chatting).\n\nSo, it is us, who have to prioritize the technology according to our needs and gain the maximum benefit.\n\nBYE
