RF Advantages:\n1. Not line of sight \n2. Not blocked by common materials: can penetrate most solids and pass through walls \n3. Longer range \n4. Not light sensitive \nNot as sensitive to weather/environmental conditions\n\n\n\nRF Disadvantages:\n1. Interference: communication devices using similar frequencies - wireless phones, scanners, wrist radios and personal locators can interfere with transmission \n2. Lack of security: easier to "eavesdrop" on transmissions since signals are spread out in space rather than confined to a wire \n3. Higher cost than infrared \n4. Federal Communications Commission(FCC) licenses required for some products \n5. Lower speed: data rate transmission is lower than wired and infrared transmission

I work in fraud detection, the advantage is obviously convenience. the disadvantage is possible identity theft. There are numerous devices that can be attached to the machine and copy your information. Your information could be sent to another country in a matter of minutes. Make sure you use a machine that is serviced often and watched closely. Even the most cautious person can have their information compromised.

"Technology" is defined as the practical application of knowledge, though the term is often used to mean other things.\n\nThe benefits of applying knowledge practically? ... hmmmm Well, it's better than applying it impractically - or not applying it at all - or applying stupidity (either practically or impractically).\n\nThe disadvantage of applying knowledge practically? I honestly see none - sounds quite knowledgeable and practical to me (in an applied kind of way).

Nanotechnology comprises technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1 to 100 nm (1/1,000 µm, or 1/1,000,000 mm). \nNanotechnology covers a wide range of industries, and therefore the potential benefits are also widespread. Telecommunications and Information technology could benefit in terms of faster computers and advanced data storage.\n\nFor the near-term, critics of nanotechnology point to the potential toxicity of new classes of nanosubstances that could adversely affect the stability of cell membranes or disturb the immune system when inhaled, digested or absorbed through the skin.\ninformation taken from the following link:(also, go there for additional info)

Blessing.  Certainly there are problems to solve, but those problems will be solved by further technology, not by banning what we already have.  \n\nIt would be possible to provide a long list of the benefits of technology in the modern world, but I will cite a single example:  modern communication technology allows me, a complete stranger, to answer your question.  We never had anything in the past like the information tool we have now in the internet.  No matter how good a library one had available, it would still take a lot of time and know-how to research every question.  Now, it's all here at your fingertips.\n\nAsk any modern physician how many of his patients would have been worse off ten years ago, let alone fifty.  Ask any research scientist what has happened in his field as a result of modern technology.  The world does not stand still, and we cannot make it do so.\n\nRemember, nothing is an unmixed blessing.  Certainly the internet brings its own problems, but so did the technology of the crossbow!

Printing press, hands down.  I know it's a common answer, but you can't deny its importance.  The fast production of books enhanced our educational systems and the overall spreading of knowledge in ways we can never really measure.  We would likely be centuries behind in our technological, medical, and scientific advances if it had not been invented.\n\nThe most important one to me is the car, for obvious reasons.\n\nI think that technology has made life more convinient, not necessarily better.  Too much technology can make things too noisy and busy.  There's no denying it's made things easier, but at the same time devices like cell phone ensure that your company can get in touch with you all the time.  Laptops enable you to take your work with you wherever you go.  This sounds great, but it creates more work and stress for the average person.
