Discussion week 5 Business operations Please answer each discussion with 250 -300 words, APA style. DO NOT FORGET THE CITATION!!!! Then write a response to 2 students for each discussion week with 100 words min, and directed at them in a positive manner not in 3rd person! The other students discussion posts can also be used as an example on how your initial post should be done. So by the end of this assignment your should have done 1 discussions and 2 responses!!! Discussion question Technology is the focus of Chapter 5 in the Collier/Evans textbook. To quote the chapter’s opening paragraph, “Technology – both physical and information – has dramatically changed how work is accomplished in every industry – from mining to manufacturing to education to health care.” I might add that technology has also had a dramatic impact on our personal lives. For this session I am asking you to identify three examples of how technology has changed your life, at least one of which should be work related. Explain your answer. After your initial response, interact with two of your classmates during the week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbNHCn2gHQ4 Student 1 Reginald ( needs a response directly at him not in a 3rd person, what u like about his post or agree with or disagree with, stay positive) Identify three examples of how technology has changed your life, at least one of which should be work related. Explain your answer. 1. I remember in high school I was always pretty good at math, and I remember the teachers telling us that we need to memorize all those concepts and know how to do the equations and remember all the rules because, “You’re not going to always have a calculator with you in life!” Well, of course, with the invention of smart phones, I DO always have a calculator! I also always have a calendar, a weather report, a GPS, and really any information I need at a moment’s notice. 2. I always wanted to be a professional basketball player when I was young. That was my dream because that would be my way of getting out of my humble circumstances and becoming successful in life. Fast forward to now, obviously that dream didn’t pan out, but I joined the Army as an IT specialist, and I have learned so much new technology that was never a part of my life before, and afterwards I will most likely work in a technology field and that will be my way of becoming the successful adult I had always wanted to be. Technology was my way up, not sports. 3. My education has been greatly advanced and driven by technology. I wouldn’t even be getting my MBA right now if it weren’t for the invention of online schooling. I wouldn’t have time or the ability to be in school and the military. Being able to take classes online has made it possible for me to work in another country and still progress my education. Before this I was able to spend plenty of time with my wife and be home with her when I wasn’t working and still progress my education. Online classes has allowed me to make education a priority while still progressing in other areas of my life and be able to work my education around the other priorities, as apposed to when I was getting my bachelors degree and I had to schedule my life around school. Student 2 Yemi ( needs a response directly at him not in a 3rd person, what u like about his post or agree with or disagree with, stay positive) Technology has been responsible for creating amazing resources which puts all information we need right at our fingertips. The advancement of technology has made for great discoveries and below are a few ways technology has changed my life: Information Sharing through SharePoint: One way that technology has changed my life is through content management and information sharing. Working in a fast paced environment where information storing and sharing is important, SharePoint has made life a lot easier because through the intranet portal, I am able to not only share information with other departments, we are also able to collaborate better because this information is managed and store in a location easily accessible by all. Communication through Facetime: Facetime is a super easy way to stay in touch with friends and family. Traditionally prior to technology evolving, the only way to keep in touch with my parents in Nigeria was through emails or phone calls which could sometimes be very expensive. Facetime is a good alternative to the traditional way of communicating because it makes use of various communication media such as text, graphics, sound and video. Ebooks With technology, we are now able to take our books everywhere we go. Rather than hauling heavy books around especially for someone that is always on the move. Technology has made life a lot easier with eBooks. Although most people need time to adjust to the idea of reading books on devices, technology keeps evolving to make the experience a lot similar to the gestures with synonymous with physical books.
