Understand applications and issues of technology. 1

 Businesses use of technology  Concerns of using technology 2

3 Applications of Technology by Businesses  What are computer networks? ◦ Computer networks are computers linked in a school or business so users can share hardware, software, and data.  Examples of computer networks: ◦ Internet Public network used most often for:  ing  Accessing the World Wide Web (WWW) ◦ Intranet Private network, primarily used to share information

 What is artificial intelligence (AI)?  It is software that enables computers to reason learn and make decisions ◦ Example: voice recognition software ( on your cell phone, bluetooth in your car)  How do expert systems help people? ◦ Expert systems are computer programs that help people solve technical problems including medical services, financial planning, and legal matters ◦ Example: Automotive parts electronic catalogue  Why is Computer- aided design (CAD) used? ◦ It is used to create product styles and designs. ◦ Example: Design for a camera 4

 What is involved in E-commerce? ◦ is conducting business transactions using the Internet or other technology.  Most common activities of E-Commerce: ◦ Providing product information ◦ Promoting a company ◦ Selling online ◦ Conducting market research ◦ Making payments ◦ Obtaining parts and supplies ◦ Tracking shipments 5

 What is involved in robotics activities? ◦ It involves mechanical devices programmed to do routine tasks, such as those seen on an assembly line in factories. ◦ Robots are also used in dangerous situations where it is not safe for people to go. ◦ You will find the use of robotics at:  Automated checkout clerks  Airline Tickets agents  Gorilla Carwash ( clerk and wash system) 9

 Telecommuting ◦ Every morning more than 20 million Americans travel to their offices for work, but they never leave home. How do they do that????? ◦ TELECOMMUTING  This involves the activities of a worker using a computer at home to do a job.  Telecommuting saves time and money!  Less traffic, less pollution, noise reduction  Telecommuting is common for  Writers, researchers, editors, sales reps, website designers. 10

Concerns of using technology 2.04 What is the down side of all the new and developing technology? 11

12 Concerns of Using Technology Employment Trends  Many people feel that their jobs are being taken away by computers ◦ What is actually occurring is a shift in the type of worker that is needed ◦ More workers skilled in programming, operating, or repairing computer systems are needed  Companies have to retrain displaced workers. ◦ Workers must get additional training so that they can adapt to the changing job environment  Computer literacy is vital. ◦ The ability to use computers to process information or solve problems.

13 Concerns of Using Technology continued Computer Crimes The wide use of computer has led to an increase in white-collar crime White- collar crime is illegal acts carried out by office or professional workers while at work.  A computer virus is a hidden program code in a system that can do damage to software or stored data. ◦ What is the motivation behind someone creating a computer virus? ◦ How does a virus make it’s way to your computer?

14 Concerns of Using Technology continued Piracy is stealing or illegally copying software packages or information.  How many people have access to software that has been copied to a CD by a personal contact?  Did that person commit an act of piracy?

15 Concerns of Using Technology continued Health Concerns While very little danger can come from the use of a computer and other technological devices there are some issues people are experiencing  Eyestrain and vision problems  Muscle tension and nerve damage  Carpal tunnel syndrome

Privacy Concerns ◦ One of the greatest challenges facing computer users is the need to guarantee privacy. ◦ Dishonest people have access to customer records at some companies and this poses great concern. ◦ Companies have changed which employees as well as other people that may have access to customer records. ◦ Companies are also changing almost all of their programs to be password protected.  Some programs even require the user to change their password combination several times a day!  Each day more than 1,000 people have their identities stolen in the US 16
