By reading the Bill Gates book he states that digital
nervous system will free the world from the old paper processes so that
everyone will have the time to think about the questions and act quickly. This
technology will gratify people's needs at work and at home. Bill Gates compared
it to a leaving thing that will guide the people to get whatever they want,
just like the human nervous system guides the human mind. This Technology
information not only will provide easy access to many things that before seemed
impossible but it will be at the speed of light by just clicking the mouse in
your home or work computer. This technology will provide so much information
that the middle man could have ever achieved. Therefore, from the birth of this
technology information will came to life so many easy ways of doing business,
that where unreal to be true in the past such as;
1- Convert
every paper process to a digital process,
2- Use Digital tools to help costumers solve problems for
themselves,
3- Extend the knowledge of your workers to a higher level of
thinking,
4- Easy online study and share of the sales data,
5- Using this technology information to make prepared teams,
6- Using the Technology to replace the middle man into the digital
delivery.
All
this magnificent ways of getting things done by less than the second will make
the world a different place to leave in and work in. Will make it easy to
navigate and ask question. Will make it easy to solve the problems in many
different, easy and faster ways that what used to be before. Bill Gates central
point in what he is bringing up to his book is the speed that the things will
be done when the technology will take place in the future. Furthermore, as the
Microsoft CEO he already had tasted the beauty and the power of the technology
and what the technology information was capable of. He knew that the technology
information is the king of everything, it’s the future of communication, the
future of being informed at the same time that something has happened. It’s the
future of preventing things from happening. However, every arguments and states
he has made in his book were a great support for his 21st projections. Furthermore, after reading the book
my point of view is pro, and yes there are lots of advantages from every
projections Bill Gates had made. From all this projections we do have
accomplished all of those. We now are leaving into the technology information
world and working based on it. We now get the news and share data and
information all over the world by just clicking the mouse.
Furthermore the successful companies of the next decade will be the ones that use
digital tools to reinvent the way they work. The main way for a company to
survive and succeed is the use of the technology information in order to
surpass its competitors.

This editorial from the
Economist describes the controversy surrounding video games and the effect they
have on people who use them. The author points out that skepticism of new media
have gone back to the time of the ancient Greeks, so this controversy
surrounding video games is nothing new. The article also points out that most
critics of gaming are people over 40 and it is an issue of generations not
understanding one another, rather than of the games themselves. As the youth of
today grow older, the controversy will die out, according to the author. The
author of this article stresses the age factor over violence as the real reason
for opposition to video games and stresses the good gaming has done in most
areas of human life. This article is distinctive in exploring the controversy
surrounding video games from a generational standpoint and is written for a
general audience.
The
article points out that most critics of gaming are people over 40 and it is an
issue of age not of the games themselves. While the author briefly mentions
studies done around the issue of violence and gaming, he does not go into
enough depth for the reader to truly know the range of studies that have
actually been done in this area. The author of this article stresses the age
factor over violence as the real reason for opposition to video games and
stresses the good gaming has done in most areas of human life.
