Co-founder of the internet Robert Kahn is one of the guests in this video clip which look at the impact of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) on society today. Although it is 18 mins long, it is a great video for discussing some key points about communication technology's effect on our personal and business lives. Issues such as security, the increase in social media, the adoption of the internet in developing countries, cyber-terrorism and security, the impact of dial-up to broadband, electronic mobile devices, the growing Apps market, mobile creditcard transaction machines like Square, as well as how climate change is affected.

                               Technology and the News
We are seeing shifts away from how we consume traditional news. Less people are watching news on traditional television sets. Many televisions are now smart screens or are hooked up to the internet. Many people are interacting with news stories such as www.thejournal.ie where people are shaping opinion in the comments sections.

Often people are further exploring stories by conducting their own research on Google or Youtube or by following blogs. Modern day wars are often using social media to transmit messages which may not otherwise be seen eg. the Israel Palestine conflict, Iraq etc

Websites such as Wikileaks have explored areas where traditional news had feared to go. People are questioning traditional news sources more as they get access to instant information.

Is there a disadvantage to this?

Is there an advantage to this?

Can you think of any examples of how news is being changed or even shaped by technology?

What do you think is the future of mainstream news?

The technology you see below allows users to interact with their environment in a more profound way.

    technical means: earpieces, phones, etc. Maybe at some stage these tools were good, and brought the expected result. But at the moment, to pass the exam, they are useless. In many universities, stubs are placed during exams, and You simply can't use them. take a chocolate bar with you for the exam. Before you go into the office, eat a little. Chocolate stimulates the brain, forcing you to concentrate on your tasks.
