A Brief Note On The And Licensed Contractors

Technology and computerization has taken over almost every major industry today. More people purchase their movie tickets through an application on their phone, do their Christmas shopping online, deposit checks by taking a picture on their phone. Some people can even earn their degree without stepping their foot into a classroom, obtaining it completely online. With all of these advances in so many different

After looking at several certifications, the CompTIA A+ certification which is offered by CompTIA, peaked my interest. The primary goal of this certification is to validate the understanding of common hardware and software technologies needed in a business setting to provide support to complex IT infrastructures. Being vendor neutral, the A+ certification ensures certified professionals to have mastered technologies found present in today’s IT environment ranging from mobile to traditional devices and several operating systems. CompTIA also ensures to be trusted by employers, due to its global recognition and accreditation by meeting ISO 17024 standard and also holding approval from the U.S. Department of Defense, meeting the 8140/8570.01-M requirements.

He looks at the relationship between the wage of the job, the education required and its probability of computerization. The author evaluated around 700 jobs and ranked them based on how likely they are to be computerized. What was found showed that the low risk occupations were ones that either required the person to be very educated, or required a vast amount of social interactions. And the high risk occupations were the ones that required little knowledge and low social interaction. Low risk jobs ranged from therapists, to healthcare workers, and high risk ones like library technicians, data entry keyers, production labor, transportation, and telemarketers. Frey believes that this takeover will happen in two stages. First, computers will start replacing people in the vulnerable fields, then the rate of replacement will slow down due to bottlenecks in the harder to automate fields. This “technological plateau”(38) will be followed by a second wave of computerization, but this will depend on how advanced artificial intelligence becomes. The second wave will put jobs in management, science, engineering, and the arts at risk. Overall the author concluded that 45 percent of American jobs are at high risk of being taken by computers within the next two

Everyone uses technology in their daily lives however no one notices that not only technology is being used but it is also taking away or making it easier for individuals not to be hired as an employee. Some of the things that technology is being replaced are Robots, automation and software. For many types of jobs as these powerful new technologies are improving they are also being adopted not only in manufacturing or in retail work but in many professions such as law, financial services, education and medicine. Technology may be advancing, but it is causing a higher unemployment rate, machines are not completely break-proof, and

Since the 1980 's, the growth of the technology sector has been exponential. The introduction of the personal computer (PC) was the true catalyst for the growth in popularity of computer technology. With this introduction also came the growth in popularity of being a computer scientist. The code used to write the software for these personal computers was brand new and easy to use. What made it easy to use was the fact that the computer code for the PC was very similar to the English language; whereas, previous computers used punch cards as a way to program them.. This change was revolutionary because it allowed anyone to learn how to program a computer. This, coupled with the major computer advancements occurring in the United States, such as the internet, created the idea that becoming a computer scientist almost guaranteed you a job. At the time, this was true. The idea still is mostly true, however, many computer science jobs, usually Information Technology (IT) and other entry level jobs that involve programming, have been moved overseas. This shift to outsourcing is not very widespread as some people might think, but it could become widespread with the increase in quality of life and job availability in other countries. The outsourcing, while currently not a major issue, does have very real consequences for the future. Such consequences include lack of job availability for college graduates in the United States and, as a result, an increase in unemployment. Another

I. Computer 's are an integral part of our daily lives. Just about anywhere you go, a computer is present. Hospitals, banks, even the gas pump you frequent, relies on computer 's to figure out how much gas you pump, how much it is per gallon, and where to get that money from. As you can see from this line graph, computer 's are in more demand than ever peaking at 350 million sold in a year. (Computer Sales Statistics)

With Technology being a huge role in the business world we are bound to encounter them in restaurant, stores, and factory. People are demanding faster and better service and those are the quality that technology can provide. Because human services are more expensive than a machine, corporations are more likely to put machine rather than human in their business for their survival. Yes, the corporations are making money but you should not look at it in that point of view.

Response: As an employer I can see that these computerized software systems have simplified and accelerated all regular business functions and transactions, But while these computerized systems are now monitoring human interactions this deskills the labor of the employees and defeats the purpose of self-actualization and purpose which is what makes a happy employee and keeps them there working hard.

Due to the massive damage caused by Hurricane Wilma on the utility resources and systems, they are new required for utility companies. They have to inspect each pole every eight years, trim vegetation on a three-year cycle and inspect transmission structures every six years. From 2006 to 2009, utility companies spent $179 million to strengthen the main power lines serving 240 critical facilities, including 911 centers, special-needs shelters, and county emergency operations centers. Utility companies expect to spend another $135 to $165 million to pay for the improvements to its systems. The utility companies have learned a lot from past hurricanes and continue to try to improve their service. Palm Beach Post. (2010).

In a technology driven society, it is not uncommon to see individuals walking down the street walking on phones, checking text messages, or responding to emails. With that being said a majority of jobs no matter the field are beginning to incorporate technology into the workforce. Technologies are emerging at a rapid rate however, there are areas in the workforce that have not kept up with technologies or that can meet the demands of a technology driven society. In this paper we will discuss a scenario involving the fictional company Realtek Industries (RI). Realtek Industries specializes in the productions, development, and design of high quality widgets. Realtek takes high pride in their highly trained and responsive customer service department.

Cisco: Cisco has a variety of certificates to help computer technicians verify their skills. One of the most popular certificates is the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certificate. This certificate certifies the technician has the ability to install, operate, configure and

The pace of innovation in technology in 2015 is so fast that there are some items that become obsolete as soon they are ready for commercial distribution. This is especially true in the case of information technology where every day a new product or service is launched. From its inception, computer technology has been viewed as a technology for the young. Older generations of people either do not trust in this technology or have very little self-confidence in using the tools associated with it. The important point to note is that technology today is designed mostly by young people and is predominantly used by people of the same age group. The older generation in general, will have little to no impact on how technology is designed or used in

1.2. The Contractor has agreed to share with the Licensee 20% of profits made from training

Independent contractors are hired and used for various reasons by companies. Probably one of the main reason businesses hire independent contractors is that it will save the company money in the long run. Independent contractors are not employees of the company for which they are hired. They are ultimately hired to perform a service or provide a good for a fee. The definition of a contractor,

Because we rely more and more on computers, we also depend on those who make
