AOL engaged in what is called “micro-tasking”, and is believed to revolutionize the virtual workforce. Micro-tasking is what Daniel Maloney, an AOL executive, applied when he was faced with inventorying a vast video library. He broke the large job into small pieces and utilized a crowdsourcing IT platform, Mechanical Turk, in order to describe each task that he required to be done. Each worker was asked to find web pages containing a video and identify the video’s source and location. The project started within a week and completed in a couple of months. The total labor cost was as low as it would‘ve been to hire two man-month

Rachel Botsman’s theory of collaborative consumption is made up of different systems that interact within the different social systems of social work individually and simultaneously. The idea of collaborative consumption is a way for individuals to swap, barter, rent, and purchase items from the convenience of their home or while on the go (2010). From a micro system, Botsman is referring to the individuals who are actively participating in collaborative consumption. By bringing individuals together on a micro level in order to share resources, Botsman’s theory demonstrates how people can work together. Whereas, from a mezzo system Botsman’s theory works to bring any small group together under some common ground. An example of a mezzo system

Today’s on-line travel market is succeeding because the companies are using a more software-centric, online business model termed “E-commerce.” This has become the popular avenue for businesses as it mirrors the ideas of mobility. The sheer amount of data available, coupled with the advanced operating systems and social media platforms, have created new possibilities for E-commerce organizations. The infrastructure of E-commerce has expanded into platforms such as peer-to-peer networking, crowd-sourcing, social websites, and mobile devices and media. E-commerce trends are findings ways to incorporate every aspect of our daily lives into an online package associated with our everyday needs (Fishbein, 2013).

Today, America is in the midst of a technological revolution in which each and every person is connected to the internet and absorbed in their own lives. One could say that America’s sense of awareness for each other and general sense of community has been lost. So, film director, Joseph Garner, set out to create the documentary, Craigslist Joe in 2012, in which he left home to go on a month long trip and live entirely off Craigslist with nothing but the clothes he was wearing, his phone, computer, and backpack. Garner’s goal was to see if it was possible to live completely off help from other people and see if there is still a sense of community in America. Throughout the film, Garner travels with a camera man which gives the

The book ‘Canada’s Underground World of Human Trafficking’ by Benjamin Perrin is a realization of reality and a desperate call to action. The silent screams of young abused victims continue echoing down the dark tunnels of Canada’s underground world of human trafficking. Perrin argues that this is an issue that should concern everyone on a global and national level because it lowers the value of our common humanity. He uses empirical evidence from a variety of case studies to emotionalize with the reader and support his claim that Canada desperately needs to be educated on this form of modern day slavery. Throughout the duration of the book Perrin discusses and provides examples of multiple forms of social inequalities that help enable the

This letter is solely based off the purpose of allowing you to have a better perspective of how we, as citizens view your successes, as well as your shortcomings in terms of upholding, and enforcing the UDHR.

Our country is among the best in terms of enforcing the 30 articles of the UDHR, but that doesn't mean there’s not room for improvement. Canada is currently ranked eighth on the Human Development Index, only behind; United States, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia, Norway.

My first year of high school I had a great opportunity that helped me grow up into the person that I am today. I had the opportunity to go on a moose hunt in Vermont. Growing up in Upstate New York where moose are a rare occurrence I knew this would be one chance to ever get to hunt a moose and maybe my only chance to ever get to see one. My trip started with a four hour car ride through the Adirondacks to Lake Champlain and then Burlington Vermont. The first day me and my dad woke up after spending the night in Burlington we got up bright and early to meet our guide for the hunt. He lead us to the camp we would be staying at for the next week. We were right on the Canadian border in the northeast corner of Vermont. There was not much in this

Years ago, most people thought that it would remain impossible to click a button and place an order to buy something. Today about “195 million online American consumers” order take-out, book hotels, flights or even grocery shop (Weinstein 1). Many people can pay bills and transfer money to other people through a click of a button on their smartphone. 100,000 online consumers took a survey to reveal that most people preferred online shopping than physical shopping. 73% said it “[was] time saving” and also 58% of those people said they “liked it more because there were no crowds or lines.”(Weinstein 2). Consumers care more about the time used up than going to the store to look and try out the product in person. The internet offers a huge amount of choice and diversity in how people want to do things. But with the majority favoring online shopping, it just shows the laziness of our

Internet is part of almost every Canadians' daily life now. Internet has changed the way they work, shop, gather information, and communicate with friends and family. In 2007, 85% of the boomers used the Internet, 21% seniors went online as well. However, since 2000, growth rates of Internet use have been highest among seniors (16%). The increase in Internet use rates among older Canadians will likely persist as today’s seniors continue to adopt the Internet as an information tool. Additionally, because almost 80% of the baby boom generation are current Internet users, as these individuals age their continued use of the Internet is likely. This social trend of our Canadian will definitely be an opportunity for Geek Squad. More and more boomers and seniors we will be rely on computers and internet. Most of these peoples don’t have the ability to figure out the complicated problem of the computers or internet problem. Geek Squad could focus on this group of their customers and provide a suitable service to meet their needs. At the same time, it will bring a lot of profit to the company.

Consumerism is the center of American culture. Americans tend to confuse their wants with their needs. With new advances in technology, as well as the help of advertisers, people are provided with easy access to new products that seem essential to their everyday life, even though they have survived this long without them. People cannot live without food, clothing, and shelter. But realistically, according to people's different lifestyles, more than food, clothing, and shelter are needed. Most people need to work to survive. Unless a job is either in their own home, or within walking distance, a means of transportation is needed. Whether it be a vehicle, money for a taxi-cab, or a token for a ride on the subway, money must be spent
