Technical Communication : Technology And Ongoing Research

The Kindle, Nook, and similar e-readers were created with the hopes of keeping literature alive in the digital age by converting traditional ink texts into swipeable and chargeable electronic documents. With this shifting market, authors and publishers alike have adapted in order to keep up with demand. Authors agree to allow their books to be digitally downloadable, and the books are then made purchasable for a cheaper price than print. Since the creation of e-readers, many new publication companies operating solely electronically have popped up to offer old and new authors alike the chance to be published digitally. If an author finds it particularly difficult to get their work published traditionally, they may turn to electronic publishing in order to get their work to the

The thesis in “Kindle vs. iPad” is “Both the iPad and Kindle offer a reasonably pleasant digital reading experiences; however, they vary substantially in terms of their overall capabilities” (Ingram). The authors support the thesis by comparing the differences between the two electronics.

The last few decades, technology have made so much progress that today humans are allowed to do things that never even crossed their mind, modifying the plants and animals and all that progress is for the benefit of people. Technology has made a great impact in business, communication, education, healthcare, etc. Today in the healthcare, medical research has become extremely advanced, and every disease seemingly has a cure or at least a prevention; it has advanced with the discovery of many drugs and medications that have helped prevent many deadly diseases and disorders at also has developed with medical techniques that can help cure many diseases. A revolutionary genome-editing tool known as CRISPR- Cas9 is based on something that bacteria do naturally. About a decade ago, scientists realized that bacterial cells possess a defense system that recognizes and chops up the DNA of invading viruses. This revolutionary genome tool could be able to eliminate cancer, malaria, cure blindness, edit human, etc. According to crazy-things-we-can-do-with-crispr-cas9 published by Jay Bennett on Jan 26, 2016, people are already using the tool to make changes in organisms that could revolutionize agriculture, lead to new treatments for diseases with no cure, or even modify human embryos.

There are many different accidents that may occur that law enforcement may encounter on a day to day bases. Officers must know how to react to these calls in order to effective communicate with others. Effective communication will allow an officer the know how to specifically get the help that he needs in order to complete the task with the correct tools. The police officer needs to be able to communicate with the accident victims, another officer, the department, or even the dispatcher. There are different types of accidents that may occur such as fire accidents, auto accidents, homicides, robberies and

In today’s world, designing a website has become a piece of cake. With powerful designing tools that are available online, anyone can design quality websites in a much shorter amount of time. But the question to be asked is, “How would a website designer know that his/her website would be user friendly?” Usability testing is the answer. By definition, usability testing is the evaluation of a product or service by testing it on the user. Since the product is for the user, it is necessary that users are involved during the process of creating a product or service. Today, usability testing is not only limited to the field of information technology, but plays a major role in technical communication. In this report, I will talk about usability

The reading I will be analysing is The Humanisation of Media by Robert G Picard. Robert G Picard is a leading academic expert on media businesses and media policy. Robert is known for being the father of media economics studies. The issues he talking about overcoming the limits of mass communication. Another interesting issue he is talking about is the how technology of social media changes the way we communicate.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm this morning it is interesting to see how many objects in our lives can be completely replaced by smartphones.

A boy named Tim was at school learning about history when the principal made an announcement.

If you take a look at the past and present, you will see individuals have changed massively. No time in the past, has there been many innovations evolved so rapidly with endless offering solutions to the world such as music to air traveling and medicine to banking, all these transformed the way we live today. What truly is the most significant innovation is communication technology. The establishment of modern communication technologies has reformed the way today's generation interacting in society. While some people feel that this kind of technology has problems, moreover has outcomes that are beneficial to the world.

Living in a globalized world has certainly altered our way of perceiving reality by breaking the distance barrier through technology and at the same time making everything, including changes, faster. An example of this is the speed in which relationships, especially between young people, start and end oftentimes mediated by communication technologies. In a matter of seconds, people located on opposite sides and hemispheres of the Earth connect with each other in a virtual space and create what is called a “friendship”, regardless of how close they really are.

Amazon’s pure-play (virtual) business which operates on the internet only without a physical store has used the Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) to revamp the book-selling industry which allows customers to connect to the World Wide Web to purchase all type of books such as: kindle e-books, new or used textbooks, audio books, and magazines. Amazon has created a home shopping network that allows customers to make purchases without leaving there home view

In this paper, I will critically analyze the effect of e-readers on the book industry. First, I will describe how the industry has changed in the last decade since the Kindle was introduced. Then, I will analyze trends between the book industry and other industries that face similar technological disruption. Then, I will provide broader societal context for those trends and interpret their meaning. Finally, I will evaluate whether the disruption has had good or bad effects for both producers and consumers, and discuss potential learning opportunities for

In that last few year he introduced a tablet called the Kindle. The kindle is a small tablet that at first was created to read books and to be able to order directly from amazon. With tablets gaining popularity like the iPad from apple and the Android tablets by many other competitors, amazon up graded there Kindle in to the Kindle fire, which now is also a

Language evolves along us as we grow up. I grew up talking Cantonese with my parents. At elementary school, I took ESL classes. With my brothers, I spoke Pidgin with them. As technology grew exponentially, language became a part of technology’s close companion. Social media has changed the way people have spoken in the past with new acronyms and new words, and connected people left behind in the social world. While people focus on the negative effects of social media, technology is helpful for communication in many aspects.

In the world of technological advances the earth has evolved into, people are communicating more often and easier than ever. The modes of communication are endless, including: text, email, social media, phone calls, letters, fax, radio, podcast, and live via virtual video. Each one of these modes of communication opens a window of opportunity for a person to demonstrate rude behavior or improper etiquette. Have you ever been to dinner with a friend to “catch up” and found yourself staring at them as they stare into their cell phone? In this instance, it is believed that the person simply does not know they are being rude. Their rudeness is caused by mere ignorance or the thought that it is socially acceptable now (LaBossiere 2008). A means of communication is literally at one’s fingertips at all times, it not only distracts them from the world surrounding them, but the people they encounter. Cell phones have become such a part of our daily lives that they are often the thing we reach for the minute we wake up and the last thing we look at before going to bed (Woollaston 2015).
