The integration is having a major impact on the way that people within corporations accomplish their jobs and as such it is of significant interest as an area of study. The focus that was chosen was to attempt to gain an understanding of the issues and affects that new technology is having on a larger business via an interview with someone in either middle of upper management.

Since widespread availability of the Internet occurred in the late 1990s, media and technological advances have bred more media and technological advances. While that is wonderful news for the consumer, it leaves companies struggling to stay on top of changes occurring at an almost daily rate–so much so that often time technological departments have been bolstered just to keep organizations competitive on the online.

Over the past few years technology has caused significant changes in the way enterprises conduct business.

Over the years, technology has become a major part for a business and for an individual as well. Technology has become so advance that it has made a major effect for the staff as well as for the customers. New technology has helped in many areas such as data and information storage, advertising, transportation and communication.

Technology changes the way companies do business throughout the globe. At one period in history when a technological change was introduced in an organization, it was a big deal because, unlike current advancements, the changes were not made so frequently. Every day, upgrades and new products are developed to make companies more efficient and productive. In the mid-1990s with the use of the Internet, companies realized that more people would be spending his or her hard-earned money online than ever before.

Technological innovations are providing new means of developing, sourcing, managing, and delivering applications and services. Businesses are more in need to find technological solutions to aid their achievement of long-term financial sustainability as the economy has become more global. The dynamic transformation of computers being able to communicate with each other has brought out a revolution which affects every industry within the economy. Skills in web design and computer programming are in demand by businesses allowing opportunities for one to grow.

In the recent years, many businesses have undergone several organizational changes due to the rapid and continual increase innovation in technology that exposes organizational systems and processes, increase diverse markets and create opportunities for more growth and revenue through adequate knowledge of their needs and expectations in the marketplace which concedes employees and organization as a whole to experience rapid change like never before as they move freely within the organization.

Technology has become an every expanding subject and material ever since its first introduction to the world. The largest expansion and introduction of new technology has been in the last decade. Companies and organizations are replacing employees with technology. It can be seen and heard throughout major and minor companies and organizations throughout the United States. A prime example of technology changing an entire market is within the travel agency field. Before the Internet and new technology, if one wanted to book a trip or flight they would have to go into a physical store and talk with a human that would do all the paperwork necessary to purchase a trip. Nowadays those stores have completely disappeared. What was once a store found in every shopping center is now only find in a handful of cities through the United States. The physical stores have turned into websites found on the World Wide Web and the humans have turned into software programs.

There have been many technological advances over recent years which have impacted upon business. These advances have enabled organisations to expand into different areas, move business online and into the global market, sometimes without leaving their home country.

Knowledge is the outcome of the learning process (Huber, 2004, p. 119). It can be acquired by purchasing information from a data brokers, observing the environment, through research and development, or acquired vicariously. Organizational learning is a process of change that occurs when individuals within an organization change their beliefs, and act on those beliefs in ways that enhances an organizations performance (Huber, 2004, p. 118). To survive the competitive nature of future markets, organization must evolve and adapt with technological advances to enhance or improve their products and services. Failure to do so could result in their demise or a loss of market share. A review of technological advances and

In a world of seemingly clever machines that can tell us where to go, how to get there, solve equations and even tell us where else is that actor from. We often no longer feel the need to think for ourselves. With the help of technology, we are making ourselves dumb. We no longer need to try and remember when someone’s birthday is or even what the number to call them is. “Some experts believe excessive use of the Internet, cellphones and other technologies can cause us to become more impatient, impulsive, forgetful and even more narcissistic.” (Parker-pope, Tara) Our phones remember everything for us and send us alerts so why even bother?

Technology has proved itself do the unexpected for millions of people worldwide. Microsoft has used advertisements to advance their technology in various ways. This commercial, that came out during the super bowl, opens with the former NFL player, Steve Gleason using Microsoft, a form of technology to help his fatal illness, ALS. This commercial also stresses how technology is helpful to people in all aspects of life. It shows how technology has the power to unite people by opening up the way to communicate face to face over long distances. Technology can inspire people to do astonishing things, including giving people who don’t have a leg or arm the ability to carry out life’s necessities with a prosthetic limb or even going to the moon

Society today trusts technology for far too many things that are not necessary. Instead of human face to face interactions and communication that have been used since the start of human existence it has become strictly email and networking based communication. There is no human contact that reinsures an individual that they have the support and love that accompanies friendship. Without that human contact that should come with friendship it is unsure to which the intent of the context is supposed to be interoperated. The use of technology in regards to friendship is not all harmful there are some positives, but it continuously blurs the lines of what friendship is or is not thus resulting in devastation. Philia as understood by the Greeks ceases to exist, it is no longer represented by emotions but rather emoticons, and technology transforms its understandings from physical to platonic. “The idea of friendship in ancient times could not have been more different. Achilles and Patroclus, David and Jonathan, Virgil’s Nisus and Euryalus: Far from being ordinary and universal, friendship, for the ancients, was rare, previous, and hard-won” (Deresiewicz 2009, 2). True friendship involves depth and love to which one cannot receive through a computer screen but its convenience allows for immediate and accessible communication.
