Technology and social change go hand-in-hand with the advancement of the workforce society within the last decade. Thanks to new technological breakthroughs emerging on a regular basis, the way we view employment has changed drastically compared to those of years before us. Dating back to the 1400's, Johan Gutenberg revolutionized the world as we know it today by developing the printing press. Today, we take such things for granted but it is writing that makes it possible to spread knowledge, communication, and ideas over such a wide body of population.

People are making higher and higher salaries now not for what they can physically produce, but what they can mentally achieve. Because of this absolute change in economic personality, the job market has changed as well. The need for a developed mind is much greater than the need for a developed body.

Perhaps the biggest difference in the workplace of the twenty-first century is the types of skills that work demands. A century ago, people had to develop the industrial skills needed for making things; today, people in the postindustrial economy must develop literacy skills needed to created and manipulate symbols (words, ideas, music, and computer code).

Another great invention was the radio. In such a short amount of time, every house ended up owning one. Radios were starting to become a national obsession that was uniting the nation. Most people would stay up late to listen to the news, sports, and concerts. The radio impacted life during this decade by allowing people to keep up with all of various events and
Every day millions of people wake up, get dressed and head out for a long day of work. Many of these people may work at a local McDonald’s, Wal-Mart, Dillard’s, or gas station. Some people choose to work at home on a computer blogging, selling items on the internet and even making entertaining videos. Present day society is quite different than society years ago, before and during the Industrial Revolution. Today the people of the world have more opportunities for advancements than before. The world has evolved significantly over time, and
Over the years, there has been a great impact on society and the workforce due to the shift from a manufacture driven economy to a retail and service driven one. One of the main causes of this is the outsourcing of manufacturing and entry-level jobs to those overseas in order for the company to earn more profit. They hire foreign workers to be employed for little wages and take openings away from those living in the United States where the products will be sold. Therefore, there are few job openings, particularly in the expanding service industry, for those without advanced degrees and more people are fighting for them during the past decade due to the Great Recession. A significant problem associated with this is that people are forced to
Technology has made a huge difference in the world since history, and it has been a reason why people are more social. In the old times since the 1960’s to the 1980’s many people didn't knew where many things came from or they didn't knew how it was made or know anything about technology. Until, in the year 1440 printing press came as a form of technology to people that allowed them to write news on newspapers and inform the people many things about what was going on in the world and how many things were created.
Many great innovations that benefited people came to earth in the 19th and 20th century. These new creations vastly improved people’s way of lives by making things easier and faster to do while some provide news and knowledge in a flash. The amazing ideas were formulated by brilliant inventors so that they could address the current needs to prevent time consuming tasks and at the same time deliver good results. Through these notable wonders which we often use were the computer, television, radio and telephone people were able to live fully and efficiently. We tackled about the most useful things and how did they become our everyday need and without these said
The telegraph set the stage for many future inventions including many of the present inventions. Prior to the invention

Consequently, this change in hiring is fueling the new generation, the millennials. Additionally, many people have become successful without higher schooling for their profession, for example; Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Ina Garten. Evidently, the talent based success of other celebrities shows that for certain fields, passion is worth more than the rising price for a diploma. Understanding the need for certain professions and knowing what they are looking for in an employee has the potential to save the stress and money for college and help take an individual to their dream job sooner and more efficiently. Clearly, this belief was not founded nor liked in the early twentieth century.

Security is one of the major challenges that is being faced by the world today, as seen by continuous revelations about breaches and incidents. On this note of insecurity and unpredictability, banking industry is keen to redefine its approach to security thereby making an attempt to balance three critical factors i.e. cost, innovation and risk. On parallel grounds, the domain of internal security is undergoing drastic changes that mandates banking institutions to embrace new set of skills and practices. Fraud can be categorized as a business risk – it is like a sword of Damocles over a bank’s future. This must change for the good. The rapid pace with which the technology is changing, like the recent explosion of cellular customers, is
In today’s IT world, as many departments compete to keep up with the changes in technology, employees in the company increasingly want to use their own devices to access the information. Bring your own device (BYOD) which is also called as bring your own technology (BYOT), bring your own phone (BYOP), bring your own PC (BYOPC), commonly allude to an IT policy of allowing employees to bring their own mobile devices such as laptops and smart phones to their office, and to use those gadgets to access confidential company information and its applications. It has evolved to authorize workforces through a phenomenon commonly known as Consumerization of Information Technology (IT).
