Assignment no. 4

We can't deny the fact that technology is getting better and better, I think almost everyday. And this technology that is constantly evolving is used by us to make our lives better. Like, for example, cellphones. We almost always see new models of different brands of cellphones in displays of cellphone shops and also in TV commercials. These newer cellphones have newer and more useful functions that make the user contented.

This also happens in corporations. With the aid of new technology, their work is getting more efficient and more fast. And with the Internet, 21st century corporations are developing new ways to market their products. Companies that sell products could sell their products more by advertising or promoting it in the Net, or simply they could sell it there.

But I hope that people will not get a negative effect on the issue of human resource. Just because there are computers doesn't mean that there are less jobs. There are so many jobs available. Its just that there are tasks that only computers can do. I think there will always be human intervention in corporations and the like.

There is also an issue here that may concern 21st century corporations that may be really good or really bad:
"Technology developments show no sign of ending. Communications and control technology continues to augment the intelligence of individual humans, collections of humans, and machines. Cultures are forced into the position of sharply defining humanity and determining boundaries on desire, thought, communication, behavior, and manufacturing. Some, notably Ray Kurzweil have predicted that by the middle of the century there will be a Technological Singularity if artificial intelligence that outsmart humans is created. If these AIs then create even smarter AI's technological change will accelerate in ways that are impossible for us to foresee. (However, gradual and simultaneous use of AI technology to increase our own intelligence might prevent this from ever occurring.)"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_century#

I think it's up to 21st century corporations if they use this(if it ever comes to this), for the better or for the worse of the people.
