6. Although having a wireless device is handy, it is also an intrusion...people need some privacy...they should not always be reachable...what are your thoughts in this regard?
Mobile phones in the recent years have become much more powerful than before by allowing users to browse the internet, check your email, and download programs. But these new abilities means there is a greater risk for viruses, malware, and other threats to your privacy. A mobile device with Wi-Fi capability brings security concerns as the devices can connect to unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots for internet access. Mobile devices might not include security features to directly combat Wi-Fi threats. Anyone within range can eavesdrop on the data someone send and receive from the

With technology, small businesses can implement technology at the level as larger organizations. Most organizations consider implementing technology in their planning processes that allows owners to create operations using the best technology available. For organizations to develop competitive advantage in the economic marketplace today, companies commonly try to develop a strong information technology infrastructure consisting of computers, servers, and digital products. Technology has also helped organizations improve their employees’ productivity that save them time completing tasks to focus on important things such as precision and creativity. Organizations have driven down the cost of processing data using technology by manipulating and transferring large volumes of data to various units within their organization. Technology has also improved collaboration within organizations where employees can connect with their coworkers anytime and from any location. Technology has offered a number of connectivity options that facilitate continued discussion and collaboration among work teams in situations where persons might not be in office physically which includes teleworking, off work assignments, and video
Ultimately the end users turn out to be the weak link in the security chain as they ignore the latest security trends and install outdated devices that do not support the latest security features. An example would be that of an outdated wireless router that does not support WPA encryption. By proposing a simple solution that lets the users configure their wireless access points for best possible security, the problem can be nipped in the bud.
While technological innovations can provide increased opportunities for organizations and give them a competitive advantage, not all employees respond well to changes in their everyday workflow. When an organization updates its systems, it can face some resistance from employees, especially when the employees do not feel properly trained and lack the confidence in using the new system. Employees may grow frustrated and become less productive and efficient. In some extreme cases, technology can also replace some of their duties and make their positions obsolete, leaving them out of a job. This ties back to the need for job security. Technology has come a long way in the past 50 years and the types of challenges just mentioned are a lot more common in this day and age than they were before. Therefore, managers need to adapt to this changes in the work environment and find a way to satisfy their employees’ needs while increasing work performance and
Also, technology has been a major factor for the addition of Autonomy in the workplace in the past ten years. Video calling services through companies like skype, have allowed employees to be free from the confines of the office space (TR). Technology has given employees the option to work from anywhere they feel the most comfortable. Moreover, technology has also brought lower cost to companies, because they no longer have to fly employees to distant locations for meetings. Also, I want to add that it has decreased the size of the office
Technology grows exponentially, meaning that the more it grows the faster it grows, yet in dealing with this technology we can in turn learn how to decrease our work time while increasing our productivity. We have definitely come a long way from the pony express and telegraph, yet it is not so long ago that we do not still use their predecessors, surface mail and telephones. With current technological advancements it is now possible to communicate across the planet instantaneously, thanks to wide-band technology, fiber optics, and satellites all of which make possible this possible. With the invention of the printing press by Gutenburg in 1434, and subsequently the first book in print, he can be credited as the father of the information age. Accompanying the birth of the information age came an explosion of new technological advances designed to improve how we communicate. These advancement have had many glitches and shortcomings which have been improved upon again and again.
Introduction: This is a 21th century, technology is the most important and improved thing of the human life. It makes life easier and faster. Development of faster sophisticated technology we have better and fast life. So all we are connect each other by computer network. There are two different way of network: Wired and wireless. Now day we can found network almost everywhere. Home, business, public place, Airport, Planes, hospitals, school, train everywhere we can found networking. Therefore, almost every sector of the economy that has affected by wired and wireless technology. Wired network and wireless protect both has security, But in general wireless network is less secure than wired networks. For proper security AP (access point) and its antenna should be right position. Also add a wireless access point or use a wireless router we can connect to network wirelessly. AS we using more and more of devices (smart phones, tablet and computers) rely on wireless networking, we have to improve our network security too.
But in the use of the term “technology” today, there is far more associated meaning than automobiles or washing machines. It has ushered in an entirely new way of working, and in increasing numbers of organizations, increased options of just where work associated with a particular job will be done. More employees than ever have the option of working at home yet still being employed either full...
Remote Access | As more of the knowledge based workforce become more mobile, the ability to be able to access cooperate data while not in the office is essential to employee productivity. This not only increases mobile employees’ productivity, but also has a significant impact on other employees and their productivity since information can be updated in the central corporate database providing near real-time information.
Technology has, since the primitive years, always been used to invent tools in order to solve problems. This would, in turn, simplify and make man’s life easier. Through advancements in the field, man has become more efficient on both the macro- and microscopic level. Anything can be attained with either the flip of a switch or the click of a mouse. One particular technology that came about at this time was the smartphone.
Organizations and individuals have to strategically position themselves in order to take advantage of the growing technology and achieve business competitive advantage while at it (DeHaven 2010 pg 1).

Someone is always claiming that their inventions will revolutionize the world, but no invention has had more success over the years, in the cellular world than mobile applications. People all around the world use millions to billions of applications daily for personal and business uses. For example, social networking which is use by all generations of people. It has an influence the way we purchase cell phones, in order to have the capability. With the creation of different smartphones and tablets, comes the demand for more mobile applications. This causes competition among application builders. Mobile applications are designed to its user making their experience less complicated. Mobile applications have their advantages and disadvantages, depending on its design and designer. They can be created to be very simple or complex, depending on its intended function. Has society benefited from the usages of mobile applications or is it just a distraction. What impact do mobile applications have on society.
It is undeniable that smartphones have now become an essential part of everyone’s daily life. We use smartphones for many activities such as instant messaging, web browsing, social networks, sending and receiving e-mail, media storage, online banking, and so on. When smartphones and its applications are rising in number, it comes with the higher risk of malware, virus, spyware, or snooping software that can access and steal user's important personal information. Therefore, here are six recommendations that can improve the security and privacy of smartphones:
Technology has changed modern society drastically, both positively and negatively. Technology has influenced every aspect of our life, making it simpler but not necessarily better. Albert Einstein was concerned about the advancement of technology. "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction."1 Undoubtedly, what has changed the most are communication, the spread of information, and how business is practiced. Consequently, practically everyone knows how to use a computer, connect to the Internet, or use a smartphone. This is demonstrated by the way the Internet is used daily by millions of people to communicate, to sell, advertise, retrieve, and share information. Thanks to the Internet, information from anywhere in the world is at our fingertips. As a result, the advancement of technology has changed our life in many ways including; sharing of information, communication, business, education, social interaction, simplifying everyday tasks, replacing basic skills and jobs.
Advances in technology have changed businesses dramatically, in particular the communication and information technology that are conducted in firms, which changed the appearance and pace of businesses over the past few decades. ICT in particular, has evolved a lot over the past 30 years; important information can be stored in computers rather than being in drawers enabling information to be transferred at a greater volume and speed (Guy, 2009). ICT has also expanded various forms of telecommunications and workload conducted in businesses, internet examples of this include: e-mails can be used to communicate with others...
The integration of a variety of information systems into business operations is necessary for growth in the dynamic business environment. These information systems can be minimized and fixed into mobile devices such as smartphones. The use of smartphones can play an important role in supporting business processes and operations, developing strategies for competitive advantage and decision making. These smartphones allow employees to be linked to the office, its data and resources, without being in the office. The use of smartphones for business processes can make the business more efficient and effective. They make it easier for co-workers to communicate among themselves and facilitates better communication between the business and its employees, customers, suppliers and even other businesses, and makes it possible in real-time. For CPS Energy and Lloyd’s Construction, although they were doing well, they realised that they could do much better. They needed to find new ways to further cut costs and maximize profitability. They both decided that the best way to do that was through the introduction of smartphones in their business operation.
However, due to all these facilities people no longer need to meet in person as much, and interpersonal relationships are suffering worldwide because people are communicating through a small handheld device. Lots of people have Smartphones and they use them almost semi-continuously, including in public settings when they could be making new friends, finding new lovers, and talking/interacting with their current friends. When technology solves one of our problems, we keep immediately coming up with new, larger problems, no technology will ever be able to satisfy our constantly new needs. However, if we allow technology to make our life easier, and focus more on the quality, rather than the quantity of life, and also learn how to use technology to our greatest advantage, such as how to use it to influence others, we can all greatly benefit. For example, the invention of the car allowed us to save time, when compared to walking.
