Technology is changing so fast that companies and indiividuals are getting rid of their %26quot;old%26quot; PC's. So what is happenig to all these personal computers? Is someone destroying them? Are they being disassembled? Are they being sent to third world countries? Are the PC's being ovehauled or recycled? I really wonder what is happening to these pieces of junk!
Where do all the obsolete PC's go to? Are they being thrown away in sanitary deposits?
Where I live there is a foundation that takes donated old computers and gets them up to par..then they give them out free to children here in the school systems..It's called No Child Left Out or something like that and their basis is that every child can benefit from having a computer in their home..Pretty neat idea. :)
When I get a new one, I know I will be donating mine.

i might give mine to the orphanage.........or some poor ppl...
A lot wind up in landfills but now there are centers opening that take them apart and salvage the components. There is one in Chattanooga that hires handicapped workers.
They are being sent to a secret government facility in Tazmania. A super computer is being built from the rubbish. I shall call it %26quot;Hal 2008%26quot;.
I'm gonna donate mine pretty soon to my underpriviliged little brothers. My tightwad stepdad still has them using a Gateway Performance 750 from '99 running Windows 98SE. I've upgraded the RAM and upgraded to Windows XP, but some hardware was incompatible. Since my dad thinks the internet is evil, I signed them up for two free Juno and NetZero accounts. So they get 20 free hours of extremely slow dial up service per month.
I'll give them my old upgraded (and overclocked) Pavilion A320N. Should make them happy.
Also, some old PCs are converted into servers.

What is Web 2.0? What is its basic concept and implementation?
Web 2.0 is a term describing changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the web.

What is Web 2.0? What is its basic concept and implementation?
Web 2.0 is a term describing changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, secure information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and its hosted services, such as social-networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term became notable after the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004.[2][3] Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users utilize the Web.
Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Web 2.0 refers to a perceived second generation of web-based communities, and hosted services 鈥?such as social-networking sites, wikis and folksonomies 鈥?which aim to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users.

Does anyone else just feel overwhelmed by technology and how much things have changed?
for example, there did not used to be ANY computers, the internet, ipods, cell phones, video games, or any of this other stuff that exists today AT ALL. Now, these things exist in such great numbers and forms that I don't even know about all of them. There are also all sorts of different websites, blogs, things you can do, places you can go, games you can play things you can buy, and so much other stuff that I don't even know what to do anymore. I just think it is really sad that the world has gone a time when everything existed in a sole simple form to where there are multiple forms of everything, so much so that I am literally overwhelmed by all of the brands or types of things.
Does anyone else just feel overwhelmed by technology and how much things have changed?
yes,,,,all these choices we have for EVERYTHING will be the ruination of this planet.

Where do you see the world in 100 years?
What do you think the world will be like in regards to environmental issues, famines, wars, peace, religion, economics, technology, etc. Also, do you think any countries or regions will take over other countries or regions, or do you believe any countries or regions may split. Also add whatever other changes that you believe will occur.
Where do you see the world in 100 years?
Everything is literally crumbled to the ground.... Everybody is dead.
Where do you see the world in 100 years?
Obliterated by the Space Aliens
ina bad bad situation... global warming... and not the same as it is today.. and tomorrow... and the day after that... ETC.
We will have a gay president America will not exist, and we will have a lot more neat gadgets. Every thing else will be the same. There will always be poor people black people will still be sing we shall over come, and white people will still be just as raciest.
things will stay relatively constant like they always have. 100 years is not that far in the future. technology, of course, will probably be the most different. Maybe we'll even have teleportation fine tuned by then. Moon colonization is possible. Maybe going for vacation into outer space won't be uncommon (remember, it was only 30 years after the Wright brothers flew that commercial airliners boomed in popularity). As far as religion goes, I think religious influences will lessen as has been the trend since the european reformation. War will be just as common. We only have enough resources for 9.5 billion people on this planet, and we're at almost 7 billion now, so I could see wars being fought over the Himalayan water supply and such.
It's going to be interesting! Oh and global warming won't end human kind...
We would be totally blown away,
Imagine life 100 years ago.
Almost Nothing, is standing that they helped build. except some broken down windmills in the fields.
, now I can look out of any window and see at least a few of those windmills we have on our wind farm.
I am almost blown away by it all and I'm only sixty. TVs, cell phones, camera's, modern medicine, and wow here's a tool that I can ask any question and with a break of 4 hours I can get 30 different answers for anything I wish to ask. Who would of thought it?
and the future, like a hundred years from now, you and everyone older than yourself will be dead. Countries may decide to be at peace and realize one supreme Commander. Global warming, could have the effect of people to populate Antarctica, and Alaska. And Be the most tightly packed places on Earth. All brand new architecture, and things we can't even begin to predict.

What changes have happened and are happening to us and to the world?
What have changed in the environment we live in, the technologies we use, etc.
Please help me think of more answers. Thanks a lot..
What changes have happened and are happening to us and to the world?
Your question isn't entirely clear, but I hope my answer helps...
Changes to the environment are positive and negative.
NEGATIVE (some ideas)
%26gt;%26gt;pollution of our resources, light pollution (shown to have an effect on human hormones), water pollution, noise pollution
%26gt;%26gt;world disasters: drought, hurricanes, etc.
%26gt;%26gt;increase in environmentally related diseases (cancer, for one)
%26gt;%26gt;the fast-paced lifestyle that precludes people stopping to help someone and produces stress and stress-related diseases (heart),
%26gt;%26gt;the effects of terrorism and the Patriot Act
%26gt;%26gt;the spread of nuclear weapons
======================================鈥?br>
POSITIVE
%26gt;%26gt;the ability to connect with anyone from any location: cell phones, internet, satellite technology
%26gt;%26gt;the internet has provided an amazing resource and wealth of information (Google Earth, for example)
%26gt;%26gt;computerized technology that diagnoses problems such as car malfunctioning
%26gt;%26gt;Kindle...e-books
%26gt;%26gt;leisure devices (electronic gaming, etc)
%26gt;%26gt;advances in the medical technological field, CATSCAN, MRI's etc.
%26gt;%26gt;changes in cancer treatment...this is an ongoing thing. I received treatments for throat cancer this year that were not available 5 years ago. (I'm fine, btw) and I've noticed that even more recently, people are being given new forms of treatment. They've developed a bag that people wear 24/7 that administers chemo gradually.
Maybe some of these points will give you more ideas.how do i setup my tv tuner card dynamic editing

How does technology rapidly change?
Around the world and stuff
How does technology rapidly change?
New stuff gets made. People find the new stuff cool, and start making new stuff for the new stuff. Eventually the old stuff gets so behind because nobody makes stuff for it anymore, that it becomes obsolete. Repeat to infinity.
How does technology rapidly change?
Supply and Demand. There is a huge demand for new technology - in our Technological Age. We rapidly surge forth discovering new realms of technological advances that we can attain and then mass produce them for the general public.
Some realms of technology that we are just now peering into is quantum technology and bacterial technology. With these we can make large strides forward, discovering new ventures and products to be consumed by the masses.

How did World War Two effect American food culture?
In terms of technology, tastes, dishes and preferences how did the WW2 change American tastes and food culture in the long term?
How did World War Two effect American food culture?
As a kid I remember not being able to have a lot of things to eat. Meat, sugar, coffee and many other things at times were hard to come by. I still remember breaking that yellow packet to turn white margarine %26quot;butter%26quot; yellow.
How did World War Two effect American food culture?
people ate more canned and frozen food becuase it was mass produced for the military.
People started to eat processed and %26quot;fake%26quot; food for the first time; margarine for example.
