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.
Where do all the obsolete PC's go to? Are they being thrown away in sanitary deposits?
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;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.

What invention will be consider important.?
What invention or technology has changed the world through progressing years. other than cars, electricity, cotton gin and internet.
What invention will be consider important.?
The semi conductor (used in computers) and the computer of course.
What invention will be consider important.?
X-rays! On November 8, 1895 Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered x-rays. The discovery has led to a revolution in medicine-- medical imaging. If you need some reference material there is plenty on Wikipedia.org-- just look up %26quot;Wilhelm Roentgen%26quot;... I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's likely fairly close.

With English you can become a teacher, and there is always a demand for teachers. You also have summers off, so you can work on your novel then ;)

Why are politicians pushing ethanol and hybrid Technology when the solution is clearly hydrogen cars?
I don't believe in global warming, but I want a cleaner world with less real pollutants (mercury, carcinogens, phosphorus, and what not). If we a are going to radically change our environmental policy why would we not go with a zero emission solution...are special interests once again in the way?
Why are politicians pushing ethanol and hybrid Technology when the solution is clearly hydrogen cars?
I agree with you ....on both points.
But right now there is no workable hydrogen engine. It uses more energy to create the hydrogen then the car produces so we still need to burn oil or coal to create the hydrogen.
Nuclear is the most viable and cleanest technology that we have today. Modern reactors produce little to no waste.
Edit:
Yes this process could be used to either crate the hydrogen or charge electric cars...all pollution free.
Why are politicians pushing ethanol and hybrid Technology when the solution is clearly hydrogen cars?
But, the technology is not yet great enough for them to work correctly and efficiently in different regions. For example, what is their exhaust? H2O. So, this would not be too efficient in colder regions.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it. Advances just have to be made. Hydrogen would be the cleanest energy source (beyond solar) for transportation.
Politics and government are NEVER the solution to a problem.
GE doesn't have a plan for hydrogen.
Ethanol and hybrid technology are probably transitional forms of energy for automobiles. I have read some interesting articles in a few Science and Technology magazines that predict that hydrogen technology will soon evolve to the point where it will become feasible and less costly. They give it about 5 to 10 more years before consumers will have more choices.
I remember when the news media kept stating that electric or hybrid cars would never be feasible because the price was too high to become popular. In my city, nearly an eighth of the newer cars I seen on the roads are hybrids, including taxis and many are now becoming available as used cars when their owners trade them in for the newer, more powerful and more roomier hybrids.
3 problems with hydrogen cars....
1) Energy cost to create hydrogen out weights the benefits
2) Distribution systems would have to be created... HUGE HUGE HUGE costs. Just ask the gas companies. (No car will simply run off of the water coming out of the garden hose... sorry)
3) Unstable and VERY flammable. You wouldn't need the traffic report anymore because you could tell where the accidents were at by the mushroom clouds.
Innovation has a process and timeline.... it doesn't really speed up by simply throwing more money at it.hair braiding best web host

Going into university, I would like to know what career fields have most potencial in the next 5 to 10 years?
I am going into university from high school soon, and I am thinking of what field I should go into. I am strong in physics, math, chemistry, and information technology.
My teachers had said that the world had changed over the past decade, many jobs and careers that existed are gone, and many new careers are introduced because of many new technologies. (Take computer programmers and webpage designers for example)
Some people say that the field of economics has potential in the future. Maybe a career in electrical engineering, or something in buisness. What courses should i take if i want to be self-employed.
So confused... any advice?
Going into university, I would like to know what career fields have most potencial in the next 5 to 10 years?
There will always be a growing need in health care. Job stability is most assured here.
Going into university, I would like to know what career fields have most potencial in the next 5 to 10 years?
Nurses and doctors are always in top demand all around the world. You'd never be out of work ever.
Medical fields in general will only continue to grow. I would try to specialize in something, lots of school, but lots of money when you're done.

Judging from world events recently, can you honest say man is rational?
Is modern man any more rational than the cave dwellers? What can you point to that shows fundamental change? Maybe only the tools and technology is all that has changed.
Judging from world events recently, can you honest say man is rational?
Generally speaking people are used by others for whatever is needed. People who use others are cynical opportunists who use people's hate, fear, love, pain, and desire to get what they want. I opened a book on advertising and it had chapters with titles like %26quot;Into The Valley of the Sluts%26quot;. To my surprise even though it could have been written yesterday it was published in the early 1950's. People change very slowly.
Judging from world events recently, can you honest say man is rational?
soap and deodorant....otherwise we're all still savages. Is this the answer you wanted???
No. That is why I decided to undergo a controversial surgery and become an ape.
I live a wonderful life eating parasites off my friend's backs and enjoying raucuos crap fights.
Recently, no. But I consider the whole of world history and can't find a time where modern man acted rationally.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
If peace fell into the lap of man/womankind, he or she would start a war over who was responsible for it.
Not only judging from recent events, but from events going back a few thousand years, I don't think you can say man is rational. Alas, humankind still has some of the primitive behaviors that have not entirely evolved out of the species.
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.
No this lack of rationality is exemplified by Americans electing Bush and supporting wars which only destroy them but profit Bush,and not the people.
Well most people still believe in an invisible sky daddy, so I don't think people have made that much progress on the rational front. However, at least the tools are there to learn to understand the world in a rational manner. A caveman would have little basis for analysis of the world around him outside of his religion.
Not that a caveman didn't have the ability to implement inductive reasoning and create technology, the tools and skills they develop have shown otherwise. Only that he was unable to apply the same techniques to a wide range of problems like we are capable of doing today. Whether most people take advantage of this vast reservoir of knowledge is another story, but at least it is there for perusal.
We're still very Tribal in our thinking. All of our societies are built on an 'us and them' mentality. We are extremely predatory and aggressive creatures. And you really can't completely deny genetics. We need a new frontier into which we can channel our energies. I always regretted that we didn't get into Space in a much bigger, more blue collar way. Lob a bunch of roughnecks into space and tell them to build you something! Those ol boys would be lining up to go. And they'd get the job done too!
Fundamental point, we don't live in caves. If you want, do it and go back 10,000 years. Until then, leave the rest of modern society alone.
I can't even watch the news and think men are rational. Look at them! Even the reporters are acting bizarre. It's not like the news isn't bad enough. Can you actually watch a newscaster and think they are acting impartially? It would be funny if so much weren't at stake. We can just do our best. That's it. When we see unfair, prejudicial things staring us in the face, we do our best and leave the rest to God. He's probably the only one who is really impartial.

So i am 13 and i don`t believe that i grew up in a world that has such develop Technology because whatever time period it is currently will always be labeled as %26quot;the most develop time period%26quot; since humans are constaly making changes to technology. However I see technology today and it makes me sad because its suppose to make your life easier and instead it just gets more complex, i don't know complex in a good or bad way but complex. And when i see technology used decades ago i see how harder it was to clean clothes or to dry them or just to listen to radio and find a good song and etc etc but their lives seemed so simple. I feel as if i can`t appreciate life now if haven't lived life 60 through the 20th century. And that's my dream, to live through the past but obviously time machines don`t exist (yet!). I want to live life through the fullest right now because i am young now and should enjoy it but how can i if i feel i don`t even belong?

It's not so much the technology that makes you feel like you don't belong in this time, it's the culture of our times that abuses technology. So much of our technology is used to mindlessly entertain us and keep us distracted and disconnected. At 13 life is confusing enough without having all this tech shoved down your throat. You're still very young and trying to find where you belong, hell, I'm 21 and I'm still trying to find that one out.
The old days seem simple but are elusive so we must try to build ourselves to a point where we can live with as much connection to technology as we desire. One day I hope to be able to not have to depend on modern tech for anything. Grow my own food, build my own house from the earth, and create my own music/entertainment without the electronics.

that would explain why the technology known as 'spell check' eludes you
You sound insightful for your age. Sometimes I feel the same about technology, but even people in the past used to say modern technology depressed them.

2006 World Cup Goners to Touz,.. What one thing did Touz pick from the Devil?
She picked to be forever 21. ... making %26quot;temporary%26quot; losers out of many pretty ladies here...time passed, she lives,her friends and loved ones grow old and die. Touz hearing her death cheater Azzurri Man wannabe friends getting killed by copying Azzurri Man's stunts therefore she lose her friends to death.
Many years or eons later, things changed, culture changed,technology changed..many people some as young as 4 begin to think Touzours' looney because of her old year 2000 accent language. They threw her into a mental hospital.
Many years passed, foam mouthed Touzours typing a very outdated Qs in the 200006 FIFA World Cup forum ...most of time she type %26quot;where is Azzurri Man?%26quot;

Going into university, I would like to know what career fields have most potencial in the next 5 to 10 years?
I am going into university from high school soon, and I am thinking of what field I should go into. I am strong in physics, math, chemistry, and information technology.
My teachers had said that the world had changed over the past decade, many jobs and careers that existed are gone, and many new careers are introduced because of many new technologies. (Take computer programmers and webpage designers for example)
Some people say that the field of economics has potential in the future. Maybe a career in electrical engineering, or something in buisness. What courses should i take if i want to be self-employed.
So confused... any advice?

Choose something you love doing and the money will follow. Talk to parents and your school counselor let them advise you on a career. When you choose a major in college, most have a class that will give you what the average person makes in the field, what availability of jobs there are, what to expect. Then you will know what field to take. That's actually how I decided teaching wasn't for me. (Where I live a teacher makes minimum wage when they start out. Hopefully that's not still the case).Maybe attend some job fairs. If you want to be self employed I advise reading books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, books on how others made it, etc.

democracy studies for sure; in the next five to ten years america will have bombed the whole world into submission and all the survivors will be crying out for democracy
Medical, Medical, Medical!!!! People will never stop getting sick.. My friend is a doctor and he makes over 1 mill for his group practice. And he can never see enough patients in one day. But their is so many different fields in the medical profession that you could possiblly be self employed. Transcriptionist, Nurse in a private practice would be my ideal job. Good luck! and congratulations for getting into your university!

What information technology field?
Greetings
I am looking at a career in IT once I finish school and was wondering if someone could point me towards a suitable field to work in.
From what I understand the computing world is always changing so I am unsure of which area would be best to study as what is relevant now might not be 10 years later.
Any suggestions on what is a field that will be needed for a long time to come?
Many thanks for your assistance.

What information technology field?
In response to t-izzle, some universities offer a bachelor's in IT fields such as Networking and the like. Plus, you also have other fields like Management Information Systems and some others as well.
You should contact your college for more info.
What information technology field?
Software or Hardware will be suitable
A BA in Computer Science is pretty much the minimum you would need in a computer field. Get that, and then specialize by getting certifications for what you would want to do.
BA.CS. is basically programming, you can get into that directly out of college. But if you want to get into tech work, network setups, and the crazier stuff you can do... you're going to need certifications (compTIA.com or org... one of those will give you info on the tests.) Then either take classes (best way to learn since you get chances to actually do the stuff), or study on your own, pass the test, and go insane trying to find someone willing to give you the chance to work for free to get experience doing the work (even though for the last 2 years you did all the work in your class)
I would suggest doing what you enjoy, and what you're passionate about. As a passionate programmer in a small town, I have a personal problem with people who get in to the field for the money. The IT field is over saturated, and that over saturation is the cause of outsourcing tech support, apathetic help desk workers, and shoddy programming. Also know: IT is NOT easy! If you're going in to the field in hopes of a comfy chair and air conditioning, know that the pressure on programmers is heavy, and we're not above days and days with little to no sleep. Being a tech of any kind is also very difficult and especially stressful because of how much you have to deal with (often stupid) users.
TL;DR: Do something that makes you happy so I don't have to meet up with you in real life and hate you for doing it for the money.

Do you think the world in general has went downhill since older times?
This is especially for people who've been around to see the change. I'm young, and it seems that time has brought on some unpleasant change, but I haven't been around to actually watch it happen. Has technology become more of a burden than an aid? Are the ways we do things now better or worse than how they were done in the past? This is a very general question about society. Answer as you interpret it.
Do you think the world in general has went downhill since older times?
I believe so, however I have not been around to view the said changes. Personally I think todays dependence on technology is disgusting, I hate the fact that I feel lost without a computer, or that no one writes a letter anymore. Everyone has become a lot more self obsessed over the past few decades. There is no longer a help the community sort of feel, it's every man for himself and no one could care less if joe blow across the street is suffering.
I don't think that todays society really has a purpose, we're not fighting forwomen's rights, combating racism, or trying to stop the war..We're just going through the motions of everyday life for no reason what so ever.
Makes me think of the song %26quot;I wish i were a punk rocker%26quot;.
'Not everybody drove a car,
When music really mattered and when radio was king,
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything
When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs,
And playing games meant kick around
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair'
Do you think the world in general has went downhill since older times?
Not a bit.
You're not actually serious, are you?
EDIT: More tolerance towards minority groups, a much higher life-expectancy, better health care, underprivileged groups (the poor, the old, etc) are cared for a lot better than previously.
If by %26quot;older times%26quot; you mean a century or more ago, than you really, really, really can not be serious. People nowadays are not nearly as violent, oppressed by stronger groups or oppressive towards weaker groups as they were a century or more ago.
I'll just assume that you made this as a joke.
Not at all
As a youth we seemed to have respect for other ppl that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I'm a school bus driver and also use to ride as a child.
Do I think the world has GONE downhill? Yes, especially because nobody knows how to use proper grammar anymore.
Technology has become better but people are less social to their neighbours these days as they have cellphones and the internet.
So in some ways things are better but in other ways they are not.
Myself I would prefer to live in the older times but if I could go back then I would like to take the medical know-how and technology back with me in case I got sick or needed to be treated for an ailment or something.
Hell nooo. I wouldn't wanna be a susie home-maker, pushing out babies and boosting my cheating husbands confidence constantly. How can you actually consider technology a burden, look at all the medical technology that saves lives EVERYDAY! Life is better, easy as that.

What were the changes in japan after the second world war?
They didn't kill as many people.
What were the changes in japan after the second world war?
they became more democratic, they became a economic superpower cause they adapted western technology to their society.
Despite becoming more westernized they mostly kept their cultural values.
I mean I love Japanese things(anime, manga, the language, martial arts...)

i would pick any engineering field as guaranteed to still be in demand.
my second choice would be physics.
i would only do a biz degree if you were doing a double major, because it seems like lots and lots of people thinkg a biz degree is the way to big money. I think the field will be overcrowded.
Going into university, I would like to know what career fields have most potencial in the next 5 to 10 years?
if you want to be self-employed, take buisness classes. buisness is the most versatile. but honestly, do something you have a passion for. something you want to learn about. college is not solely to land a job. it is to gain knowledge. the job is what you must apply that knowledge to.
Whatever it is you are passionate about, if you want a fulfilling life. If you want to be rich, anything regarding finance. If you want it all, think about the travel industry. When the majority of baby boomers retire in the next 5 - 10 years there will be a lot of people with time and money. Think about it, if you had time and money what would you do more of???
In the United States, the top ten jobs for college graduates, in terms of growth are:
1. Network systems and data communications analysts
2. Physician assistants
3. Computer software engineers, applications
4. Physical therapist assistants
5. Dental hygienists
6. Computer software engineers, systems software
7. Network and computer systems administrators
8. Database administrators
9. Physical therapists
10. Forensic science technicians
This is per 2014 forecasts of United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
If you want to be self employed, skip school. No really. University costs too much and as a self employed person, you won't see any return from having a degree. You can teach yourself the basics of running a business by reading free information online and book in the library. More confusing is what kind of business should I start, but that's an entire new question.
More importantly, try to be happy. Follow your inner-voice into whatever may interest you the most.new hair styles i near a way to run mac within window
