Communication Technology

Introduction

     Thanks to the technology which really has enhanced the methods of communication technology. Communication became easier, faster, flexible and even much cheaper. These days most people have modern means of communication in their pockets. We see a giant leap in the field of modern communication technology and even touch this huge progress with our hands, resulting significant saving time and effort through this modern means of communication.

The Effects of communication technology

            The past five years recorded a rise of civilization in the field of modern communication technology. This fantastic technology was behind the strong competition from manufacturers of these devices. These devices have become essential requirements in many key areas of education, engineering, medicine, security, news and many more working fields. If we focus on the education field, the evolution of communication served this area a great service in saving time and effort of both teachers and students. Life share is a great program which enables students and teachers as well to share information, projects and assignments all over the world with one push of a button. This was very hard in the past five years. Life share is just one example of communication between students and teachers worldwide. There are other communication methods that invaded the world such as Facebook and Twitter. In news, Facebook and Twitter has been largely used in covering breaking news which made a huge change in saving time and effort. Breaking news these days simply pops-up in most smart phones. You may not limit the benefits of the advanced communication technology to medical fields. These days, doctors were able to perform surgery from thousands of miles by physicians’ robots. The most advanced high speed communication technology opened a window of hope worldwide in saving a lot of emergency cases by the physicians’ robots. This communication technology breakthrough made a big change in managing time and minimizing effort. Security is still in constant updating with the communication technology. House security cameras are able to communicate with smart phone, which enable people to monitor their house, office stores and many more areas from anywhere even from outside their country. Massive time and effort is controlled with the help of communication technology. Fiber optic network technology is the latest communication technology which helped us change the way we communicate. Most rich countries went to the use of fiber optic, because of its ability in transferring a huge amount of information in even shorter time than old type network cables. For example, during the past five years the UAE has almost completed the plan of its communication cables to fiber optic cables. Entire budget of this project was huge, but results were satisfactory.

            I think the two important changes in communication technology over the past five years were in saving time and saving effort. I’ve mentioned above the effect of communication technology on how it saves time and effort, which everybody agrees with.

Negatives of communication technology

             Some people think that communication technology has impacted negatively on the internal social cooperation. Generations of parents and grandparents refused to accept this fast technology development. The fast growth of communication technology has a weakening effect on the old social relations. People’s visits have decreased over the past five years, because of this super fast communication technology. Some people are right to say that communication technology affected the credibility of the news, by the fast spread of rumors. I think this issue can be controlled easily these days by searching and checking worldwide with less time and effort. Chances of plagiarism may increase with the easy ways of getting the information, but I think also this side can be easily controlled with special website machines. In my opinion these are the only points that some people say would prevent the growth of communication technology.

           

Conclusion

            In conclusion, I can say that the two most important changes in communication technology are saving time and effort which everybody needs, only if we use it right and the way it was designed to be.

Single global currency

            In this report I will write about the advantages and disadvantages, of connecting the global with a single currency; this report will analyze the important information.

            Starting with the advantages of a single global currency; this action would save a lot of time and effort for businessmen and travelers. It will also help us to save money. We are losing some money through money exchanges when traveling, but this action should solve the issue. For example, we had to take our father to Thailand, due to his brain stroke, for treatment. That medical treatment took from my father 4 months to be able to walk again. That period of time cost us Dh. 300,000 including currency exchange, For every Dh 10,000 the money exchange used to take Dh 1,500 and if we take that from the total amount which is Dh 300,000 it will be 45,000 which is a lot.

            Turning to the disadvantages, I think that the only big looser is the money exchange companies. I think countries will never lose from the single global currency in trading, because they can increase the cargo fees which will cover their losses. But this action is impossible, because of the differences in global currency between the US dollar, the Euro and the British pound. They will never accept this action at all. It’s not for their benefit.

            In conclusion, having a single global currency is good for trading and traveling only.

Visitors to Australia overseas residents

                These two line graphs and table information show the number of annual visits to Australia by overseas residents and the country of origin where the visitors came from. In this report I will analyze the important trends.

            Starting with the line graph, the number of visits to Australia by overseas residents dramatically increased during the period 1975-2005. In 1975 10 million visitors visited Australia, 1.5 million in 1985, 24 million in 1995 and 32 million in 2005.

            Turning to the table information, it shows that in 1975 the Japanese were the most visitors to Australia which was 3.2 million and Chinese were the fewest visitors. Korean were the second then European then British then American. The same order was in 2005 but with more visitors from each region, 12 million from Japan, 9.1 from South Korea, 4.5 million European, 2.9 British and 1.1 & 0.8 million from the USA & China.

            In conclusion, we can see that the visits to Australia by overseas residents dramatically increased during the period 1975 to 2005 and the Japanese were the most visitors and I think the reason behind that is the relative distance.
