The Impact of Technology: Society3 minute video clip very small
Listen for the benefits and negatives of technology at work.
Positive Effects of Workplace TechWhat do you think?
Increased productivityJobs are less labor intensiveMore flexibility in how and where you do your jobNegative Effects of Workplace TechWhat do you think?
-People work longer hours, in part because the work is more portable-Employees are expected to be tech savvy and keep up-Dependent on the technology it will fail
We have become victims of multi-tasking madness - the ability to juggle multiple thoughts, tasks and jobs. We place ourselves at risk by trying to drive while talking on our cell phones. We become captives of technology, waiting for data to download or transfer, micro-wave popcorn to pop, VCRs to rewind or waiting in line at drive-through restaurants while we fidget with our personal digital assistants.
Objective:Analyze several trends that will impact upon the use of technology in the home and family.
AN AWARENESS OF TRENDS CAN HELP YOU BETTER PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE.SOME CHANGES FOLLOW A PATTERN OVER TIME.TREND = A GENERAL DIRECTION OF CHANGE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME
WHAT WILL LIFE BE LIKE IN THE FUTURE?HOW DO WE PREDICT?Objective: The student will analyze several trends that will impact upon the use of technology in the home and family.
STYLES AND CHOICES HAVE CHANGED, BUT THE BASIC NEEDS OF FAMILIES ARE NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THEY WERE YEARS AGO.What was life like in the 1700S in American- FARM LIFE WAS COMMON- HARD, PHYSICAL LABOR- LARGE FAMILIES - EVERYONE PITCHED IN TO HELP IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR FAMILY NEEDS.
THE BASIC NEEDS OF FAMILIES ARE NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THEY WERE YEARS AGO.TODAYS FAMILIES ALSO SEEK TO PROVIDE FOR THE BASIC NEEDS IN SPITE OF RAPID CHANGE.What are the BASIC NEEDS of the family?Will this continue into the future?
AN AWARENESS OF TRENDS CAN HELP YOU BETTER PREPARE FOR THE FUTUREONE TYPE OF TREND INVOLVES THE CHANGES IN FAMILY PATTERNS.THIS CAN BE THE RESULT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY OR ITS USE, ORTHIS CAN CAUSE A RIPPLE EFFECT IN SOCIETY.

They will expect job flexibility with systems such as telecommuting.
TRENDS:THE AGING POPULATIONFor Americans born in 1900, the average life expectancy was just below 50 years. For Americans born in 1998 the average life expectancy is 77 years.

TREND:BOOMERANG CHILDRENEven though young adults today may prefer to live independently, they may not be able to afford to do so. Many entry level jobs today offer low wages yet housing costs have soared, which has put independent living out of reach for many young adults.(www.prb.org)
TREND: BOOMERANG CHILDRENNot only are they leaving home later, they are also more likely to return home - back into the role of a dependent. Currently 40% of young adults BOOMERANG.
TREND:COCOONINGLack of human interaction due to spending large amounts of time within your home via computer, TV and or the phone leads to a decline of social skills.
TREND:TELECOMMUNICATINGCommunication between home and work and school has opened up a world of working from another location.
TRENDS:THE CHANGING WORKPLACEYOU MAY SEE CERTAIN JOBS DISAPPEAR IN YOUR LIFETIME DUE TO CHANGES IN SOCIETY.Disappearing jobs bank tellers, typists, telephone operators, dishwashersYOU MAY NEED TO RETOOL FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT JOBS IN YOUR LIFETIME.SERVICE INDUSTRIES ARE GROWING.

TREND:DUAL - INCOME FAMILIESTHIS TREND CREATES A BIGGER DEMAND FOR SERVICES SUCH AS CHILD CARE AND FOOD PREPARATION.
TREND:A GLOBAL WORKPLACEImproved communication and transportation have linked the far ends of the earth. Goods are sold in countries other than where they originate. People from foreign soil move to own businesses and to work.
TREND:LIFELONG EDUCATIONPeople of all ages are seeking education - some online.Many people will need retraining if their jobs are eliminated.Returning to school can put pressures on the daily lifestyle, but the benefits are usually worth it.
TREND:AUTOMATED HOUSESSmart House technology in whole or in part is a trend of the future.
"The warming trend in global-mean surface temperature observations during the past 20 years is undoubtedly real and is substantially greater than the average rate of warming during the twentieth century.
The most important action we can take to slow global warming is:Reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions can be done by: Increasing energy efficiency standards Encouraging the use of renewable energy sources (such as wind and solar power) Protecting and restoring forests, which serve as important storehouses of carbon

We know youve heard a lot of things over the years. Some people are still trying to overcomplicate home automation with buzzwords and vaporware. We think its simple: coordinating security, temperature and lighting for comfort, convenience and safety. Yes you can connect it to the web and touch screens and very expensive other stuff if you want but you have to start with the basics, and thats why were here. HAI is good with the grunt work of security, lighting and temperature control.
