Abstract
Teenagers, or millenials as they are often referred to, are one of the largest markets to which cellular technology corporations market and sell their products. These products include pagers, handheld text messengers and the cellular phone. The paper shows that while many teens themselves view these gadgets as handy devices with which to keep in constant touch with the world, research shows that many negative issues are associated with irresponsible teenage use of these products. Academics, basic communication skills, credit, responsibility issues and even safety are all being affected by the rising trend in teenage ownership of cellular products. The paper argues that teens themselves do not even seem to really understand the problems and dangers and are oblivious to the true impact cellular technology has on their daily lives.
From the Paper
"In a time where ?the towering infrastructure of modern media?the antennas, satellite dishes, cells, and such?spire towards the heavens? in rapid succession, one should take a look at how this evolving technology is affecting some of the nation?s youngest consumers: teenagers (Smith & Clurman, 1997, p. 163). Often referred to by many names (Generation Y, Generation Next, and Generation XX), these ?millenials, born in or after 1982,? are quickly becoming the most enthusiastic marketing target of cellular technology manufacturers everywhere, and for good reason (Howe & Strauss, 2000, p. 4). Author and social critic Lucy Rollin makes this point very clear in her 1999 novel about teen culture: Keeping in touch with friends and family has become easier. Portable phones have become practically standard issue for teens everywhere that are going off to college or on a car trip, and teens use them in the malls, at concerts, and on the streets as well as in the car?pagers?as well (p. 318). According to surveys by Wireless World Forum, teen ownership of mobile phones in particular has risen five times from 15% in 1998 to over 75% in 2000 and beyond, suggesting a steady progression of the importance and impact of cellular technology (mobile phones, pagers, and text messengers) in and on the average teenager?s fast-paced life."

Abstract
This paper explains that conspicuous consumption is often thought of as unnecessary spending or the purchasing of products that are not necessities. Increases in upward mobility have increased conspicuous consumption patterns in nations around the world. The author points out that the impact of a rapidly growing economy and of increased education in Taiwan have had an impact on the conspicuous consumption of Generation Y. These individuals are college-educated with significant incomes and have money to spend. The paper concludes that there is a thin line between luxury and necessity; one generation's luxury becomes their successors' necessity. Luxury is often associated with a quality buy.

"The survey also found that some of the respondents had regrets about making expensive purchases. The phenomenon of regret was most evident in younger respondents who often regretted such purchases because they were too expensive, or the styles were outdated. The survey found that older respondents that were more financially stable rarely had regrets about the purchases they made. To combat the regret that younger consumers have companies should create a line of products that are less expensive but still have the high quality of other clothing by the designer. The less expensive line will allow younger consumers to purchase products without regret."

Abstract
This paper explains that the opinions of the Generation Y are important and can be expressed by voting. The paper then points out that voting is a right that not everybody always was allowed to possess; therefore, voting should be taken seriously and not for granted. The paper relates that the author of the paper registered to vote because he wants to help put the best President into office. The author underscores that someone who is indecisive, not well educated, and has never taken control of a political situation is not someone that he wants to have as his leader. The paper describes a very liberal website PunkVoter.com, which teaches "punk" fans about the policies of George Bush, Jr. The author stresses that votes by the Generation Y will play a huge factor in where this country will go in the future.

Abstract
All cell phone services promise better rates and better services to their customers but only technological advances can truly provide a longer lasting battery life for cell phone users. The paper shows that the overall goal of the cellular phone industry and its users is to improve the quality and length of service of cell phones, without requiring the phones to be charged as often as they must be at present, on as consistent a basis as before. Consumers want this to be accomplished at the lowest price possible and companies wish to provide a competitive price. The paper shows that the cellular phone battery market, given the changing nature of the technology and its relatively new status on the market represents a highly competitive and volatile industry. However, new advances in cell phone technology could give potential innovators a lock on the market. The paper examines two existing cellular phone batteries - Nickel Cadmium and Lithium Ion.
From the Paper
"Users of cellular phones are currently faced with a dilemma of quality versus expense. The solution for the industry would be to provide an inexpensive form of technology that allows users to top up on their charge as often as users want. However, at present this is easier envisioned than accomplished with current technology. In a November 2, 2002 article in the trade journal Battery News, Tyco Electronics Power Systems Inc., a supplier of telecommunications power equipment, and Valence Technology Inc., a developer and manufacturer of Saphion technology and Li-on polymer rechargeable batteries, are said to be collaborating ?to evaluate and develop Valence's Saphion Li-on technology? in the hopes of creating inexpensive Li-on batteries. A cellular battery that is inexpensive, does not suffer from voltage depression, and can be recharged on the convenience of the user, and poses no environmental hazards may be in the works. Should this be developed, the competition amongst cellular phone services would escalate, unless only one type of phone or service secures a patent over these potentially inexpensive Li-on batteries."

From the Paper
"Cellular telephones constitute a new and growing industry that has made advances in the United States and that is now seeking to expand through trade with other countries. Standard and Poor emphasize that this is necessary in the entire telecommunications industry:
The stagnant domestic market and widening overseas opportunities--a result of privatization of telephone companies and the opening up of Eastern Europe--have created a market where manufacturers need to have a truly global orientation in order to be successful..
From a financial standpoint, cellular technology has become more affordable to a wider range of people. New technology and the introduction of economies of scale have added to the downward..."

Nuclear Power Generation Technology, 2008.
An examination of the general population's attitudes toward nuclear power generation technology.
1,953 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 6 sources, MLA, £ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the impact on society of nuclear power generation technology. It describes the history of the global prominence that nuclear power has attained and the role it has played in the shifting of popular attitudes towards science and technology, in general. The paper shows how this technology - although critical to the production of energy in places such as Ontario - is also viewed with fear and scepticism by much of the population.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Popular Fears of Nuclear Power
The Post-Chernobyl Costs of Nuclear Power
The Future Role of Nuclear Power in Our Society
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Unless science and technology discover some previously unknown form of energy, it is clear that nuclear power technology - despite popular anxiety - is likely to expand its significance in our society in the future. There is simply no alternative energy supply to fossil fuels that can offer the large amounts of energy that nuclear power offers. Moreover, in a political environment where fossil fuels are also viewed with considerable negativity among the public for contributing to pollution and global warming, even the negative optics of nuclear power may be lessened in comparison. Thus, while it is admittedly impossible to make certain predictions about the future role of nuclear power in our society given the variables of public opinion as well as the political, economic and environmental issues to be considered, nevertheless I believe that in the immediate future humanity will be compelled to revisit the use of nuclear power to sustain itself."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, today, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a growing need for technological literacy, but it is unclear how technology education teachers are making decisions on classroom practice based on the "Standards for Technological Literacy", which focuses on what every student in grades K-12 should know and be able to do in order to be technologically literate. The author states that the study will address the issue of assessing standards-based training needs through a critical review of the scholarly literature followed by a survey of what 7th to 10th grade technology education teachers in Arizona know about the standards, how they are using them and what the need for standards-based training. The paper relates that a Likert-type scale will be used to determine the acceptance and use of the STL and to measure the perceived needs of standards-based training.

From the Paper
"To date, thousands of technology teachers, science and mathematics teachers, and other educators and experts from around the country have collaborated in an effort to identify precisely what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should be learning about technology. This group, together with content specialists and representatives from the National Research Council (NRC) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), reviewed Standards for Technological Literacy and recommended modifications and additions. The resulting document, supported by both NRC and NAE, defined the study of technology as a discipline and provided a framework for individual teachers, schools, school districts, and states or provinces to develop technological literacy in all students. The research to date indicates that when schools provide students with a quality education in their primary language they provide them with two things: knowledge and literacy."

Abstract
This paper explains that the literature review illustrates that the expectations of employees differ within the generations in today's workforce and unless managers have a sound knowledge-base of the needs and expectations of the organization's employees, keeping these employees motivated may prove to be difficult. The author relates that Donald Super's work values inventory (WVI) will be used to measure the work values of Gen X and the Millenniums based on 15 sub-scale work values. The paper includes detailed figures, tables, graphs and quotations to illustrate the many difference between these generations.

"The Millennial Generation is causing a stir all the way around as this generation is "difficult to reach and understand". Millennials have gained the attention of all sector of business. Gerarci specifically reports from a retail point of view. While Generation X was one of individuals were "individualistic, untrusting and pessimistic" and in all truth lived in a "parent-centric world" which meant that "marketing to children was really accomplished by marketing to their mom." This has changed with Millennials "born during the longest economic boom in history." This group has gained "tremendous economic power"."

Abstract
This paper explains that creative, innovative schools and educators are striving to incorporate technology, which will broaden the scope of their classroom with research and project-based learning; unfortunately, these innovative schools and educators are in the minority. The author points out that the research on whether or not technology can be used to increase student learning varies widely: Some research indicates that technology has little impact on achievement while other research indicates that technology is "the" answer. The paper relates that the conditions for the effective use of educational technology are access, functionality, technical development and professional development.
Table of Contents
Introduction
Types of Technology for Used Learning
Why Do Educators Resist Technology?
Can Technology Be Used To Impact Student Achievement?
Conditions for the Effective Use of Educational Technology
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are four ways to categorize technology and how it is used for instruction in the classroom. According to Means( 1994), the four uses for technology in education are: as a tutor, to explore, as applied tools, and to communicate. When technology teaches directly to the student with little help from the teacher it is being used as a tutor. When technology is used in this manner, the student is not free to explore, instead they are guided in a step by step-by-step manner by the technology. Drill and practice software, instructional television and computer assisted instruction are examples of technology as a tutor. Using technology as a tutor is especially effective for learning languages and for providing enrichment activities for students who need additional reinforcement of skills."

Generation Gaps in the Work Force, 2004.
An analysis of the influence of one's generation on the workforce.
4,551 words (approx. 18.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, £ 83.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores four generation groupings and their impact on the employment sector: Veterans, or Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and the newer generation, Generation Y, or Generation Next. Of all the conflicts between generations in the workplace, perhaps the most volatile and difficult to strategize upon is that between the Baby Boomers and Generation Y. The paper tries to understand why these two generations are butting heads in the workplace and looks at where each of these four generation groups stems from.
From the Paper
"Veterans, or Traditionalists, compromise the oldest bracket of the workforce. At an average of 52million of the population, Veterans are those born between 1922 and 1943, coming of age during and before the Great Depression. They have a work-ethic that makes them ?solid, no-nonsense performers with respect for authority and who are repositories of lore and wisdom? (Zemke, 2001). They have the experience of the job and tend to ?be more concerned with the ?big picture? issues? (ISR, 2003). While younger generations may condone their stringent work ethic and ?bullish? attitude towards changes in society, ?This generation rebuilt America by partnering with institutions. In so doing, this generation fueled the economic boom? (Lancaster, 2002). Fifty percent of the male ratio of this generation group were war veterans."
