Today’s commercial and communication technology is far reaching. The world has become much smaller as technologies grow and allow people to communicate with others anywhere in the world.
Commercial usually means profit. And for a business to profit it has to provide something the public wants. Technology today is in high demand and people want more and they want it as fast as possible. Instant gratification sells well.
Commercial communications are in extreme demand and these applications range from phones to instant messengers. Smart phones rule the industry now with more being introduced every day. It won’t be long before a smart phone is all that is offered; regular phones that simply make phone calls and nothing more will be obsolete. These phones put communication at your fingertips; you can call text and/or video chat on them. Send and receive files in a split second. The world in an instant!
The technologies that make all this possible are the internet and cell towers that carry signals back and forth. The physical cell phone must have software that allows users to connect and so this is a part of the technology as well. The newest on the market at the moment are the Android OS phones. These phones give the iphone a run for its money, as they add new capabilities in a smoother operating system. Individual persons can profit off these phones by making ‘apps’ that customers buy to install on their phones. Profitability is high in this market. As more is demanded, more and newer technology is needed so there seems to be no end in sight in this area.

As the organization Aiim states in a recent article. “…we know more about what our high school girlfriend had for dinner than what is going on within our organization?" The bottom line: "How can it be that I am so powerful as a consumer and so LAME as an employee?"” This is the impact social media has had on the world. Personal and business blended. The future is some sort of meld of the two worlds. Employers will be using social networking to engage employees and to keep them up to date. The future is right now; what once was science fiction is now reality and the future beyond this is above our wildest expectations.

high demands for such communications technologies. The concept for cellular technology was often thought to be limited to science fiction or futuristic communities. Well the future is now, and computerized technology with the help of transmitters and satellites brings nearly unlimited contact to anyone in the world. The transition of the cell phone from thought to reality was made possible by military technologies and a stress towards communications advancement. Cellular technology evolved from its early
phones and driving is emerging: •Studies, such as the one we publish herein, confirm and refine the observation that distracted driving is a major cause of accidents.4 •Around the world, new communication technology is ever more ubiquitous.5, 6 •Large commercial interests promote these communication technologies. It has always been a problem to keep powerful vehicles fully under control. To do so, society has built safer vehicles and designed safer roads. We have written laws to deter dangerous driving

Radio: Making Waves in America Radio-wave technology is one of the most important technologies used by man. It has forever changed the United States and the world, and will continue to do so in the future. Radio has been a communications medium, a recreational device, and many other things to us. When British physicist James Clerk Maxwell published his theory of electromagnetic waves in 1873, he probably never could have envisioned the sorts of things that would come of such a principle. His theory

created the packet-switching technologies that form the basis of the Internet today. "The Internet refers to the global information system that is logically linked together by a globally unique address space based on the Internet Protocol (IP); is able to support communications using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite; provides, uses, or makes accessible, either publicly or privately, high level services layered on the communications and related infrastructure described
and Copyright Fair Use Abstract: Video is one of the most compelling forms of communication of this time. Over the course of the past few years, the gradual but sure drift from analog to digital in video technology has not only improved the abilities of visual communication media to distribute data, but has also improved their abilities to manipulate the data that they distribute. Digital video technology has advanced to the extent that still image manipulation has been usurped by more powerful
Convergence in Technology The concept of a “global village” or a united community around the world has only in these last few years become a concept widely thought of. However, it seems that the idea of a large-scale sharing of information has long been developing, whether intended or not. The tools of communication have long served a single purpose, that of transmitting information from people to people. Direct communication was long ago realised with sign language and speech, but when people
Internet are different, their evolution are most definitely parallel. This section will discuss some of the history. Prior to the 1960s, what little computer communication existed comprised simple text and binary data, carried by the most common telecommunications network technology of the day; namely, circuit switching, the technology of the telephone networks for nearly a hundred years. Because most data traffic transmissions occur during a very short period of time, circuit switching results

Introduction In today’s wireless communications the technology has come a long way since its beginnings back in the early nineteen hundreds and has become so advance that most countries have their own regulator. In the UK the regulator for wireless standards is called Ofcom which has been established since 2003. In the US the regulator is Federal Communications Commission and has been established since 1934. These regulators govern what frequency band companies can purchase to provide a wireless
greater potential for interactive communication between information senders and receivers than the more traditional methods of communication such as newspaper, radio and television. Freedom of speech ascertained by the constitution is not an absolute right. Depending on the medium through which information is delivered various degrees of the freedom to express one's self is protected. Internet communication may be analogous to either a specific existing communication medium or even several. Current
