1. Quad copter drones with cameras are a good example of culture lag because there are not many ways of dealing with them when people use them unethically. One can always just shoot down a drone that is invading his or her privacy but will get arrested for criminal mischief and wonton endangerment. At least Dutch police are starting to train eagles to snatch these drones right out of the air. 2. Human radio frequency identification ship implants could be another example of culture lag. This chip can cause a rift between people who do have it implanted and those who do not. There are quite a few negative connotations that follow the RFID chip in areas such as religion, government, and socially. There are many conspiracy websites out there
In the article ‘’Confessions of a Drone Warrior’’, published in the GQ in October 22, 2013, by Matthew Power, the author talks about a drone pilot’s experience after working with military drones for 6 years. In this article, the main point the author is trying to prove is that flying military drones is not some kind of video game, it’s as real as it gets, even though the pilot doesn’t actually take part in combat. It can change people. During his service, the Airman First Class Brandon Bryant killed 1626 people. It’s terrifying, considering that the pilot had to watch every person die. His job was to monitor people(normally high-value targets in Afghanistan) from the sky and when he got the command to kill from the authorities, he fired a missile
“Government’s targeted killing of three U.S. citizens in two drone strikes, both in Yemen, far from any armed conflict zone.” (“Targeted Killings”). Drones or unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is the technology that has taken war and fighting to a brand new level. The technology is believed to lower the use of troops and life loss in the wars that are happening today. Can that same technology be considered dangerous? Or are the side effects something that can simply be considered a small cost for something better? Drones demonstrate a growth in technological advances , and also the world. Although as brilliant this technology might be, it brings a threat to the people.

“Hell-raiser, razor-feathered risers, windhover over Peshawar,”(Majmudar Lines 1-3) That was the first stanza of the poem “Ode to a Drone” by Amit Majmudar. This poem is written by a Muslim American who grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. The first stanza is the beginning to an ode to a drone, but immediately, you know he is not praising the drone for being powerful, he is explaining how it is unnecessarily destructive. A drone is an unmanned flying vehicle that shoots missiles or drops bombs on targets in modern warfare. Modern warfare today is taking place in the Middle East which is a transcontinental region centered on Western Asia and Egypt. Many terrorist groups such as ISIS, which is the largest threat right now.

It can be asserted that with current technology and supervision drones lack the stability required to be successful and safe and in actuality are counter-effective because these drones create an unsupervised means of power that could quickly spiral out of control. The drone program fails to decrease the death count of war, increase the intelligence needed to dismantle terrorist cells and be secure against hackers. As a result, drones are counterproductive, and in truth create a newfound terrorism. At the end of the day, the only means to eradicate the enemy is to make them a friend.

Culture defines people’s values, beliefs, and personal interests. Culture is important because it allows people to maintain a unique identity society. Many cultures have common interests, while others may have customs that differ greatly from that of another. Technology has had a huge impact on present day cultures. Many culture have been altered including my own, and some have been created due to the rise of technology. Cultures differ so greatly that someone belonging to one culture may not agree with the values of another, which then causes social and ethical issues. My culture shares many similarities with others around the world; most of which have connected more people in recent years than ever before. Cultural gaps, and lack of understanding for peoples’ values and beliefs are significant reasons why cultures fail to understand one another.
The main case is of a British specialist in a scholarly establishment who has led a few insert analyses; the second case, is of a specialist and business person who has concentrated on the utilization of RFID inserts for individual space applications; and the third is a family who picked to get RFID inserts from a business association. The aftereffects of the cases are ordered and introduced inside a genuine connection situation. Other than the security and security topics that are regularly talked about in chip insert studies, different issues secured by this situation incorporate that of value and morals. For example, will chip insert innovation cause a division in upper and lower social classes? Also, the moral inquiry of who chooses who gets chipped? It was observed that an implanter’s
“Please?! Tyrone?! What’s the point of having your own personal helicopter if you’re not going to fly it?” Montee pleaded, ignoring Tyrone’s previous statement that his helicopter was only for him and his wife Bella to ride in.

Max and I have been assigned to do a flight school project. Max wanted a plane that can go very far. I wanted a plane that can fly for a long time so I made a basic paper airplane. The first test was great. Max’s airplane went 108 ft but, his plane had 4 bobby pins on the tip of his plane. My plane didn’t go very far but it flew for 9.75 seconds which was pretty amazing but it wouldn’t have went that well if it weren’t for the wind. I didn’t write it on the data because Max’s plane had attachments and I used the wind to make my plane fly for a long time.
Living in the digital age where we enjoy the various fruits of latest technological tools and advancements, then at the same time we cannot escape from their hidden or apparent harms. Also, it is a fact that some gadgets supported by these technological advancements are much capable to bring destruction and disaster then construction and convenience. The same goes for the Drone Technology which since past 200 years is being used to create turbulence at the global level. It has proved to be a powerful investigator and bomber at the same time. Drones are specifically associated with military actions and the countries having used them for surveillance purposes include UK, USA, Italy, Japan, Austria, Australia etc. The list of victim counties or nations is much bigger in contrast. Some prominent victims of Drone Air Strikes include Congo, Venice, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. However, it is also an undeniable fact that the massive production and usage of Drones got multiplied in the 21st century.
Culture and technology are in a constantly expanding positive feedback loop. The greatest changes in human culture are almost always the result of a technological innovation. However, a technology capable of a cultural shift can only have come from the culture itself. Without the culture's choice to refine the technology, the practical applications would have been left as only fleeting ideas; technology will only be developed if the culture has some immediate and apparent use for it. Although a culture will develop a technology based on its inherent valence towards a particular application, that culture cannot possibly fathom the ultimate repercussions of its collective decision. The inherent multiplier effect in the feedback loop along with unforeseen applications of the technology will guide the "trajectories of cultural evolution" (Ehrlich 255) in completely unexpected ways. Even though cultures can and do have an effect on their course through history, it is only slight when compared to the monstrous effect that their technologies have on them.
Culture has been a part of our society, and way of life, forever. It is almost impossible to come up with an idea that isn’t influenced by culture. As new technology is introduced into a society, the culture reacts in a positive or negative way and is thus changed forever. Despite the fact that we cannot really ignore that there are a number of ways in which technology negatively impacts our society, for the better part it has greatly helped to make lives better. It has also helped us a great deal to be able to save on many resources such as time and money and these are great benefits that cannot be ignored. It has also worked well in bringing unity into the world by turning it into a global village which has in turn helped people to more easily overcome their cultural, racial and continental barriers. Like we saw in the case of Ireland where technological advancements have shaped and molded the country into a completely new one that is better than the one it was before. Technology is made and used in such a variety of ways because many people who use the technology of today come from all walks of life and have different necessities, so to compensate for that technology must adapt to all different cultures. Consequently, as cultures change so does the technology they develop. Ultimately, advances in technology directly affect how cultures evolve, complex interactions are all the result of the dynamic and perpetual relationship between technology and
