    for different things. Convergence can be defined as the occurrence of two or more things coming together. On the other hand, divergence is the tendency to move apart or evolve in different directions. In the instance of modern-technologies and their use in the information age, convergence and divergence play a large role in how new products are manufactured and marketed. There are many examples throughout history demonstrating the evolution of products in terms of convergence and divergence. Evolution

    of their culture if they instead opt to modernize and embrace information technologies? Or, will such a convergence of similar technologies gradually force more similarities between societies, potentially resulting in a loss of cultural distinctiveness?

He states that, “Although the world’s nations have different histories and cultural orientations

    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

    have a surplus or deficit of energy in parts of the heat budget. If you have a net radiation surplus warm air will rise, and a net radiation deficit will make the air cool an fall. Air gets heated at the equator because of the inter tropical convergence zone and rises to the poles. There the air is cooled and it floats back down to the equator where the process is repeated. Another major contributing factor to the circulation of the air is due to the subtropical highs. These highs like the ITCZ

(William F. Perrin, 2008). There is not enough data to determine with certainty the specific characteristics and traits of these species; as less than 20 specimens have been measured (Thomas A. Jefferson, 2015); however, from observation

    Douglas function F(K,AL) = Kα(AL)1-α, 0<α<1 Output will only change if the values of the inputs change. For instance, given a fixed level of capital and labour, output will only grow if there is technical progress, that is the value of technological change, A, changes. Because technology is introduced into the function as multiplying L, it is known as labour augmenting or Harrod neutral. This is distinct from capital augmenting: Y(t) = F[A(t)K(t),L(t)] and Hicks Neutral: AY(t) = F[K(t)

    Until recently, at least, it was possible to define photography as a process involving optics, light sensitive material and the chemical processing of this material to produce prints or slides. Today though, that definition is subject to change. Technological innovations…are shifting photography from its original chemical basis towards electronics… It is not overstating it to say that the advent of this new technology is changing the very nature of photography, as we have known it.

Fogelman (U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff) states, “We are now impressed by the convergence of technological advances in computers, flight controls, lightweight materials, advanced electric motors, and communications packages that will make modern UAVs extremely effective.”4 UAVs are not only to be used for such questionable moral circumstances

  • Patters of Atmospheric Heating and Circulation

    583 Words  | 2 Pages

    The global pattern of atmospheric heating and circulation is the high precipitation in the tropics which is produced by high rates of evaporation and subsequent concentration of water vapor in ascending air masses. Energy from the sun heats up earth but unfortunately it doesn’t distribute it evenly across the surface of the earth. The tropics receive more heat radiation than they produce the arctic or the polar region produce more radiation than they receive. The clouds formed in this way produce
