intersection between technology and performance, focusing on the use of sonification technology within a musical space. The technology in question realizes a unique objective: essentially turning neutral bio-signals into musical material that can be incorporated into a composition or performance. This process, the sonification of bio-signals, has a history in music that began in the 1970’s with the premiere of Alvin Lucier’s Music for Solo Performer. By examining both historical examples and…
CHAPTER - III NCW AND MODERN MILITARIES 1. The revolution in technology has been the prime mover for NCW and hence the military’s harnessing the evolving technologies are at the fore front of NCW transformation.

As seen in the short story “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, and in our ever-changing modern world, technology allows users to become reliant often rendering them helpless without it. Technology can also impede us from developing personal relationships by isolating us from human contact and by substituting real emotion for virtual interpretations. In the Veldt, the Happylife Home provided everything from baths to breakfast for the children, which turned them into spoiled children, unable to function…
interesting implications of this fact. Harold Innis, the father of modern communication studies, repeatedly spoke of the “knowledge monopolies” created by important technologies. He meant precisely what Thamus had in mind: those who have control over the workings of a particular technology accumulate power and inevitably form a kind of conspiracy against those who have no access to the specialized knowledge made available by the technology“…
PLEASE NOTE: We are referring to technology in a less-general way (or in a modern sense). So when we say we are staying away from technology, we mean: computers phones, music players, TVs, smart watches, etc. NOT: Vehicles(cars, buses etc.), microwaves, lamps, toilets, clocks, etc. TL;DR: When we say technology we mean any digital/modern electronic device. Introduction: Introduction and Background to the Research The topic our group chose was the influence of technology among youth,…
everything is here one minute and gone the next, and there is no way to share it. Imagine what life was like without advanced technology, and how our ancestors survived it. Compared to back then, our technology has improved on a very large scale. During the 1900's, people had very different lifestyles compared to ours today. Because of their lack of technology, they communicated more on a face-to-face basis. Also, had they have wanted to research something, they would have to go out…
Some argue that people in the modern world are in possession of much more knowledge than people of ancient cultures. Others believe that this ignores the accomplishments of the past and places too much emphasis on present achievements. While it is undoubtedly true that modern technologies, such as the internet could not have been imagined in ancient cultures, it is a mistake to view these ancient cultures as ignorant. Few would argue that the builders of the Sphinx were mere primitive cavemen,…
about. From the improvement of technology to World Wars, to even the change of people as well. While some people love to be traditional, others like to be more modern.

Technologies, as the main factors in modern society, have been applied in various fields. They can be applied to assist in people’s work and provide convenience for them. People invented a series of new technologies in order to help them to save their time. However, whether those technologies are ethical has become the heated discussion in recent years. Some people hold the opinion that if the technologies provide people with convenience, they are ethical. While others believe that some of the…
a development of English language with changes in technology and the trend is likely to continue in future. The evolution of English language started from the period where different types of pronunciation developed. Significant changes began during the industrial revolution, but critical alterations in the English language has mainly emanated from the use of computers and internet. This research suggests that the long-term effects of technology on the English lexicon is beneficial since it has…
