|
Enhances
Created global connection, unlimited resources, and information.
Releasing the written word from its previous technologies (handwriting and
typewriter) to unlimited and unimaginable capabilities such as, text and
images.
|
Obsolete
The Computer has evolved in
size (from tubes to tablets) and capabilities (mobile devices), but does not
have a rival technology on the horizon to replace it. The move in computer
technology is on lesser dependence on the keyboard, which could potentially
render this category obsolete (CBT, 2012).
|
|
Retrieves
The Computer has still retains its keyboard from its predecessor
the typewriter, with varies modifications in size and style.
|
Reverse
The computer shows no signs of obsolesces. This is mainly
because Computer scientist and Engineers are moving at a faster pace of
inventing computers that are digitalized and linearized; however, our society
is still embracing analog and nonlinear devices. Therefore, innovations will
take time to be fully integrated into society.

Reflection
I remembered when my mother purchased an automatic typewriter
for the house. She was extremely proud of
her for the purchase of a new typewriter.
Mom showed me her first typewriter which was a manual typewriter. And, she explained to me why the new
typewriter was better than the manual typewriter. I, on the other hand, did not like the new typewriter. To me, it appeared time consuming and
difficult to operate. Thus, I was more
than happy when the computer was invented.

What
does this technology do that is new?
From the typewriter to the computer, the improvement of
speed and access to the internet is outstanding. The innovative computer allows individuals to
process larger amounts of information within the same timeframe. Corrections of documents are easier. The computer allows individuals to multi-task
while located in one position.
What
does this technology replace?
The computer replaces the typewriter. The computer is able to rekindle the radio as
well as the tape recorder.
What
does this technology bring to mind (or retrieve) from the past?
The typewriter brings
to mind how individual wrote all their documents by hand. The computer brings to mind individuals with
pencils behind their ears in a larger office all typewriting numerous documents.
What
might replace this technology in the future, or what might it cause to occur?
The technology that will replace the current computer is
a voice computer. This computer turns on
and off along with completing every task by an individual’s voice.
