Abstract
With the developments in technology, the connection between art and technology came faster than ever. This paper explores how the invention of photography affected the relationship between art and technology in the history of art. It includes genres like Impressionism, Modernism, and Dadaism, and also talks about very important figures of art history, such as Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas, and Paul Cezanne.
From the Paper
"The first major modern technological advance that began to change the face of art was photography. Photography was invented by the French painter Louis Daguerre in 1837 and was immediately met with opposition from many in the art world. Artists had long struggled trying to capture a realistic portrait of the world around them. Now with photography, science had succeeded marvelously. Thus, the photograph introduced an era of mechanical reproducibility which challenged the accepted paradigm of artistic genius: the concept of a work of art as a unique image created by hand by a trained artist. Photography slowly began taking the jobs earlier filled by artists. It proved to be a faster and less expensive way to accurately portray the world; therefore, photography was used to take pictures of buildings and portraits where earlier an artist would have been commissioned (Wolter-Abele, 1)."

From the Paper
"The social impact of the new art-technology relationship is quite simply due to knowledge being more plentiful than at any other time in recorded history. To further expand on that element it must be understood that the application of knowledge, as well as man?s integration with knowledge, has not at any time in history been so cohesive with each other. This is due to the global society now established in the world which is aided by the science of computing which brings all knowledge, all applications and all the minds of men together in one vast conglomerate freeway of information."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of kinetic art, motion in art, and its history. In addition, the author argues that the artists are responding to technology and continuing to evolve as they learn to use technology in their favor. The paper focuses on sculpture.
From the Paper
"While most of us love the look of a wind chime or the way a mobile twirls over the crib of a baby, we don?t understand that it is a form of artwork. When we think about art we usually think about paintings on canvas, a still photograph or other types of works. Rarely do we realize that anything that is created and has movement is also art, and it is called kinetic art. Kinetic art is not a new concept but it has enjoyed recent popularity as artists around the world are being put on display. Its history and its allure are no longer a mystery and we can enjoy the movement in the open today. Kinetic art can be defined by the term kinetic meaning related to or produced by motion."

Abstract
This paper explains that language arts can benefit from the use of technology when teachers incorporate it into their daily instruction for such uses as providing study guides, quizzing students, enhancing the subject, supporting individual students and involving parents with their children's learning. The author points out that the use of technology in the language arts department can be especially perilous or productive depending on the way it is used and the competence of the teacher using it because language arts is a more subjective academic subject than math or the sciences and is opened to more misinformation from the Internet. The paper concludes that the use of technology in teaching has been studied from many different angles in many different manners, but the focus has rarely been on the attitudes and beliefs held by English teachers in the use of technology in the classroom. The paper includes two illustrations.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Case History of Technology and Language Arts
The Impact of Technology on Education
Obstacles to Using Technology
Technology and Language Arts
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The meta-analysis also focuses on writing skills for students who do and do not use computers and word processors for their writing. It determined that students who learn to use word processing for their writing needs learn better writing skills than those who do not use word processing programs for their writing needs. In light of this, it is surprising to find so much resistance in the current educational field regarding the use of technology in teaching and specifically Language Arts."

Abstract
"Since the turn of the century artists have incorporated machine imagery into their art. But, whether they were frightened by the threat of a dehumanized, mechanized society or pleased by the hard lines of factories and machine-made objects, they only borrowed their images and their style for use in traditional art media
From the Paper
"Since the turn of the century artists have incorporated machine imagery into their art. But, whether they were frightened by the threat of a dehumanized, mechanized society or pleased by the hard lines of factories and machine-made objects, they only borrowed their images and their style for use in traditional art media. In the 1960s, however, artists began to expand the boundaries of their media with the incorporation of machines and technological processes into their art.
From radio broadcasts and videotape to functioning mechanical objects and digital computer imagery, the last three decades have seen the increasing use of various technologies to make art. Instead of visual or thematic inspiration for painters or sculptors technology today is used as a part of art, in the service of art, and as forms of art. But these are arts in their infancy and for ..."

Abstract
This essay investigates whether the natural materials and technology available influenced the development of Egyptian art. The essay argues that the wealth of natural materials Egypt had in its possession provided the Egyptians with access to a range of mediums with which they could develop art. An argument is put forward that the technology and techniques used by the Egyptians greatly influenced and contributed to the development of Egyptian art. This essay begins by looking at the earliest materials and technologies that were used during the prehistoric period followed by an examination of how these materials and techniques developed over time. Evidence is provided throughout the essay to support these arguments.
From the Paper
"Pottery was also one of the earliest forms of artwork in Egypt dating back to the Prehistoric Neolithic and Predynastic Periods. In 1985 Sir Flinders Petrie discovered a variety of Predynastic pottery vessels ranging from Badarian handmade vessels to decorated pottery from the Naqada Period that showed evidence of ?exquisite craftsmanship? (Romer 1982:38). The natural materials that allowed for the creation of such pottery included Nile river silt clay, limestone and clayey shale from the cliffs (Romer 1982:45). The early technology used to produce pottery included polishing the pottery with a pebble to give a burnished red or black appearance before being fired in a kiln (Shaw & Nicholson 1995:226). Other
decorative characteristics included rippled lines that were produced by running another natural material, fish bones over the wet clay (Hart 1995:30)). Improvements in ceramic technology and the introduction of the potter?s wheel allowed an increase in the range of shapes that could be produced (Quirke & Spencer 1992:178). However J. Romer (1982:70) states that the use of the potter?s wheel led to a decline in the quality of Egyptian pottery. He argues that the potter?s wheel, although allowing larger vessels to be made quickly and easily from clay, ultimately led to pottery becoming more utilitarian and of less artistic quality. Therefore although the standard of art declined, this is still evidence of how the technology available influenced the development of Egyptian art."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that assisted reproductive technology (A.R.T.) has received a great deal of attention in recent years. The writer explains that couples who have difficulty having children are now seeking out assisted reproductive technology to conceive children. The writer examines the developments and advancements in assisted reproductive technologies. The technologies examined include: Zygote intra fallopian transfer, donor egg or embryo, surrogacy/gestational carrier, in vitro fertilization (IVF), intra cytoplasmic sperm injection and gamete intra fallopian transfer (GIFT). The writer concludes that the research indicates that there are many alternatives available to infertile couples and that IVF and GIFT remain among the most popular and successful types of reproductive technologies.
Outline:
Introduction
Zygote Intra fallopian Transfer
Donor Egg or Embryo
Surrogacy/Gestational Carrier
In Vitro Fertilization
Intra cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Gamete Intra fallopian Transfer
Future Technologies and Conclusions
From the Paper
"In addition to egg donation, embryos can also be donated. In most cases embryos are donated by couples that have undergone IVF and still have some additional frozen embryos; couples can choose to donate these embryos, have them used for medical research or have them destroyed. When the embryos are donated they are given to couples that have problems creating their own embryos."
"The author also points out that as it relates to having to use donor eggs, there are certain emotions that a woman may experience. The author asserts that these emotions are similar to the emotions that a man may experience when he discovers he is sterile. Relying on a donor egg or embryo also means that the woman will have no genetic link to the child."

Abstract
The paper discusses how a degree of technological advancement is essential to continually improving the standard of care provided to patients, yet, there is also the question of the neutrality of technology in the art of health care. The paper asserts that the art of health care involves people, not technology and this aspect cannot be compromised. The paper contends that the human touch can have as much impact as the monitoring equipment used.
Outline:
Introduction
The Tool, Machine and Material Object
The Health Care Institution/Hospital as a Technological World
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The pervasive presence of technology has for most become a monument to the ingenuity, persistence and flexibility of the human mind and spirit. It is a symbol of the unceasing struggle for control of one's fate in the midst of adversity and uncertainty. This is no less prominent than in the practice of modern medicine. The present sophistication and sheer complexity of technology is not only immense compared to health care a century ago, but also evokes mixed sentiments towards its progress to even more sophisticated "health care solutions.""

Abstract
This paper considers how graphic design was much influenced by technological developments in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and continues to be influenced by new developments in technology, with computer-aided graphic design being a current example. The paper further discusses how graphic design came into its own as a separate discipline in the late nineteenth century, though the art of arranging text and image to convey a message is much older in practice. Graphic design as a discipline came with the development of various technological shifts allowing for such arrangements on a mass scale through the arts of photography, printing, and widespread dissemination.

From the Paper
"This paper compares ancient Egyptian art with ancient Greek art and considers the ways in which the Greeks were influenced by Egyptian art. Egypt established a long and enduring artistic tradition. Greek art drew heavily on that background, using many of the same kinds of subjects and incorporating many similar symbols but then reinterpreted them through very different eyes and a strikingly different cultural perception. Both visions continue to have a profound impact on artists in modern cultures from their representation of everyday life to the varied..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the history of the ninjas and shows how they used their techniques to achieve many great feats. It discusses how these techniques are in danger of losing continuity with the advancement of technology. It compares some of the techniques with modern-day combat gear.
From the Paper
"More and more ways of defeating our enemies are being made available with out sending anyone into enemy territory. With technology we are becoming isolated from actual combat, not being able to defend ourselves. We cannot be sure that certain machinery will work one hundred percent without a malfunction. With a certain level of training deadly arts of the ninja techniques we can infiltrate our enemies without being detected and accomplish our mission if a malfunction ever occurs with technology. This will give us the ability to be confident in whatever we do and with right amount of training we can kick butt and become a stealth assassin, not having to worry about technology while our adversaries are worrying."
