Abstract
This paper is an analysis of several different types of technology , and the effect that each of them has on on different part of the tourism industry. Some of the issues discussed are, the used of the internet, digital video and laser video.
From the paper:
"The IMAX films that are promoting Pittsburgh right now are also very interesting because it puts the viewer in perspective of the destination. It is a virtual reality of the destination. People will not always be sold just by word of mouth, but if they could actually see the destination and, in a way experience part of it at home, then they will be more likely to want to travel to that particular destination. Another one of my articles talks about the internet and how important it is to have good marketing skills in order to sell your business or destination. People are on the internet more now than ever and are constantly thirsting for more information."

Abstract
This paper explains that, today, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a growing need for technological literacy, but it is unclear how technology education teachers are making decisions on classroom practice based on the "Standards for Technological Literacy", which focuses on what every student in grades K-12 should know and be able to do in order to be technologically literate. The author states that the study will address the issue of assessing standards-based training needs through a critical review of the scholarly literature followed by a survey of what 7th to 10th grade technology education teachers in Arizona know about the standards, how they are using them and what the need for standards-based training. The paper relates that a Likert-type scale will be used to determine the acceptance and use of the STL and to measure the perceived needs of standards-based training.

From the Paper
"To date, thousands of technology teachers, science and mathematics teachers, and other educators and experts from around the country have collaborated in an effort to identify precisely what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should be learning about technology. This group, together with content specialists and representatives from the National Research Council (NRC) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), reviewed Standards for Technological Literacy and recommended modifications and additions. The resulting document, supported by both NRC and NAE, defined the study of technology as a discipline and provided a framework for individual teachers, schools, school districts, and states or provinces to develop technological literacy in all students. The research to date indicates that when schools provide students with a quality education in their primary language they provide them with two things: knowledge and literacy."

Abstract
This paper explains that creative, innovative schools and educators are striving to incorporate technology, which will broaden the scope of their classroom with research and project-based learning; unfortunately, these innovative schools and educators are in the minority. The author points out that the research on whether or not technology can be used to increase student learning varies widely: Some research indicates that technology has little impact on achievement while other research indicates that technology is "the" answer. The paper relates that the conditions for the effective use of educational technology are access, functionality, technical development and professional development.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are four ways to categorize technology and how it is used for instruction in the classroom. According to Means( 1994), the four uses for technology in education are: as a tutor, to explore, as applied tools, and to communicate. When technology teaches directly to the student with little help from the teacher it is being used as a tutor. When technology is used in this manner, the student is not free to explore, instead they are guided in a step by step-by-step manner by the technology. Drill and practice software, instructional television and computer assisted instruction are examples of technology as a tutor. Using technology as a tutor is especially effective for learning languages and for providing enrichment activities for students who need additional reinforcement of skills."

Abstract
This paper shows how Headrick discusses the effects of technology on the process of imperialism. while Prakash considers the development of "Scientific Hinduism" in India. thanks to the influence of the British. The writer states that there are constructive and destructive effects of technology and that the development of "Scientific Hinduism" was unique to the Indian subcontinent.
From the Paper
"When one contemplates the ?Age of Imperialism? (commonly considered to be from the early to mid-18th century until the beginning of the First World War in 1914), during which the European nations branched out to foreign lands in the hopes of exploiting them for their resources, the idea of a ?civilizing mission? comes to mind. The Western source of self-assured superiority was their understanding of modern science and they believed that by bringing knowledge to the primitive peoples of non-Western civilizations they (the Europeans) would be imparting grace and power upon these unsophisticated natives. The reality of the process became more of an imposition of Western ideals upon societies that were by their very nature incompatible with Europeans conceptions of civilization. Such is the interest of two books, Tools of the Empire by Daniel Headrick and Another Reason by Gyan Prakash; however the two authors take different stances on the overall outcome of Western influence upon their imperial subjects. Headrick argues that the Europeans (most importantly the British) aimed to build empires through the introduction of then-modern technology (henceforth to be referred to as simply ?modern technology?). Improved weaponry, steamboats, medicine, and ever-quickening communications were developed, though some were far more effective (communications, transportation, medicine) in terms of actually building healthy empires as opposed to subjugating the unwilling (weaponry). The results of such advances, according to Headrick, garnered distinct winners (the Europeans) and losers (the conquered; Africans, Burmese, etc.). Prakash discusses the so-called modernization of India by the British; however he sees the Indian result as a hybrid of the two unique nations?one that is superior to the original thanks to changed incited by British imperial rule. Headrick attempts to tackle the general process of empire-building while Prakash discuses a very interesting special case, thereby making Another Reason less suited to address the overall nature of imperialism."

Abstract
The paper discusses how technical innovation impacts organizational behavior, intra-relationships and interrelationships. The paper looks at how electronic media and digital communications influence our thinking processes. The paper then examines the effects of changing technology in the workplace.
From the Paper
"For instance, people today are surrounded by electronic media along with more traditional print media, and many assume that this mass of sensory input from media has an effect on the way people think. Of course, media has an influence on what we think, as the money spent on advertising indicates as companies try to influence our thinking, or as political parties try to gather support for their candidate or cause. On a deeper level, though, all this media may alter the way human begins actually to think, meaning not what they think but how. With computer technology in particular, analysts see the machine operating in imitation of human thought. The issue now is whether human thought is beginning to imitate the machine and will do so even more in the future."

"The police officer?s job is one that is demanding as well as dangerous. From the routine traffic stop to the pursuit of someone armed and dangerous, the police officer depends on the technology and equipment that are the tools of his trade. The advancement of technology in the twentieth century was one of rapid acceleration and has proven to be effective both in the control as well as the perpetration of crime. The technology provided to the police officer is being at all times defended by offensive creations and implementations by the criminal element in society."

Abstract
This paper begins with a brief history of the development of transportation, including land, air and sea travel. The link between transport and society are examined in terms of the effects on the economy, on business and on culture. Alternate forms of transport and new developments are outlined.
From the Paper
"Technology, transportation and society are three areas that are interlinked. Technology determines what transportation will exist. The transportation that exists determines how we will live and the nature of our society also determines what transportation is created.
Transportation systems have developed considerably in the last century, giving us the society we currently have. The major development in the last few decades is in technology, with this likely to have a significant impact on future transportation systems.
The current transportation systems have also resulted in several problems, mostly related to environmental and quality of life issues. An understanding of these problems is likely to result in better planning and application of future transportation systems."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Comet jet airplane accidents of the early 1950?s, and the profound effects they had on certain aspects of our society. The author examines the various effects a technological disaster has on our lives and the world around us, as well as how our views towards the technology may be altered after a technological disaster.
From the Paper:
"By examining the jet aircraft industry, but in particular the British jet aircraft industry after the accidents, we are able to gain insight into what people?s conceptions were, and why certain events unfolded as they did. With any technological disaster, trust in the product is often lost very quickly, and various actions are often taken to try and restore this trust. By examining these actions we can better understand how many people felt about the technology after the disasters. Lastly, not all technological disasters have purely negative connotations. Much can be learned from technological accidents that eventually lead to important improvements in the technology. By examining one major technological failure and its various effects we can gain a better understanding of how we are affected by technology as well as how our views towards the technology may be altered."

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper analyzes the published results of various studies relating to the positive impact of integrating technology into the classroom. The general aim of this paper illustrates that implementing computers and computer related programs into the classroom ultimately leads to the improvement of student achievement. The writer contends and explains why technology in education cannot be effective in and of itself, as there are many important social contexts connected within the process of education. This paper details the attention that must be paid to the strategies used in teaching involving various forms of technology in the classroom. This paper explores the results of a study conducted by the Software Publishers Association which summed up 176 studies that were undertaken from 1990 to 1995 about the effectiveness of technology in schools. The summary of the report showed that technology rich environments had a positive effect regarding the performance of the students. This paper also delves into the various forms of technologies used in the classroom including internet and email, which supplies individual written answers to questions and replies from the teachers to the students. The e-mail replies received from the students can then be built into different files for the students, which can be made more sophisticated by asking the students to form a web page that best displays their work. The writer also discusses the importance of educators being flexible in the application of this particular methodology as well as keeping up to date with the latest advancements in modern technology.

Abstract
The Effective Use of Technology to Improve Student Performance in Any Classroom
References
From the Paper
"One of the simplest technologies that can be used is through Email, which supplies individual written answers to questions and replies from the teachers to the students. The replies received from the students can then be built into different files for the students, though this will require applying some high level Email software. Again the Email from the students can be made more sophisticated by asking the students to reply to questions finally forming a web page. This helps the students become more focused in their studies. The responses to the form sent out can be collected by the teacher in a file on the server, but this requires higher technology. This method helps the computer itself analyze and evaluate the responses given by the students. This can be used with multiple choice answers which can reply the results directly to the students. In case, the multiple choice use is not feasible, then short answers can be collected for evaluation by the teacher or the teaching assistant."

Abstract
This paper outlines ten steps that must be taken in order to ensure that the use of technology for learning is effective as an educational tool. The paper goes on to describe strategies that should be adopted so that the issue of scarce resources and implementation barriers can be addressed. It also highlights the benefits of using technology in an educational setting. Finally, the paper emphasizes the point that learning through technology must take place in an appropriate context and that the methods employed are active, social, and reflective.
From the Paper
"Information Technology (IT) and the Internet are now seen as an indispensable part of educational systems. Yet, surprisingly, not enough thinking, study or research has been conducted to explain the way the latest technology should be integrated into the educational system (Maroki, 2001). Perhaps this is the reason why the track record of technology in improving educational outcomes on a large scale has been uneven. The greatest success that has been achieved is in the use of IT to teach technology-dependent content such as computer science, computer graphics in the arts, and data-intensive approaches to political science, followed by long-distance education. However, several problems have dogged most attempts to translate technological investments into improvements in educational outcomes across the board (Ehrmann, 2002), leading to many academic psychologists questioning the time and expense of developing an Internet-based course or program, as well as the potential increment in student learning (Piotrowski & Vodanovich, 2000). While the benefits of technology as a change agent in improving educational outcomes may yet to be proven, there is sufficient research evidence that is indicative of the benefits that could be gained, providing Instructional Technology Plans are developed, which take into account the learnings of the past."
