Core 1 Part 2: Participate

Technology is in the process of advancing very quickly. We now already rely on computers, cell phones, and other forms of advanced technology to help us get through the day. Whether it be making a call from a cell phone, checking and sending an email on a cell phone or even carrying around a laptop from class to class. These everyday actions already seem like very advanced processes that we use from day to day; however, the field of technology is still continuing to grow more rapidly. By the time college students begin starting a career, we will be using even more futuristic and technologically advanced programs and media in the workplace.

I am currently a Business major and am planning on becoming a successful business woman once I graduate college. Not only do I intend on working my way up the business ladder, but my goal is to also, one day, be the CEO of a large company. With this job, I know that I will need to be literate in the field of technology because business firms rely a lot on computers and electronics to keep their corporations running. As far as what futuristic technology my field will require, I will need to make sure that I am skilled in the category of any type of new and improved Microsoft Office programs, as well as, all of the new touch screen and voice activated features that are now being added to computers. Technology is also becoming more virtual and interactive,and new forms of multimedia are also being created. Some new types of technology that may be around when I begin my career are things that are automated such as robotics, electronic information systems, smart appliances and smart hardware. I believe that by the time I am satisfied with where I stand in my career, we will be using technology that is mainly voice controlled and automated. I also think that technology will be so futuristic and advanced by this time that all of our electronics will be able to perform tasks like humans do, and will actually be able to replace some humans in the work force.
