Culture and Technology - Coursework Example

Culture And Technology Technology Technology is the of a process that is being created by the human to simplify their lives. In every field of science, scientists are working on new techniques to create every day a new technology that can help mankind in their daily and can simplify. Technology is used in designing, operating, manufacturing, assembling and installing a technical product. Culture Living while sharing ideas, rules, plans, languages, communications in such a manner that a community creates of almost the same activities are said as the culture of that community. This culture spreads through more and more socializations. Culture varies from one community to another. In a book of Lederach J. P. (1995) says, "Culture is the shared knowledge and schemes created by a set of people perceiving, interpreting, expressing and responding to the social realities around them." People wakeup, take breakfast and go to their offices for work. In the evening they came back take rest, enjoy with family, go out to refresh their minds, have dinner and sleep at nights. The next day they do the same with slightly ups and down. So this is a culture of mankind community to eat, work, enjoy and sleep on daily basis. Changing this culture is impossible. Now if we take an example of an Accountant who daily writes hundreds of ledger pages using pen and paper giving pain to his fingers and stress on mind in hours now can do all this using a technology named as Computer, in few minutes through few clicks. Remote Computer Technology is increasing and updating in day by day. Abacus gives rise to Computer. Computer get advance gave rise to a technology known as Internet. Internet is used to communicate the world from one end to another. Not only this, but there are many uploaded free books and libraries that makes studies more comfortable and enhanced. Computer and major Internet becomes part of daily lives. Instead of having big expensive machines, people start buying personal computers. Computers get to be in reasonable price and technology rises to home to home. Internet starts being part of students, professionals and every field of man's life. The technology raised and internet and computer starts playing important role in business and large organization which tends people carry their work with them and Laptops or mini computers on mobile are evolved. Carrying laptops from one place to another was getting difficult, as laptops are expensive and a doubt to get theft increased. Tough technology with these thoughts researched and developed a Remote Computer. A Computer now can be operated via Internet anywhere. This technology is simple but allows you to access your business computer in office from home or computer at your home from far seven seas away. Windows XP as its component also introduced remote Computer. But it flopped at the time of low bandwidth Internet or Windows 95 and Windows XP difference. Development and Implementation Remote Installation Services uses different techniques to install and compile the remote computer for the use on different computers. RIS uses network communication while the remote sharing of computer. The network infrastructure should be slid so that it allows easily downloading the material from one end to another. Besides network, RIS uses special image transferring API's. Different Images heavy or light handled by RIS. Though after activation of RIS on computers a restart is required so that all setting gets fixed up while booting the computer. RIS allows client and server to communicate through images and commands. The continuous exchange of requests and responses allows the remote sharing. The architecture of Remote Sharing can be explained in a manner that client logs in to the network and uses its IP address. RIS helps to transfer the request to server. Serve accomplish the request and take image and send back to the client. The RIS on client computer receives the image and shows up. Clients move the mouse on its own computer desktop or do any other action the RIS transfers the request immediately to server and the same action tends to happen there. Server immediately throws back the image after that action to client. It is done in so speed that client never gets an idea of this long processing of request and response. User always gets a feeling that one is working on real time on his own personal computer at his home from his office. RIS allows the client to transfer files from its own Remote PC to the PC he is using in real. It also allows storing each and every request received by the server. Moreover, it allows printing remotely on server computer or through remote sharing printing at client's end. Sound quality can also be noticed from end server similarly as the true colors are being shown. Via RIS more than one computer can be remotely shared. Interaction Between Technology and Culture Technology and culture has to go side by side as without technology exploitation the world cannot get advance and without culture existence the globe can loose its original existence. Though this technology helped business community a lot by accessing Personal Computer at office from home on weekends. Moreover, our culture always wants us to keep lots of paper work and filing. These filing are sometimes required at other regions. Either these files or documents use to be fax or photo copied to send by couriers or scanned to email. But now it's easy to maintain files on your own computer. Technology helps culture to get relaxed and deliver number of documents in few minutes without spending much money from one end of the world to another through Remote File Sharing. I.e., by telling or sharing the Ip address. Not only this, Parents can keep an eye on their kids while at late nights when they ought to say they are suppose to complete their home assessments, using internet. It can also be helpful while keeping an eye on employees of a big business organization by the employer. These technologies are getting part of the culture. Without them the people are known to be incomplete or uneducated. Status and standards gets into difference. Summary Technology and culture are enhancing day by day together. If its important to maintain the cultural issues moving since grand ancestors; equally it is important to be educated and stay update with the new upcoming technologies by utilizing them in our daily life. Technologies like Computers, Televisions, Mobiles, Video Games, Audio/ Video Players, are now getting part of our culture rapidly. No doubt that time is no far when robots will be working as maids in the homes and people will be relaxing on the couch enjoying their families watching movies, games etc. Bibliography Lederach, J.P.
