TEDTalk; Pinker’s graphs

/in /by

Watch the TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/steven_pinker_is_the_world_getting_better_or_worse_a_look_at_the_numbers
Canadian-American psychologist Steven Pinker uses statistics to outline the progress that the world has made from 18th century to the present day. He concludes that the world is better now than ever before.

Summarize two of Pinker’s graphs on the changes that the world has made from the video, where he uses data to back up his claim (e.g. life expectancy, child mortality, famine).
What do you think of his approach – and what do you conclude from his data and argument?
Do you agree, based on his argument, that the world is getting better, and that the impact of improvements in “development” is having a better effect on global wealth?

Keep in mind:

Answer the questions in 400-500 words (one/one and a half pages), double spaced, 12 pt font.

You should reference ideas from the video or textbook by using the following format for citations in text: (Rosling 2010) or (Rubenstein 2019). If you cite directly you also have to add the page number, e.g. Rubenstein describes the situation of the Roma as “devastating and desperate” (Rubenstein 2019: 44).

How technology helps a new business

/in /by

Find a totally new product that has recently been introduced in the market. We have new items exposed to us all the time, and it is almost as though we are now numb to the new items out there. You may have to make a quick trip to a local store to find something that is truly new to you. Just driving down the street may expose a new business that has opened up. We are often so busy in life that we do not realize what is new to our environment. Take a moment to consider this as you begin to work on this assignment. Then, when you have found a new product or business, consider how technology has impacted this business, not only internally, but externally to you, the consumer. Initial Post: Answer the following questions:

Discuss two ways that IT helps the business’s/product’s new opportunities.
