Technology paper requires that the sources are reliable, available and verified. The data should also be current or up-to-date and relevant to the main idea. Most of the times, writing technology papers is a great challenge to the students especially in choosing a topic from the wide range available. Furthermore, technology papers dictate that students provide possible solutions and adapt a pragmatic approach to solve a problem while taking on different aspects of the problem or provide reason based on the effects of technology on the environment. The structure of the technology paper has to be in agreement with the course.
Generally, the technology paper must contain the introduction section. Here, one has to acquaint the reader to the topic of study and define various terminologies to avoid confusions, provide a relation of the current problem to existing research, as well as indicate the focus (the existing gap) of the technology paper and research objectives. What follows this is the literature review which requires the writer to read and analyze what other researchers have written on the same topic before one does own research. This is important in ensuring that one avoids repetition of what other writers have done previously and indicate how you have borrowed from or improved upon the ideas of others.

Information technology has certainly had a huge impact on society as a collective; on the way we produce things and communicate. However, its influence on the individual and how we live our lives is subtle, often overlooked, and has possibly an even greater impact on collective health and well-being.
When walked into work this morning both of the ladies I work with lamented “I hate computers.” One was having trouble receiving calls on her recently purchased cell phone. The other was unable to upload the yoga class I was about to instruct on the screen. I hate computers. Their comments reverberated in the echoed walls of the yoga studio. “I hate computers.” Why?
One reason is frustration. Several of us don’t know the codes or the keystrokes to get the things to perform what the company promised in the marketing campaign, that seduced us to purchase their new and nifty gadget! Many of those campaigns appeal to unmet needs. Needs like: It’ll make my life more convenient so I have more time for living. Or; It’s a sexy product, so I’ll look and feel more sexy and hip in my life. (Especially excellent for the young, who are mounting self images; and for those who have lived a while, and wish to rejuvenate their image.)

Technology papers are written to discuss topics on how people have utilized different forms of technology in their lives. There are different types of technology papers. The most common include; technology essays, technology term papers, technology research papers, technology thesis and technology dissertations. Writing technology papers is not the easiest of task as it requires one to follow systematic procedures. The first step would be to select an appropriate topic if the topic is not already provided by your instructor. Technology is a very broad field that can provide many interesting topics for writing technology essays, term papers and other technology papers. Sometimes having so many topics posses a challenge to students when they are required to select an appropriate topic.
Key point to remember when selecting a topic for your technology papers is that the topic should be specific enough to enable you to cover all aspects of the topic. When you choose a wide topic you might not be able to cover all of it within the scope of your paper while a too narrow topic will limit your scope of study. The topic you select for your technology papers should be interesting and should focus on your area of interest. The next step is to conduct thorough research on the topic you have selected and collect as much information as possible. Since technology is a dynamic field ensure that you use current research material so at to improve the validity of your augment.

The Army Technology Zone at Maker Faire Detroit is coming to life. Dr. Grace Bochenek, TARDEC director, visited the site this morning to view the exhibits and talk to RDECOM participants. Maker Faire Detroit takes place this weekend at The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Mich. Organizers expect 20,000 visitors to the event that celebrates the innovative and creative spirit of all exhibitors and participants, including the makers of Utilikilts, manufacturers of utility kilts for everyday wear.
How Technology is the key to development in Africa,
By Ocean Marambanyika, University of Oslo, Norway.
Anyone who denies this will do so at their own peril. Technology is the single most important lever for development. There is no other thing that rivals the power of technology to empower and bring people out of poverty, hunger, desperation and the calamities in the developing worlds. Why is it that those who dominate are continuing to dominate today? Is it not technology that makes them do so? If one group from the Americans and one from the Kenyans or one from Great Britain and one from Zimbabwe are asked to make a boxing or physical fight with bare hands, who will win? If these groups are asked to fight with spears and arrows, who will win? If these groups are asked to run for a thousand kilometers on their legs, who will win? At the same time if we substitute the legs, the bare hands and the boxing court with drones, F16 fighter jets, the trident, submarines, cyber space, rockets and the concode, who will win the race? It is clear therefore that it is technological innovation that is the key to prosperity and development.

Introduction
Advances in technology have significantly influenced in the blind and low vision individuals. Over the past 20th year improvement in computer has allowed for readily access to VI. Today a large percentage of students with VI spend over 80% of their school days in general educational classroom. Student with very severe visual impairment may need to learn read and write using different methods. Braille is a coded system of dots embossed on paper, so that individuals can feel a page of text. Braille is use for different type of reading such as Maths, and Music. Now seen fewer people are using Braille as a reading method today. First reason is that Braille method is slow. According to Tuttle and Ferrell (1995) reported that good Braille reader achieve a rate of only 100 words per minutes. Nolan (1967) found that average high school students who is blind reads even fewer words per minutes.
Can you think of some other reason, Why Braille is less popular today? The first reason is that the teachers don’t know how to use or teach the Braille and unavailability of the experts. Another reason is increasing availability of audio tape, immediate computerized print to voice translation difficulty of getting Braille version of books. Braille literacy has become focus of a great debate. Advanced technology is a reason for its unpopularity.

The critical issues of technological change involve people, before profits. To anticipate signs of change when planning and implementing new technology, and assessing the impact of new technology on human resources, managers must ask questions such as the following:
What individual and organizational values are shifting? How will working conditions change? How will the change affect organizational and/or individual responsibility? Who must be re-skilled?
Seeking answers to these questions will enable managers to shift their focus from profit maximization to a concern about the integrated organization.
TECHNOLOGY FOSTERS INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES
Traditionally, people chose to use new technology to perform dangerous, difficult or dirty tasks [3D’s], to meet a perceived need or because of a preference for a specific value.
Today, technology fosters value.

Scientific fields are commonly divided into two major groups: natural sciences, which study natural phenomena (including biological life), and social sciences, which study human behavior and societies. These groupings are an empirical sciences, which means the knowledge must be based on observable phenomena and capable of being tested for its validity by other researchers working under the same conditions. There are also related disciplines that are grouped into interdisciplinary and applied sciences, such as engineering and health science. Within these categories are specialized scientific fields that can include elements of other scientific disciplines but often possess their own terminology and body of expertise. Technology is the process by which humans modify the nature to meet their needs and wants. Technology includes the entire infrastructure necessary for the design, manufacture, operation, and repair technological artifacts from corporate headquarters and engineering schools to manufacturing plants and maintenance facilities. The knowledge and processes used to create and operate technological artifacts—engineering know-how manufacturing expertise and various technological skills—are equally important of technology.
Natural resources according to Enger and Smith are defined as those structures ans process that can be used by humans for their own purposes but can not be created by them. Natural resources occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by mankind, in a natural form. A natural resource is often characterized by amounts of biodiversity existent in various ecosystems.
