Instructions Directions: Be sure to make an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) pages in length; refer to the “Assignment Format” page for specific format requirements. In your course, turn to Lesson 8. Skim through it to refresh your memory. Next, carefully study and review the section titled “Approaches to Measuring Technological Progress.”Use your own words to write a short compare-and-contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct perspectives on the evolution of technology. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable. Be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example: A Comparison of Three Perspectives on the Evolution of Technology Mei QuoranYour essay should include five paragraphs, as follows: Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say in comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler with respect to the evolution of technology. Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs. In your essay, use paragraph 2 to describe the perspective of Gerhard Lenski. In paragraph 3, you’ll write about the perspective of Leslie White. In paragraph 4, you’ll describe and discuss the perspective of Alvin Toffler. Paragraph 5 is your summary and conclusion. Here, you’ll compare the three perspectives to show how they are, or maybe, similar. You’ll contrast the three perspectives to describe how they’re different. You’ll end this process–and your essay–by expressing your view as to which of these theorists (one or more) offer the most useful insights into the evolution of technology, in your opinion. It’s permissible to use direct quotes from your reading, but don’t use too many. One to three such quotes should be your limit. Be sure to put a direct quote in quotation marks. For example: According to Smith, “Carbon dioxide is both our friend and our enemy.”

Description: Compose an informative essay that explores a new technological development in your field of study. For example, you might choose to explore drone delivery if you are in the TESLA START pathway, virtual reality for STEM, or digitized textbooks if you are pursuing Education. In addition to explaining to your audience about the technology, you must also argue whether or not you believe this technology is ultimately beneficial to the field, elaborating why or why not by exploring potential applications, dangers, and/or limitations. For instance, while digitized textbooks may sound like a novel resource in education, what about students who do not have regular or reliable internet access? In order to help you to explain your technology, you should conduct research on your topic and incorporate quotations and/or paraphrases from three outside sources within your essay. Note: When composing an informative essay, you must achieve accuracy and disclosure throughout your writing. In other words, always endeavor to present correct information (reinforced through your research and outside sources), and be sure that you provide your reader with sufficient background and detail about your topic, especially considering that they may not be familiar with this technology. You should submit a 1000 word essay (not counting the work cited page), typed and double-spaced.  Use Times New Roman font in 12-pt size.  Format your paper according to MLA guidelines.

For the final project, you will be conducting a forensics investigation using one of the following items: A smartphone A network (ideally, a wireless network)  You may use either for your investigation. However, be aware of the legal issues surrounding your data gathering. If you are using any system you do not personally control and have authority to investigate/discover, please get written permission from the owner/operator of the system or refrain from your forensics analysis of that system and use a personal system. For a network, you can use your own personal home network. For a smartphone, consider using an image from the Internet or a personal device. There could be issues related to using a live, active, personal device (example: corruption of the device). If using a personal device, consider using an old, outdated phone, if available. You will review various forensics tools used with your selected system. Select a tool and use that tool to gather forensics data for analysis. You are simulating the process of gathering this data, so you do not need to investigate a compromised device or system. The project deliverables are as follows:  Week 7 – Prepare an investigative report of the forensics data capture conducted using the tool selected for this purpose. The paper should provide the following information:  Executive Summary of your investigation, including a description of the device or systems and the tool used for the forensics analysis Step-by-step description you used to gather data for analysis Report on the information that was obtainable from the device Graphics evidence that you conducted the forensics data gathering and analysis  The paper should be in a form that would be used for reporting to a court or a law enforcement agency. Be sure to provide graphics evidence of your forensics investigation effort (Screenshots, reports, etc.). References should be in APA format.  For more information on Smartphone read this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone

Before completing this assignment please research “how to write a professional email”.  Remember, an email is basically an old school letter, but sent electronically.  Although texting may be how we communicate primarily with family and friends, in the professional environment, 87% of workers perceive email to be the key form of within their workplace.Shamkova, Irina. “How Technology Is Redefining the Workplace, Workday, and Workforce.”  Intermedia’s Business Cloud Blog, Intermedia, 9 May 2018,    www.intermedia.net/report/ucaasworkplace2018. Accessed 8 January, 2019. This study was commissioned by Intermedia and delivered by Branded Research Inc., an independent market research organization Part one Our culture has given us mixed messages about how to communicate with CMC (computer-mediated communication).  Some of us have either never been taught or we have lost a sense of professionalism. Students are often informal in their academic communication with professors.  Therefore, professors need to know that students understand how to CORRECTLY/PROFESSIONALLY, FORMALLY email a professor, dean, potential employer, boss or CEO of their own company. Write a formal, MLA 8th edition source citation for the resource where you found the information for writing a formal email. (Please include accessed dates and URLs on electronic sources)Write both a subject line and a formal email to a professor, dean, boss, or company CEO including Clear subject line (typically 7 words or less)Respectful salutation (select more formal than less formal)Message content or request (include any relevant due dates or deadlines); keep it specific to the issue. Review for grammatical or spelling errors (no “texting” shortcuts ie “wbu”, “lol” etc)End with a formal, complimentary closing statement Use a full signature Your posting should be between 250-400 words. (If students are challenged meeting the word count – make the body of the email longer/add more content or description of a specific issue.)
