Emerging Technology

When most people think of the technological environment the first thing that comes to mind is whether or not they "have the Internet". This is only one part of the world of business. Every day a new piece of technology is being developed somewhere around the world. The technological environment could be something as simple as whether or not vendors use Interact to receive payment, or do you have to pay cash. The degree to which a region has an advanced technological environment is often related to the health of the economic environment which would contain the companies that are making money, and paying taxes, to support the government funds spent on the infrastructure.

In 21st century, Internet and browser are almost as common as text book and chalk board. Teachers are painfully aware of the importance of bringing technology into their curriculum, both to engage students and also to give them the skills they will need to success. Now that the hardware and connectivity are in place, the push is on to find the media that teachers can use to make utilizing technology worthwhile.
