Is ADD Now TIADD – Technology Induced Attention Deficit Disorder?
Author: admin
Society today, ‘Today’ being defined as the time from the late 1980′s to the present, has undergone a rapid evolution in information collection, manipulation, storage and presentation. With the introduction of personal computers, the internet, smart phones and more, the life has been transformed into an environment where information readily becomes available on demand.
Along with this technology, comes greater expectation. Initially, users were limited to certain types of data; internal business data and standard news information, enabling people to provide limited information to management and peers.
As technology has become a focal point of life for most of the developed world, cost has decreased as rapidly as innovation has progressed, making information more accessible and affordable than ever before.
With this reduced cost and more readily available access, new problems have come to light. Business and human process began to rely more on technology. People began to rely on technology to make decisions or mange decisions. In the past, it was only businesses that relied on technology to drive efficiencies, creating expectation previously achieved through people, process and time. Now, personal expectations have been raised, for every aspect of our lives. This fundamental change in expectation is the foundation for our assertion that ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) has manifested itself in many aspects of our lives, both in and out of the workplace; our term for this is Technology Induced Attention Deficit Disorder or TIADD.
Twelve years ago we introduced TIADD to the business community as part of our methodology for resolving business efficiency issues in the workplace. In the late 1990′s, this disorder was manifesting itself regularly in the workplace, however throughout the early 2000′s, TIADD has begun to show up throughout society.

1. How to download an online TV software for PC or laptop
There are hundreds of internet TV software being sold online. Some of these software offer anywhere between 1000 to 10,000 TV channels from around the world. It’s however a big gamble to select a good one. Most of these softwares don’t have good quality picture and sound and are simply not worth your money.
Once you have identified a good software, you can visit their checkout page for payment details. Most of these programs are retailed at low cost. On the payment page, they will request your card details and once done you are directed to a download page.
The actual download of the PCTV software takes anywhere between 2 -5 minutes. Since this is a digital product, downloading it is just like any other operating software or anti-virus that you have done before.
On downloading the online PC software, you can then save it in your computer and it will automatically create a short cut on your desktop. You will be using the shortcut to open the TV software once you need to watch internet TV.
2. What your Computer Needs before you get PC satellite TV software installed
Most of the computer online softwares will work seamlessly with your computer. Chances are that your PC or laptop is ready to receive and broadcast world TV over the internet. One of the softwares that I have used for some time now operates with all versions of Windows operating software from Win 2000.
Your computer RAM (Random Access Memory) needs to be at least 520mb to enable your computer to have enough virtual memory to run the video files. Anything less will make your computer drag and give you a ‘not enough virtual memory’ error every time you try to run the satellite software.

Bluetooth technology is a type of the wireless technology that eliminates the need for the number of inconvenient cables and devices that are used to connect the computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, handheld devices and new digital appliances. Bluetooth enables the users to connect to a wide variety of telecommunication and computing devices easily, without cables.
It makes rapid ad hoc connections, automatic unconscious connections between two or more digital devices. Bluetooth provides the opportunity of using the mobile data in different applications. Bluetooth makes wireless communication between the two devices in a localized area of a room of office or home very easily. Bluetooth technology uses radio-based links and all the connections between the devices and invisible and instantaneous.
By Bluetooth technology your laptop can send print request to a printer in your next room. Bluetooth is actually a standard for wireless communication between the devices in a relatively small area and it is therefore works fine in the personal area network (pan) using radio frequency.
Any two devices that follow the Bluetooth standard can communicate with each other. A number of the Bluetooth devices like digital camera, mobile phone and handheld pc can form a network. You can send emails to your mobile phones from your laptop without any physical connect between your laptop and your mobile phones.
Features of Bluetooth technology
o Bluetooth technology uses radio waves for communication in 2.4 GHz
o It supports multi point communication not just point to point.
o Bluetooth works in a small area of 10-15 meters.
o Bluetooth offers speed of 1-2 mbps.
o Bluetooth chipsets are less expensive though more expensive than IrDA.

The Impact of Technology on the Developing Child
Author: admin
Reminiscing about the good old days when we were growing up is a memory trip well worth taking, when trying to understand the issues facing the children of today. A mere 20 years ago, children used to play outside all day, riding bikes, playing sports and building forts. Masters of imaginary games, children of the past created their own form of play that didn’t require costly equipment or parental supervision. Children of the past moved… a lot, and their sensory world was nature based and simple. In the past, family time was often spent doing chores, and children had expectations to meet on a daily basis. The dining room table was a central place where families came together to eat and talk about their day, and after dinner became the center for baking, crafts and homework.
Today’s families are different. Technology’s impact on the 21st century family is fracturing its very foundation, and causing a disintegration of core values that long ago were what held families together. Juggling work, home and community lives, parents now rely heavily on communication, information and transportation technology to make their lives faster and more efficient. Entertainment technology (TV, internet, videogames, iPods) has advanced so rapidly, that families have scarcely noticed the significant impact and changes to their family structure and lifestyles. A 2010 Kaiser Foundation study showed that elementary aged children use on average 8 hours per day of entertainment technology, 75% of these children have TV’s in their bedrooms, and 50% of North American homes have the TV on all day. Add emails, cell phones, internet surfing, and chat lines, and we begin to see the pervasive aspects of technology on our home lives and family milieu. Gone is dining room table conversation, replaced by the “big screen” and take out. Children now rely on technology for the majority of their play, grossly limiting challenges to their creativity and imaginations, as well as limiting necessary challenges to their bodies to achieve optimal sensory and motor development. Sedentary bodies bombarded with chaotic sensory stimulation, are resulting in delays in attaining child developmental milestones, with subsequent impact on basic foundation skills for achieving literacy. Hard wired for high speed, today’s young are entering school struggling with self regulation and attention skills necessary for learning, eventually becoming significant behavior management problems for teachers in the classroom.
