Technology and Social Media Emerging Technology

Question: Describe about the Technology and Social Media for Emerging Technology. Answer: Introduction The report consists of a summary of an emerging technology. The report is divided into two parts. The first part contains a journal analysis related to the new technology. The emerging technology chosen for the report is 3D printing technology. In the analysis part, the critical issues along with the specific genre of writing are mentioned in the study. Apart from that, the second part is related to the implication of new technology in the real world along with the impact of social media. There are different information practices that are responsible for reflecting the impacts on social media on community. Discussion of Week 2 The emerging technology that is described n the study is about 3D printing technology. Also known as, additive manufacturing technology turns 3D models into real solid structure. It was discovered in the year of 1980 and was used as rapid prototyping. However, from the last few years the technology has evolved in the form of next generation technology. It is used in many spheres of industries. Different businesses use it for patent, prototyping of its various products. The journal that has been chosen for describing the technology of 3D printing is related to medical sciences (McMenamin et al. 2014). The technology is used in different aspects of medical sciences such as CT imaging, CT scan, and anatomy of human. The medical students usually face difficulty in the learning process. The process of teaching has becoming a topic of social controversy in many parts of the world. The article focused on usage of additive manufacturing on creation of different reproduction of anatomical spe cimens and projected human cadaver. The technology of 3D printing is responsible for creation of structures of original human beings that helps the student in their learning processes. Before the use of 3D printing, the teaching of human anatomy has witnessed many issues of social controversy. The article discusses elaborately on the implementation of the technology in various fields of medical sciences. However, every innovation has its advantages and limitations. Many advantages of the additive manufacturing technology are used in teaching of anatomy of human beings to medical students. The limitation regarding this issue is the cost. Huge cost is incurred in the implementation of 3D technology in different aspects of biotechnology. Plastic printers are far better than 3D printers, as it creates images of higher resolution than 3D printers. It is a limitation of the technology that is mentioned in the journal. The journal article is written in technological utopianism. There are many types of genres of writing journals as stated by Kling. Kling has divided the category of writing articles into five types of genres such as social realism, utopian, analytical reduction, anti utopian and social theory. Technological elements are present in the utopian articles. The utopian articles contain description of future technologies along with their social implications and meanings. The utopian writers usually focuses on different systems that are computer based. It is linked to production of powerful images on a large scale. Substantial space examining is a characteristic of technological utopianism article. The journal of anatomy successfully fosters the genre of utopian style of writing. The writers of the article focuses on different scientific instruments related to 3D printing technology. The usage pattern of the technology has various limitations that is explained in the style of utopian style of writing. However, there are different views of researchers and academic writers regarding utopian style of writing that are not considered in this study for describing this particular genre of writing. Discussion of Week 3 Sully Burford in his book related to social media has mentioned about information practices of usage of social media. They are: Projects: orderly and panned, Innovation, agility and autonomy, Collecting community knowledge, Inclusive description language, Repositioning and reimaging information agencies, Relating, engaging and communicating (Burford 2012). The scientific discoveries and technological breakthrough that are highlighted in the Futurism Facebook page are responsible for shaping humanity and organizations. Impact of social media nowadays has changed the world of promotions (Criado et al. 2013). People are connected with one another at different parts of the world through social media. I have noticed that professional practice of different organizations has serious impact on the different information practices of Burford (Howard et al. 2012). The types of post that Futurism Facebook page upload in their platform are innovative and can provide organizations to support the practice of innovation within their company. I have seen that the Facebook page is responsible for managing some change in the organizational pattern of supporting innovation (Ruths and Pfeffer 2014). Many companies in their field of social media promotion use the six information practices of Brudford. I have noticed that the impact of these factors are util ized by social media marketers to engage huge customer segments from the target market (Waran et al. 2014) However, I have seen that the emerging technology mentioned in the earlier paragraph i.e. 3D printing technology can get benefit from the website of Futurism. The companies that are dealing with the technology of 3D printing must get new ideas regarding the promotional techniques of forecasting their new variants of technologies (Berthon et al. 2012). Government of different countries is also influenced by the power of social media. In many cases, I have noticed that it is due to the mindset of the people that accept the technological benefits in the society. Development is not limited in terms of organizational perspective but also it acts as a driver in the individual perspectives. The two sources of academic and practical views have created a positive impact on my organization as well as firms around the world supporting innovation (Mergel 2013). Conclusion The report discusses about the different aspects of social media promotion of technological impact on community. The Facebook page of Futurism is known for its technological innovation. There are different types of innovation that is uploaded in the Facebook platform of the Futurism. Apart from that, there are six practices of information that can be implemented by the organizations or government bodies that supports growth of technology. The journal article related to emerging technology of 3D printing describes about utopian style of writing of journal articles. The limitation of the technological field is also explained in the report. References Berthon, P.R., Pitt, L.F., Plangger, K. and Shapiro, D., 2012.
