IntroductionThis discussion will cover the technological progress that has been made as a society over the past decade, half century and century and will further discuss the origin of critical networks and computer systems and how they have had a positive and negative influence on today's society. Finally, it will explain emerging technologies that could become critical assets tomorrow or in generations to come. DiscussionThe difficulty in anticipating the evolution of technology is not based on understanding it, but on the speed with which information technology will change. According to Gallaire (1998) “the fact that what is possible does not always happen, and what happens may seem possible” (p. 47). Society ultimately chooses which of all the possible evolutions will become real, deciding where to invest and what to accept, adopt or reject. At the beginning of the evolution of critical networks and information technology, not everyone could imagine the need for a significant amount of computers, there was simply absolutely no way to anticipate their use either from a personal perspective or from a in economics (Gallaire, 1998). Very often it is the failure to create technological innovation that causes the interruption of the spoken language that speaks to machines. And finally, even experts who fully understand technical situations can be wrong. Bob Metcalfe, the inventor of local area networks in 1973, incorrectly predicted the collapse of the Internet by 1996 in 1995, but incorrectly calculated the rate at which the Internet's underlying infrastructure will be replaced to account for new needs (Gallaire, 1998) . .As communities grow, development expands, and... workers in the middle of paper, the tendency to write emails poorly can lead to confusion, rather than clarity, in the workplace. ConclusionCompanies are embracing technology in the world of work. way they do business and also as a catalyst to create something new, leading to new markets, new products and new areas of growth and revenue. In addition to the benefits of technologies, we also face challenges and vulnerabilities. References Gallaire, H. (1998). 21st Century Technologies: Promises and Perils of a Dynamic Future.
