Technology Focus

Question 1

Over the last 50 years, the United States labor economy has changed from a manufacturing to service and technology focus. Other than the obvious changes, such as fewer mine tragedies and more carpal tunnel syndrome, what other trends in employment safety do you predict, and what is your evidence for that prediction? How should companies respond? How would you respond? Why?

Question 2

Currently, there are questions over whether it is permissible for ISP’s (major U.S. providers include Comcast, Verizon and AT & T) to control aspects of speed and delivery of content on their networks to their subscribers. Many subscribers and sites have complained about these practices, asserting that the ISPs should handle all content the same. What organization or governmental entity should handle this? How should it be resolved?
