Tech Development-Amazon by Claire and Ali

Amazon was first launched in 1995 as a book distributer, because books were in demand however book stores were limited in their capacity as to what they could carry. When the founder, Jeff Bezos, first came up with the idea of Amazon, he was modeling the company after book distributors, only this company would allow average people to have access to their supply and allow for purchase of a single book or two while book distributers only allowed book stores to purchase from them, and only in bulk orders.As online ordering became more popular, Amazon continued to expand their services to provide more products. After EBay opened their site, Amazon decided to launch their own auction site in order to compete, and in 2004 they launched their search engine. Today, Amazon has an auction site, , as well as the ability to purchase or rent movies instantly like iTunes and Netflix, the ability to purchase a wide variety of products, the rental/sale of books, online books for kindle, or textbooks, and they provide new products of their own
such as the Amazon Echo.

 

Amazon has increased their audience, originally targeting adults and students in need of books or retail items. Now their amazon prime which is discounted for students, has a huge draw for college students, and their variety movies and games eve draw young children. Since it was used for books in the beginning, the people who mostly used it where students or people that wanted to buy books. Now, everyone uses amazon for different uses, and because of that, amazon is commonly used in everyday life.

Customers use amazon to buy books, clothes, furniture, services or even other technological devices. It has also implemented fast one or two-day shipping which has been a perk for all of its customers. It has socially influenced its customers, because it has motivated them to use more online shopping. It has changed the world culturally since it has even promoted to do the supermarket online. The way it has changed economically is that it is one of the biggest stores, and it is only through the internet. It offers several brands that can be bought at once.

Amazon has a variety of regulations that include reporting to IRS. In Amazon, third party sellers have to report what they sell and earn by filing Form 1099-K for U.S. taxpayer sellers and filing out other forms if they are not from the States. In the United States, Amazon requires tax payer information in order to sell the production. These regulations are applied for profit and nonprofit organizations. However, each country has its own regulations and each person has to comply with the rules of the country they are in. If any of these regulations are violated, the amazon account will be deleted. The regulatory forces has impacted the way it is used, only in the sense to keep order.

As amazon continues to evolve, more regulations continue to pop up and challenge some of their plans. For example, amazon just released a new idea for drone delivery of their products to consumers, sometimes within 30 minutes. However, the Federal Aviation Administration just released a new set of regulations for the legalization of commercial drone aircraft flight such as size, weight, and technology restrictions. They also have to work with copyright regulations in the sale of their goods and release of movies and TV shows for their viewers.

Technological Development of Cell Phones – Natalie, Cassidy, Erin, Adam

How did it “evolve”?  

Cell phones have come a long way over the years. Originally designed for verbal communication, cell phones have evolved in terms of purpose. Early on, cell phones were strictly used for short, verbal communication. Gradually, cameras and texting started to become almost a necessity when purchasing one. Cell phones have become more than a necessity in today’s world. With internet and social media accessible on almost all cell phones, people of all ages feel obligated to own one. Additionally, cell phones give people a sense of personal identity. Coming in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, consumers are really able to “be themselves” so to speak. For a period of time and even at times today, the type of phone someone has can really impact the way someone looks at another.

 

Web 2.0? What forces played a role in its innovation?

This article considers Web 2.0 from both a technological and social standpoint. The cell phone has evolved tremendously from its original state as a huge junk of metal with a few buttons and a microphone. With the now sleek and lightweight versions which have picture and video capabilities that rival some of the best digital cameras, its no wonder why people have grown so attached to these little machines. Socially, cell phones have progressed considerably. What once was a convenient accessory is now an essential part of our society. The social media culture that we live in has made it nearly impossible to go without your cell-phone and still stay up to date on “what’s going on.” Web 2.0 has progressed in ways which its users have changed how and why the internet is used. The internet has become a vital part of cell phone use, which has prompted innovators to create these devices with lighting fast LTE capabilites, bigger screens with crisper displays, and photo sharing is easier than ever. The rapid growth of the internet and the phenomenon known as Web 2.0 has paved the way for how and why cell phones evolved the way that they have.
