Role of Technology

Question: As our technology continues to change so rapidly, do our expectations change? Do we expect more now? What pressure does this, in turn, place on those developing technological solutions? Will this eventually affect such things as testing periods (for new technologies) and patent life? Answer: The changes in technology have made the daily life easier. As such, this has increased the expectations of the common public. The expectations change with the innovation in technology. This shall result in the increase in the expectations of consumers. Mom (2012) mentioned that this has an enormous pressure on professionals who are developing technological solutions. These professionals shall have to deal with the pressure of meeting the expectations of the client. However, such pressure shall not likely to affect testing period of new technologies as well as the patent life (Shanmugam et al. 2014).Such manufacturing processes would be executed as per the organizational guidelines to produce superior products for the consumers.
