Conclusion
 45

Therefore I conclude modern technology has made our society make it to the point of

ignorance to the fact that there might be a day when our technology does not work and they

cannot, at the moment, live without it.  We have grown to rely on our technology to make our

lives easier.  If our technology were to go away, our lives would be really tough for a while until

everyone learned to live without it.  My solution is that we begin that transition sooner rather

than later.  If you have basic map-reading skills, you can look at a road map and get to your

destination.

The technology which surrounds almost everyone in today's modern society, affects both

work and free time activities. Technology contains information that many would rather it did not

have. And thus, it influences minds in good and bad ways, and it allows people to share

information which they would otherwise not be able to attain in other ways. Even if a person

does not own a computer or have credit cards, there is information on a computer somewhere

about everyone and everything he/she needs. The modern technology which is just now

beginning to be manipulated and harnessed is affecting the minds of small children and

adolescents in ways that could be harmful. As a result, it is affecting our immediate future. It also

gives another form of communication and exchange of information which was not available

before, information that is both good and bad. Moreover, Technology is one of the principal

driving forces of the future; it is transforming our lives and shaping our future at rates

unprecedented in history, with profound implications which we can't even begin to see or

understand.
 46

Recommendation

I highly recommend to all the modern technology users:

1. Make sure to have an expert on your staff. Put someone in charge of the project and develop a

master plan. This person should understand the new technology as well as the news business and

be willing to orchestrate change. Goals and responsibilities must be set for the upcoming change.

Teamwork between departments is a must to integrate new technology.

Set goals when equipment will be integrated and in use. Use the rule of 4¹s when integrating any

new equipment. Plan for a specific target date but don¹t be surprised when the date isn¹t met and

it takes 4 times as long and is 4 times as much trouble as you had estimated.

2. I get many phone calls from digital photography users looking for answers that are in the

manual. Before setting up the equipment, manuals need to be studied. I usually make a copy of

the manual so I can highlight key points while I¹m reading it. This makes it easier for others to

get the key points.

3. Don¹t expect the equipment to work the first time Plug and play isn¹t likely to happen with

newsroom technology. Just because the vendor tells you the equipment works in a certain way

doesn¹t mean it can be integrated into your operation the same way. It is always best to visit

another newspaper using the same type of equipment in a deadline type situation.

4. One of the biggest pains in integrating new equipment is calibrating the device to your

newspaper¹s specifications. This takes time and energy to track the pixels through to output.

There are so many variables that some users don¹t bother to calibrate the entire system. Then

they wonder why their reproduction is poor.

 47

5. Training a newspaper staff to use new technology is stressful for all involved. Employees are

leaving a comfortable, known way of operating to try a new unknown way. Anything you can do

to help the staff through easy to read system updates, manuals or suggestions will be extremely

fruitful. A technology bulletin board located in the photography department could help them in

this transition.

6. This is usually best after the equipment has been tested, proved reliable and you know how it

will be used in the daily operation. A sure way to fail is testing at the same time the device is

being used on a daily basis. Or in the case of digital cameras, give everyone new camera without

any training and expect everything to go smoothly. Train a group of superusers to help in the

training. I prefer to train employees that will be in major control points of the worklfow. With

digital photography, this control point is the picture desk and Picture Editors. Training users in

small groups (2 to 3) how to simple tasks on the new systems. Add operating sophistication after

employees have a grasp of how the equipment works. Do not overload them with details that

they don¹t need to know at the present time. After all the employees are trained and the

equipment is in deadline use for a period of time, be sure to update job descriptions to reflect the

changes. Training employees on new technology is an ongoing situation. It doesn¹t cease after

the initial training classes.
