Technology Description (Pros & Cons) [NOTE: In this section, describe the technology topic scenario in detail. Dedicate at least one paragraph to both the pros and cons of the topic and the theories (and theorists) behind them. How did this tech come about and who was responsible (i.e. Who, What, Where, When, Why)?]

Technology Briefs. Each student will write 2 technology briefs, one focusing on a current technology and the second on an emerging technology. Each brief should be a critical analysis of the technology in which you highlight the potential benefits and challenges of adopting the technology. The target audience for the brief is a tech-literate senior executive, perhaps a chief information officer or chief technology officer of a medium-size business (500 – 1000 people). Each brief should not exceed 6 pages total (i.e., title page, 4 pages of content, references page). Cite your sources and list them on the References page. The document should be developed using APA Manual (2010, 6th ed.) style and format. You may opt to complete the briefs individually or in a partnership of 2. If 2 authors collaborate, list both authors in alphabetical order on the title page; and each author must upload an e-copy of the paper to the Assignment Module. If warranted, attachments with figures, tables, etc., may be included.
