The hegemonic behavior of Rideshare technology companies

                              The hegemonic behavior of Rideshare technology companies Economic globalization and technology companies' focus on profit is paving the way for poverty and decline in the livelihoods of millions around the world. The concentration of power and wealth in these few companies, as well as their profit-oriented expansion, has a significant impact on many small businesses.

Considering different user groups is critical to a product's success or failure .  That's why it's important to integrate user stories and idea types into developmen...

Benefit of Technology and how it is changing societies

From sending  gifts  to attending  meetings  from my  computer, sitting half the world away made my life easier.  Our way of communication, expressing our values and stories both individually and as a society changed with technology. Technology helped and changed society in all aspects. One of the area technologies changed is learning. The use of radio transmitters in 1937 to reach students in the outbreak of polio and internet learning at the time of covid-19 lockdown are two ...
