TECHNICAL OLIGARCHIES 1 Technical Oligarchies in-relation to US Government Roles September 16, 2018 Long-term implications of the increasing dependence on technical oligarchies (Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) on society, the economy or Christianity. The government’s concern with technical oligarchy is their contributions to material economy. Even with low material economy, the technical oligarchy is backed by approximately

Today, tech employees likely keep companies to take a stand against government conflicts values. Comment by Albert Ball: Missing modifier after to. Comment by Albert Ball: You may want to rethink this sentence. The 70% also support the rest of the economy. It may be better to say that 30% is not supporting the technical oligarchy. Comment by Albert Ball: This sentence is not clear. It is also not supported by a reference. The tech companies have dealt with several pushbacks because of the relationship between them and the government. For example, the government’s concern regarding Google suggests that the company’s artificial intelligence would be putting too much pressure on the state of safety within the nation. The technical oligarchies are considered as living bubble or leaving in their own world with little material economy (Keynes, 2018). The low material economy means that the government is getting low revenue regarding taxation even though the technical companies demonstrate high value. Comment by Albert Ball: What concern are you referring to? Comment by Albert Ball: Missing modifier after as Another focus for the government concerning technical oligarchy is concentration of too much wealth among few individuals as compared to the material economy, which reflects wide spread income among many citizens. However, Technical Oligarchies argue that differences in percentage of activities collectively account for despite wealth where the taxman creates interest for the same (Elfring, & Hulsink, 2003). The oligarchies develop information networks for their earning through creating products for high level consumption as compared to providing direct employment for large number of employees (Elfring, & Hulsink, 2003). These oligarchies have little interest in expanding the white-collar jobs within the nation. Technical oligarchy allows wealth creation particularly

- 5. Week 2 Key issues The key issues with the topic, ‘Long-term implications of the increasing dependence on technical oligarchies (Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) on society, the economy or Christianity’ are cyber attacks, accessibility, and scam (Cheung, 2016). Today with technical oligarchies it is hard to know what is genuine and what is not, as the technology advances the more many issues arises. Technical oligarchies are helpful to the community, but they also have key issues which for some time now have not been settled. One, Cyber attacks have affected a lot, the information owners, unlike before today once one person accesses the information the information can be disclosed to many more people without the owner permission (Fong, 2015). Today organizations have a fear of their information, and they are now forced on making regular backups and regular security changes. Cyber attacks are affecting both individuals and organizations. Second, accessibility, technical oligarchies even though they have helped many people some people are not able to access the internet hence they have not benefited. The only people who can access the technical oligarchies are those who are undercover and also at the same time to obtain them one need to have a smartphone, laptop or a computer. Lastly, scam, the scam is a big issue with technical oligarchies because today it is hard to know which information is real and which is not. Today people do come up with any information, and they make it look real, this has brought more con-people on social media (Edelson, 2016). Many have lost a lot of money trying to do business online due to scam information. Due to wrong and false information Christians are now developing a negative attitude towards the technical

Technical oligarchy (Google) Student’s Name Institution Date Week 1 Long-term implications of the increasing dependence on technical oligarchies (Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.) on society, the economy or Christianity Oligarchies mean a small group of people who take control of an organization. For some time now the technical oligarchies can be said to be the world governing organizations because they have become a necessity for communication and research to the people (Winter, 2014). Today most people do visit the technical oligarchies at least every day, and for some, they are ever on technical oligarchies regularly either for communicating or for information access. Therefore, this paper talks about the technical oligarchies as those organizations that are used in the world today to govern communication and research. I chose this topic because there has been an increasing dependence on technical oligarchies for quite some time now, and many people are now benefiting, thus developed an interest to know more. Today technical oligarchies are widely used for communication and research (Michel, 2016). Socially technical
- 8. oligarchies have settled the need for communication. Today people can communicate worldwide with the help of these technical oligarchies hence made me choose the topic to have a deep understanding of it and know its importance. Selecting this topic will help me more to understand the technical oligarchies more through the weekly assignments. I also chose this topic because I want to get a deep understanding of how the technical oligarchies work and how they will or have helped the country and the world at large socially and economically. I chose this topic to help me understand how Christians take this means of communication since I have heard many saying that with technical oligarchies a lot of lies are involved. Lastly, I selected this topic because I would like to know the issues and benefits that come with technical oligarchies and with these assignments I believe I will understand and be able to identify the problems and benefits.
