Technology is defined by how people use scientific knowledge, and not only does scientific knowledge constantly change, but the way we use it is also constantly changing.

Emerging technologies refers to a new technology or technological innovations. The problem is that what can be considered new and how fast will it become obsolete? Our world is changing so fast, that current technology will be obsolete in just a few months, or maybe a year from now.

Because new technologies become old too fast, it is very difficult to identify them before they are no longer an innovation. Only those technologies that become mainstream can be clearly identified as emerging technologies, e.g. the iPhone was considered an emerging technology in 2007 and even though the first iPhone is obsolete now, it became mainstream technology.

Daniel owns 100 shares of abc corporation's common stock. abc uses the fair value option, and recent declines in the firm's credit rating have caused the value of the firm's outstanding bonds payable to drop by 10%. daniel feels this is good news, but he wants to know what you think about the situation. which of the following represents your best response? a : "this situation may be positive for you in that the change in abc's credit standing indicates that the value of the firm's assets is likely increasing. however, the drop in bond value may negate any positive effects on your bottom line, because it means your claim on the firm's assets is simultaneously decreasing." b : "actually, this is bad news all around. the drop in the value of abc's bonds payable means shareholders' claims on the firm's assets have decreased. moreover, abc's declining credit rating means that the firm's assets are probably also dropping in value, thus magnifying your losses even more." c : "on the surface, this seems like good news because it means your claim on the firm's assets has increased. however, the drop in creditworthiness may also indicate that abc's assets are declining in value, thus offsetting any gains associated with the drop in bonds payable." d : "you're right! this is good news because it means that abc's debtholders have a decreased claim on the firm's assets. as a result, the firm's existing shareholders"like you"have seen their claim on the firm's assets increase."
