How does technology interact with other technologies?

Answer 1

The technology can be articulated as the procedure of capitalization of resources, production, marketing and Propaganda. The other technologies are the individual items or industries of multi categories which are put under the disposition of mankind. The technologies are dependent upon the global technology in a pattern how it proceeds.

Some features of the modern global technology:

• Scientifically trained and highly qualified professionals technologists and the whole team of personnel.
• Highly sophisticated software invention and application for the accuracy and rapidity.
• Application of machines, devices and hardware where less man power is necessary.
• The wide spread advertisement and application of advertisements by pay to click program which has caused huge profit and wide global marketing.
• The scientific proceeding of consultancy information planning and execution with efficiently qualified personnel

This technology will interact to render the production rapid and machine made, generating huge marketing through the modern techniques of advertisement and making available the huge capital money and other resources. When the technology makes progress, the individual technologies apply the software and the hardware and thanks to the progress of the technology, the individual technologies gain huge profit in quality and in making huge profit by the application of the technology. When the technologies make available the resources of the technology , the technology finds marketing and it makes further progress. So the progress of the technology is in proportion to the application made by the individual technologies. If the demand for the production of the technology falls then the whole society gets affected. So it has to invent further production so that the technologies set demand for its marketing.

The best thing about technology is the flexibilities it offer but within a set of rules and following a defined protocol. An important question to answer this question is - with which technology you want which other technology to interact?

Say for example if you have a e-commerce website and wish your website to accept online payments then there are APIs of payment gateways that allow the scripts of your website to communicate & interact with the secured pages of the gateway to process online payments.

Another example, you are using QuickBooks to keep track of your accounts and customers, now if you want your website to have a feature for your Accountants to login to the website and get the access to this accounts data then you can accomplish by using the integration SDK & XML support provided by QB to move the data from your local machine (of course internet connectivity is required) to the database of your website to give your accounts these access.

Yet another example, your business model is giving points to your customers on every purchase they are making using the cards you have issued them. This swiping of cards can be done using POS machines, which dump the records on a server and then you can connect to these server via FTP to get the data in raw form or may write routines to read this raw data and save it a database that can be used to generated easy to read and informative formats.

In all the three examples I have given above there is one common things and i.e. wherever two technologies are interacting with each other there exists an interface between them which can be API or SDK or self-written routines…. So once I know which technology you want to interact with other then I will be able to better comment on what protocol you may use to accomplish the desired objective.
