The Lakeside Technology Center at 350 W. Cermak Rd. was built as the R.R Donnelley Printing Plant (sometimes known as the Calumet Plant or the Lakeside Plant) was built between 1912 and 1929 to house the operations of R.R. Donnelley printing company. The building was designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw to be a fireproof design of poured reinforced concrete columns and an open-shell concrete floor. In 1993, the plant was closed after the discontinuation by Sears, Roebuck and Co. of its mail-order catalog, which had been the last major account printed there. The building was retrofitted in 1999 and is owned by Digital Realty Trust
The 1.1 million square foot multi-tenant data center hub is one of the world’s largest carrier hotels and the nerve center for Chicago’s commodity markets, housing data centers for financial firms. The industrial strength infrastructure includes four fiber vaults and three electric power feeds, which provide the building with more than 100 megawatts of power. The Center is currently the second-largest power customer for Commonwealth Edison, trailing only O’Hare International Airport.
The 60-story Comcast Technology Center is the new tallest building in Philadelphia. It is scheduled to open in 2018.
This striking picture of the New Technology Telescope (NTT) was taken just after sunset at ESO's La Silla Observatory, located in the Norte Chico in outskirts of the Chilean Atacama Desert. The Moon has already begun its journey across the evening sky, and is shining brightly overhead. The Sun dips below the horizon to the left of the frame, soaking the clouds in a rich orange colour.
The warm glow of the last rays of sunshine are caught by the reflective surface of the NTT walls. The purpose of this metallic dome is to stop the telescope’s enclosure from heating up during the day. This would affect the telescope’s observations, as rising warm air and turbulence blur images and worsen the astronomical seeing.
It is not just the telescope's enclosure that is designed to reduce heat accumulation during the day; the concrete platforms and parking spaces around the site are all painted white to increase the amount of light reflected from their surface.

things will never be the same again since technology took over our lives. it has practically entered almost every aspect of everything we do. imagine a friend of mine recently bought a tennis racquet that can sense and feed information about a player's style of hitting the ball and playing the game. individually and subjectively, depending on our attitude towards technology, only time will tell whether we are happier with it. obviously one thing is certain, these kids are!
Punching colors and fixing problems with bleeding-edge technology, and saving photos that were previously unusable.
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology,
Why don't you sit down on top of me
Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology
I need you right in front-- of me

Gracias por ayudarme con la canción en esta foto! :D
I downloaded a white noise app to help soothe baby, and accidentally discovered that it included a baby rattle app too. She loved the bouncing balls and rattle sounds, but kept trying to chew on my brand new HTC smartphone :)
The second illustration from “Faces of the unreal II - Earth” series.
mechanical face, rusty and cold that controls us and dominates, while we tolerate it in the current era.
This was actually quite a hard image to achieve that required a fair bit of thought and planning. Time consuming shoot but I feel it was time well spent.
A rather unusual subject for a stereoview, the interior of an old radio, 1920s.

I have a little bit of a love and hate relationship with technology. On the one side I am so thankful what is possible today. We can be in contact with my family overseas in ways that weren't possible years ago. Then again technology is everywhere, it can be addicting and suck the life out of you. Im happy I can teach them the responsibilities that come with all of it.

Lost my hard drive with every picture ever taken on it. Out of my frustration for that, this concept was born. We're too tangled in technology
Back in April 1987 I went on a bus hunting adventure which included a visit to Lincoln where I photographed Lincolnshire Technology Leyland National MCN836L. This bus started life with Northern General as a dual-doored bus in 1973. In 1980 it was converted to single-door layout then passed to Lincolnshire as their 2798. It was withdrawn at the end of 1985 and then converted into a windowless technology bus complete with reinstated centre door!

Something isn' working and the boys are baffled.
"Have you tried switching it off and on again?" suggests TK935, helpfully.
Just as well TK127's reply was muffled under the console.

State of the art technology that our 3G army now uses. Versatile and remote controlled. Able to fire (i believe it utilises 5.56mm rounds) via user's control and climb staircases.

www.SchoolTechnology.org Elementary student getting ready to do a podcast gives the "thumbs up" as the sound tech to let the host know the show is ready to start.
when my parents were kids, television was "cool technology", today it is an appliance.
computers are "cool technology" to me but merely appliances to my kids.
this is my photofriday entry for the technology challenge.
