Technological processes will be applied to the old industrial tasks. First, the new technology follows the line of least resistance; second, the technology is used to improve previous technologies; and third, new directions or uses are discovered that grow our of technology itself.

The first stage of technological innovation applies in ways that do not threaten people - reducing the chance that the technology will be abruptly rejected. The way society handled the introduction of microprocessors is a classic example of this first stage. Now, young people entering the labor force have some form of information device - from calculators to computer games to high- tech gadgets and drives.

A voltage regulator is used to control and maintain a continual but constant amount of voltage flowing in any electrical circuit or device. In short these regulator keep the right amount of power or electricity going to the right places at all times. Without them electrical devices would not work properly.

There are several different kinds of voltage regulators out there and they all do the same thing by controlling that constant continual flow of power but they all do it in different ways and for different reasons.
