How Technology Makes The World A Better Place

                 Technology has changes the world and made our lives easier. We use computer to search for websites that will be helpful for school projects. We can download music on our Ipods and listen to them where ever we go. We can walk while talking on our cell phones and texts our friends. Every day people are making new technology to make our lives more easier. For example the Ipad can access the Internet and download books, magazines, newspapers and cooking recipes. You can watch YouTube, videos, and movies on the Ipad and you can even play games on it.

Other companies compete each other in the same way by trying to make the perfect product. If the prices are close I would select the product that I love the most. A market structure that requires that companies compete over something other than price is monopolistic competition.

The one monopoly or cartel that I want broken up is the oil company. The reason to why I want to break this monopoly is because their set the price of oil is high. If this monopoly was broken up then there would be competition in the oil industry. If there competition in the oil industry then the price for oil would be low. The change would benefit alot of people because it might encourage greater competiton and then the price for oil would be lower. People would buy more oil to heat their home in the winter.
