The Evolution Of Apple - January 1976 To May 1995
.... 1977 the Apple II is available to the general public. Fully assembled
and pretested, it includes 4K of standard memory, and comes equipped with
two game paddles and a demo cassette. The price is $1,298. Customers use
their own TV set as a monitor and store programs on audio cassette
recorders. Compare this price with computers today. The price about the
same, but the computer has changed tremendously.
In 1979 Apple II+ is introduced, available with 48K of memory and a new
auto-start ROM for easier startup and screen editing for $1,195. Apple II
Pascal is also released.
In 1980 Apple FORTRAN introduced and proves to be a cataly .....

Classification Analysis
.... is just that they
never realize it is also a form of output.
As opposed to 'output', 'input' consists of components that take in
information from the users themselves so that the computer will know the
tasks it is supposed to perform and accomplish. The keyboard is classified
as a form of input because this is where the users enter commands and text.
There are many other forms of input as well. Nonetheless, many people just
don't realize them, or are too lazy to classify them. For instance, the
mouse belongs to input, since it provides a floating pointer on the screen
so that the users can access commands faster and easi .....

The Recent Negative Effect Of Technology On Society
.... ever before. All of these technological
advances sound great, however, there is a negative effect to all this technology.
Technology can serve to actually harm humans rather then help them. Competition
between companies or even cities can sometimes make lives for humans even worse.
Take for example when a city builds better and more roads to attract tourists.
This actually creates more traffic, not less. Technology also changes our sense
of common purpose. New inventions such as the personal computer and machines
can change our lifestyles. Even things we take for granted such as the
automobile have negative effects on technol .....

Computer Crime In The 90's

and they get entangled in the illegal use of their machines without
realizing the full import of what they are doing" , I have a hard time
believing that so lets see what a "hacker" has to say about what he does
"Just as they were enthraled with their pursuit of information, so are we.
The thrill of the hack is not in breaking the law, it's in the pursuit and
capture of knowledge." , as you can see the "hacker" doesn't go out to do
destroy things although some do. It's in the pursuit of knowledge. Of
course this is still against the law. But where did all o .....

History Of The Computer Industry In America
.... dials. It was designed to help Pascal's
father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32).
In the early 1800Os, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage
designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could
store up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Built in to his machine were operations
that included everything a modern general-purpose computer would need. It
was programmed by--and stored data on--cards with holes punched in them,
appropriately called "punch cards". His inventions were failures for the
most part because of the lack of precision machining techniques used at
the time and the lack of demand for such a .....

The Computer Underground.

attempts to show the differences between the views as well as attempt to
correct misunderstandings that may have been propagated by misinformed
sources. The differences between the parties of the CU such as,
"hackers," "crackers," "phreaks," "pirates," and virus writers have rarely
been recognized and some deny that there are differences thus this paper
attempts to give a somewhat clearer view and define exactly what each
party is and does as well as how they relate to one another.
Every individual in the CU has a different level of sophistication

A Computerized World

computer. This computer works with the data and displays them on the
electronic spectacles. This is a technique which use three-dimentional
views, therefore the scenery seems incredibly realistic. If you want to be
a boxer, simply change the scenery on the main computer, and you are in the
ring.
Today, many kids have got video games. You could say these games are the
present’s answer to ludo and monopoly. In a way, it is a great advantage
that the kids are being presented to computors at an early age, because
they will definitely have to use them later, when they start to work. In
the future there will be few occupations .....

Laws Must Be Passed To Address The Increase In The Number And Types Of Computer Crimes
.... individuals, but that is not the case."(Sharp, 18:3) It is
believed that the computer criminal "often marches to the same drum as the
potential victim but follows and unanticipated path."(Blumenthal, 1:2)
There is no actual profile of a computer criminal because they range from
young teens to elders, from black to white, from short to tall.
Definitions of computer crime has changed over the years as the users and
misusers of computers have expanded into new areas. "When computers were
first introduced into businesses, computer crime was defined simply as a
form of white-collar crime committed inside a computer system."(2600:Su .....

Netspeak: An Analysis Of Internet Jargon
.... our
newspapers and on television. If you're like most Americans, you're feeling
bombarded by Netspeak. Television advertisers, newspapers, and
international businesses have jumped on the "Information Superhighway"
bandwagon, making the Net more accessible to large numbers of not-entirely-
technically-oriented people. As a result, technological vocabulary is
entering into non-technological communication. For example, even the
archaic UNIX command "grep," (an acronym meaning Get REpeated Pattern) is
becoming more widely accepted as a synonym of "search" in everyday
communication.
The argument rages as to whether Netspeak is merely .....

Nonetheless, the most dangerous thief are not those who work with
computer every day, but youthful amateurs who experiment at night --- the

The term "hacker "may have originated at M.I.T. as students'
jargon for classmates who labored nights in the computer lab. In the
beginning, hackers are not so dangerous at all. They just stole computer
time from the university. However, in the early 1980s, hackers became a
group of criminals who steal information from other peoples' computer.
For preventing the hackers and other criminals, people need to
