Computers And The Disabled
.... Act was passed the disabled were normally
passed over for jobs because of their handicap, now however employers can be
assured that people with disabilities can work in the work place just like
people without disabilities. The self esteem disabled individuals have gained
from the experience to work and be self supporting, is immeasurable.
Computerized wheelchairs have given disabled people a whole new perception
on life. It has given them the mobility to go just about anywhere they want to
go. It has given them the ability to explore an unknown world, and progress
intellectually as well as spiritually. Computerized vans allow .....

Computers And Society
.... done through the use of punched
cards. Even though Babbage worked on the analytical engine for nearly 40 years,
he never actually made a working machine.
In 1889 Herman Hollerith, an American inventor, patented a calculating
machine that counted, collated, and sorted information stored on punched cards.
His machine was first used to help sort statistical information for the 1890
United States census. In 1896 Hollerith founded the Tabulating Machine Company
to produce similar machines. In 1924, the company changed its name to
International Business Machines Corporation. IBM made punch-card office
machinery that dominated busines .....

An important program has aided companies all over the world. Computer-
aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) is the integration of
two technologies. It has often been called the new industrial revolution. In
CAD, engineers and designers use specialized computer software to create models
that represent characteristics of objects. These models are analyzed by computer
and redesigned as necessary. This allows companies needed flexibility in
studying different and daring designs without the high costs of building and
testing actual models, saving millions of dollars. .....

information on AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, birth control,
breast cancer, certain forms of artwork, and many other things that should
never be considered "obscene." However Internet censorship laws could
potentially make it illegal to publish things like this on the Internet,
and in being so vague, there is plenty of room for abuse of laws like these.
Politicians could misuse these laws to ban things that they personally
consider immoral or simply don't like even if they aren't considered
"offensive to minors" by most people, abridging our right .....

Computer Viruses

<3>HOW DOES A VIRUS SPREAD:
A computer virus can only be put into your system either by
yourself or someone else. One way in which a virus can be
put into your computer is via a Trojan Horse.
-TROJAN HORSE IS USUALLY CONTAMINATED IN DISKS WHICH ARE
PARTICULARY PIRATED COPIES OF SOFTWARE. IT IS SIMPLY A
DAMAGING PROGRAM DISGUISED AS AN INNOCENT ONE. MANY
VIRUSES MAYBE HIDDEN IN IT, BUT T.H. THEMSELVES DO NOT
HAVE THE ABILITY TO REPLICATE.
Viruses also can be spread through a Wide Area network

while. Not all cells with which the virus contact are infected. Viruses can
mutate and thus cannot clearly be diagnosed. Infected cells aren't infected more
than once by the same cell.

Computer Programming

having to learn to program using the underlying programming language, except in
the case of the simplest applications. The time gained from using a RAD tool
can be immense, however: Programmers using IBM's VisualAge report the ability
to create up to 80 percent of an application visually, with the last 20 percent
consisting of specialized functions, which means by using and IBM program it is
much easier because most of the program is graphics which is just point and
click to do, and the rest is code, which really isn't much.
Anyone who is willing to invest a little time and effort can now write

the users of unlawful copies suffer from their own illegal actions: they receive

The White Paper says that while virtually every software publisher
expresses concern about their software from unauthorized duplication, over time,
many have simply accepted the so-called "fact" that such duplication is
unavoidable. This has created an atmosphere in which software piracy is commonly

II. THE TECHNOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
A. The Objectives of Computer Security
The principal objective of computer security is to protect and assure
the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of automated information
systems and the data they contain. Each of these terms has a precise meaning
which is grounded in basic technical ideas about the flow of information in
automated information systems.
B. Basic Concepts
There is a broad, top-level consensus regarding the meaning of most
