Questions Of Ethics In Computer Systems And Their Future
.... medium such as the phone system nothing would ever come
it. The bigger question here is how much government do people want in there
lives? The Internet was brought into the picture for the public as the next
great technology of this century. It is without a doubt as big if not bigger
than any other public means of communication that has come before it. With that
in mind I think the government is trying to extract it's pound of flesh for what
they believe is missed revenue dollars that could be made in the form of tax
regulations.

anonymously or under assumed nam .....

Radar: A Silent Eye In The Sky
.... source of the echo. If you count
the number of seconds from when the sound was made to when the sound was heard,
you can figure out the distance the sound had to travel. The formula is:
(S/2) X 1100 = D (Half of the total time times 1100 feet
per second equals the distance from the origin to the reflection point)
Of course, radar is a much more complicated system than just somebody
shouting and listening for the echo. In fact, modern radar listens not only for
an echo, but where the echo comes from, what direction the object is moving, its
speed, and its distance. There are two types of modern radar: continuous wave

Regulating The Internet: Who's In Charge
.... is surrounded by questions of its usage.
The intemet was named the global village by McLuhan and Fiore in 1968, but
recently the internet has been more properly renamed the global metropolis.
Robert Fortner defines the internet as a place where people from all different
cultures and backgrounds come together to share ideas and information.
"Communication in a metropolis also reflects the ethnic, racial, and sexual
inequalities that exist generally in the society. '' (Fortner, p25)
When a person enters into a global metropolis to engage in communication
they do not know who they will interact with nor do they know what .....

Response To AOL Controversy
.... network or web-
crawler. These sites are no harder to use and they provide lots of helpful
menus and information.
In Wood's article, he states that he lives in Chicago, and AOL has
several different access numbers to try if one is busy. He writes that often
when he has tried to log on using all of the available numbers, and has still
been unsuccessful. This is a problem for him because he is dependent on AOL to
"do the daily grind of (his) job as a reporter and PM managing editor." If I
was not satisfied with the performance of my internet provider, which happens to
be sprintlink, I would not complain to the company. I .....

Review Of On-line Publications

technology section which caters to the on-line user. The post also utilizes the
use of java script to make it seem more like an interactive medium.
Of the papers available from the continent of India the Times of India
is the one of the finest. It features an archive that is quite extensive, a
metropolis section which features two cities a day, an easily accessible reprint
section for syndication of articles and a career opportunities in India section
that is aimed at the overseas applicant. It has some draw backs though, the
world section although .....

Robotics
.... They rarely take human form, they perform only a limited
number of set tasks, and they do not have minds of their own. In fact, it is
often hard to distinguish between devices called robots and other modern
automated systems.
Although the term robot did not come into use until the 20th century,
the idea of mechanical beings is much older. Ancient myths and tales talked
about walking statues and other marvels in human and animal form. Such objects
were products of the imagination and nothing more, but some of the mechanized
figures also mentioned in early writings could well have been made. Such
figures, called automatons, h .....

Save The Internet
.... and violence are correlated. It trivializes the
human beauty and converts it into commercialized slime (Beahm 295). Moreover,
the consumption of pornography can lead to a detrimental addiction and the
consumer can become a slave to it (Beahm 297). In short, pornography is a very
addictive drug; which has an equal or more potency to hard-core drugs like
heroin and cocaine. Can you imagine a ten year-old innocently surfing the
Internet and suddenly bumps into a pornographic site depicting explicit images
of naked women and becoming addicted to it? The damage is long-term and when the
time comes, we will have a nation of perverts. Ga .....

Society And The Role That Computers Play In USA
.... I wonder if these trends are good or bad for society. “
The danger of the information age is that while in the short run it may be
cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long run it is potentially
self-destructive because there will not be enough purchasing power to grow the
economy,” M. B. Zuckerman. My feeling is that the trend from unskilled labor to
highly technical, skilled labor is a good one! But, political action must be
taken to ensure that this societal evolution is beneficial to all of us. “Back
in 1970, a high school diploma could still be a ticket to the middle income
bracket, a nice car in the dr .....

of software titles have been put out there , and the government hasn't protected
a fucking thing from happening . What a joke , how can we let such morons run
this nation . The law in the USA states that a person may who buys the software
may (I) copy it to a single computer and (II) make a copy for “archival purposes”
. This also holds true in canada with the exception of the user only being able
to make a backup copy instead of the USA law which is allowed for both archival
and backup . In actuality , the government can not bab .....

more seriously about the machines. Secondary students learn the first steps in

world and is found virtually everywhere.
The new generation of very fast computers introduces us to a new type
