History Of Telecommunications
.... telegraph which was that of the "Tamtam". This was a big, free hanging, circular metal plate. The keystroking, as it is called, of this plate would create a far-reaching audible tone. This is the drum telegraph and the start of telecommunication.
Fire Signaling
Fire signaling is another part of the telecommunication family. Also, the old Greece and the
Roman Empire already posses a good organized telegraph system. Fire signaling was sited from mountain to mountain or from tower to tower. Especially sensible was a torch telegraph, which was invented about 2500 years ago. The receiving and transmitting s .....

Advances In AI
.... is a source of fierce disagreement. It seems apparent that those who posses higher levels of intelligence are accorded a certain amount of privilege. Therefore where intelligence comes from is essential in determining the validity of endowing privilege on those who posses it. Is it the case that the very definition of intelligence is socially constructed in order to maintain the existing social inequalities? Is it the case that social inequalities are merely a reflection of the variance in intelligence? Do social inequalities reduce the oppressed ability to develop intelligence? Is intelligence merely a small factor contrib .....

Technological Advances In Agriculture Since The 1600's
.... Encarta 1999). Similarly, technological advances in the field of agriculture in more recent times have led not only to improved farming techniques and productivity, but have had the far-reaching effects of allowing man the freedom to concentrate his energies on industry and cultural advancement, rather than mere subsistence living.
To fully understand the advances made in and resulting from agriculture since the seventeenth century, it is necessary to examine the agricultural technology and degree of civilization existent during that period. Up to this point in European history, manorial feudalism was commonplace. This .....

The Future Of Security
.... Transactions can be denied for lack of funds, retina scans not matching, the person has missed a court date or is wanted by the government for questioning or committing a crime. If the transaction is denied, the reason is displayed on the cashier’s screen and security is immediately notified if the customer is wanted by the government or if the retina scans do not match.
Monthly bills will be debited from the account automatically, which will eliminate late payments and unpaid collections. If funds are not available to cover the entire amount of a bill the account will be drained and a flag will be set to extract the remainin .....

The Invention Of The Computer
.... dials. It was designed to help Pascal’s father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32).
In the early 1800’s, 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 punchcards. 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 device .....

The Motor And How It Works
.... touch the solenoids in just the right places to give solenoids 2 and 3 a magnetic field that attracts 1 and repels 4 and visa versa.
The end result is that as 2 or 3 approaches 1 or 4, it is given a magnetic field that is opposite to that of 1 or 4. Therefore, the two are attracted to each other. As the moving solenoids line up with the other solenoids, the metal things on top of 5 reverse the current. That means that 1 and 4 now repel the rotating solenoids. That causes the middle solenoids to spin farther around. Now it's just another cycle of what I stated above. The motor will continue to spin until the current is st .....

Against Federal Censorship Of The Internet
.... estimated of 40% of Internet material originates from foreign countries, where the US's Decency Act would not apply. Governments should not have the power to determine what sort of material is fit or unfit for individuals and their children to access on the Internet. Such power could become an oppressive form of censorship and could be used in an arbitrary manner by local judges and prosecutors to target minority viewpoints.
Federal Internet censorship is absurd and impossible due to the fact that the laws stated by our government, are too vague and have no affect on foreign "indecent" material. Pornography and sexually explic .....

The Arrival Of The Internet
.... computer and get the information to its destination. It's much like a spider web. You can cut many of the strands and it still hold together. This is how the phrase "World Wide Web" came into existence. The Internet has grown and improved over the years; from a cold war project, to a medium for exchanging ideas and information worldwide.
As a cold War project, the Internet was developed to provide reliable communication during a nuclear attack. The Internet doesn't have a failure point.(Lloyd, 11) Even if a number of computers were destroyed, they would be bypassed, ensuring people the means to transport information to e .....

Artificial Intelligence

In medicine, programs have been developed that analyze the disease symptoms, medical history, and laboratory test results of a patient, and then suggest a diagnosis to the physician. The diagnostic program is an example of so-called expert systems—programs designed to perform tasks in specialized areas as a human would. Expert systems take comput .....

Types Of Communication Systems
1. A data communication system involves the use of computers in processing information. These systems are a part of any technical communication process. Data communication systems have evolved from the abacus(3000 B.C.) To the high-tech computer chips of today. The only thing similar about the two things is what they are used for; proce .....

Freedom Of Speech & Censorship On The Internet
.... one newsgroup is the rec.humor list, which is a collection of jokes submitted to subscribers. There are straightforwardly rude jokes but others are politically incorrect, focusing on sexual stereotypes, mothers-in-law, women and so on. It has been suggested (Interpersonal Computing and Technology, 1994) that discretionary warning labels could be attached to potentially offensive material. With warning labels like those on records this may serve to whet appetites. Warning labels involve some sort of judging and then the question is raised as to who shall be the judge. The Internet is world-wide so would the First Amendment apply in .....
