.... pathway in the way of logic, reflexes and the ability to make quick and concrete decisions [Lipcomb, 66]. The next step requires them to think more seriously about the machines. Secondary students learn the first steps in computer programming by creating simple programs. Here, the assistance of useful software is necessary. The computer software has many applications in the real world and is found virtually everywhere. The new generation of very fast computers introduces us to a new type of software. Multimedia is a of computer program that not only delivers written data for the user, but also provides visual support .....

.... any other problem in modern history for several reasons. William Adams points out some of the most important ones. "Time is running out- the Year 2000 is inevitable! The problem will occur simultaneously worldwide, time zones withstanding. It affects all languages and platforms, hardware & software. The demand for solutions will exceed the supply. Survivors will survive big, losers will lose big. There is no 'silver bullet' that is going to fix things" (Adams 2). "It is too big and too overwhelming even for [Bill Gates and] Microsoft" (Widder 3). Separate, any one of these points makes Y2K, a common abbreviation for the year 2000 .....

.... 21 Data Service(EIA-608) specification, these chips decode EDS (Extended Data Services)program ratings, compare these ratings to viewer standards, and can be programmed to take a variety of actions, including complete blanking of programs." Is one definition of the V-chip from Al Marquis of Zilog Technology. The FCC or Capitol Hill has not set any standards for V-chip technology; this has allowed many different companies to construct chips that are similar yet not exact or possibly not compatible. Each chip has advantages and disadvantages for the rating's system, soon to be developed. For example, some units use onscreen program .....

.... many of the things they can do on their PC regardless of where they are or what device they are using -- whether it's a palm-size computer, a Web-enabled cell phone, an Auto PC or a smart television like WebTV. A combination of sophisticated software, powerful microprocessors, wireless technology and high-bandwidth connectivity is starting to make that a reality. For most people at home and at work, the PC will remain the primary computing tool; you'll still want a big screen and a keyboard to balance your investment portfolio, write a letter to Aunt Agnes, view complex Web pages, and you'll need plenty of local processing power f .....

.... this entirely new family of aircraft has recently been announced to the public but the United States Department of Defence. These aircraft are virtually undetectable to radar, these new aircraft are the first examples of '' law observable, or stealth technology. Because radar in the primary means by wich aircraft are detected and tracked, it has become very important to the military service to make aircraft as invisible to radar as possible. By building aircraft in certain ways or out or out of certain materials like exotic plastics, it is possible to control the direction or deduce the amount of radar energy they reflect. This pr .....

.... L. Mishel, Research Director of Welfare Reform Network. In view of these facts, 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 d .....

.... essential to give a brief history on the internet. 3.The U.S. government is now trying to pass bills to prevent misuse of the Net. II. In order to understand the need for the ever-growing body of legislation, it is important to explore the controversy, and the current problems involved with the Net as it exists must be introduced. 1. The problem that concerns most people is offensive materials such as pornography. 2. Another crucial internet crime is the stealing of credit card numbers. III. One reaction to this inapplicability has been the "Censor the Net" approach (the censorship bill), we are now to compare its advantages .....

.... An 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 expli .....

.... problem in our society is violence such as riots and fights. These things can be controlled with sticky foam, water cannons, or rubber bullets. The main reason to choose tasers and new-age weapons over guns, is the fact that they are non-lethal. Every year about 500 police officers are killed by guns. This kind of death doesn't need to happen. In 1983, 10,895 people were killed by firearms. In 1973 over 100 innocent children were killed by guns, and every year that number increases. So, if you would like these numbers to drastically decrease, we must choose smarter, and non- lethal weapons. One other important reason to cho .....
