... one-hundred countries worldwide. However, it all started with one network. In the early 1960's the Cold War was escalating and the United States Government was faced with a problem. How could the country communicate after a nuclear war? The Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency, ARPA, had a solution. They would create a non-centralized network that linked from city to city, and base to base. The network was designed to function when parts of it were destroyed. The network could not have a center because it would be a primary target for enemies. In 1969, ARPANET was created, named after its original Pentagon sponsor. There were four supercomputer stati ...

... so- called illusion, is a pain staking process during which artists must spend tremendous hours of agony to produce only seconds of animated film. Before an animator goes about creating an animation he or she must have the knowledge of several rules of animation, which animators around the world follow. The first rule of animation is that an animator must hold the understanding of the techniques used to produce single cells of animation. Second rule, and one of the most important ones is that, the animator must have great patience, so that his or her piece of artwork is not rushed, to prevent the animation from looking choppy and not as smooth as it should look. ...

... teller machine available at many banks, is operated through interlocking computer networks, and a person several thousand miles away from home can obtain quick cash from a machine at any hour of the day or night. A person with a degree in computer engineering has many options for a career. Many colleges offer electrical engineering curricula and computer engineering may be an offshoot. The University of Delaware describes a person with a degree in electrical engineering as a "generalist," with computer engineers as "specialists" who spend their time focusing on computer architecture and compiler design (University of Delaware / which_degree.html). Massachusetts ...

... arc lamp placed in the basement and directing the light around the home with the pipes. In 1888, Medical team, Roth and Reuss of Vienna used bent glass rods to illuminate the bodies' cavities. In 1895, french engineer Henry Saint-Rene designed a system of bent glass rods for guiding light images in an attempt at early television. In 1898, American David Smith applied for a patent on a bent glass rod device to be used as a surgical lamp. In the 1920's, Englishmen John Logie Baird and American Clarence W. Hansell patented the idea of using arrays of transparent rods to transmit images for television and facsimiles respectively. In 1930, German medical stu ...

... (Micro Processing Unit). A system involving concurrently operating processors can be very complex, since there need to be dedicated communication paths between the processors, as well as software to divide the tasks among them. A practical multiprocessing system should be as simple as possible and require a minimum overhead in terms of both hardware and software. There are various techniques of arranging a coprocessor alongside a microprocessor. One technique is to provide the coprocessor with an instruction interpreter and program counter. Each instruction fetched from memory is examined by both the MPU and the coprocessor. If it is a MPU instruction, the MPU ex ...

... Recently a new technology was introduced to the electronics world. This technology is known as . is a wireless networking standard for your personal area that provides license-free operation in Europe, Japan, and the United States. What makes so special is its ability to create a wireless link between devices equipped with this new technology. opens us up to a new level of data communications. By making it possible to communicate wirelessly to any device equipped with a chip. Mobile phones can communicate with lap top computers, digital daily planners can be linked to personal computers and have e-mail down loaded to them the moment it is sent a multitude of po ...

... Decency Act (CDA), which was designed to protect children by prohibiting “indecent” speech or images from being sent through cyberspace. One of the biggest groups that combated the censorship law is the CIEC (Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition). The CIEC found and posted on their website some obvious problems with the CDA. “This law would prohibit texts of classic fiction such as the Catcher in the Ryer, Ulysees, “Seven Dirty Words” by George Carlin, and other materials which, although offensive to some, enjoy the full protection of the First Amendment if published in a newspaper, magazine, or a book, or in the public square”(CIEC). Hot-Wired, a very popula ...

... select or design an operating system, which is the way the computer interprets files. During the design of the system, a system analyst must use both math models and other models to solve any problems they may come across (Wisconsin Career Information System 1633.3). Once they are finished, the team must write reports on how to solve any problems the consumer may have with the new system, which, in turn, involves the use of more math models. In order to be capable of completing the above tasks, a system analyst must continue education beyond high school. The post-secondary education required for a system analyst can be found only at a four- year institution. ...

... NLP would consist of message, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and intended meaning. (M. A. Fischer, 1987) Syntax is the grammatical structure. Semantics is the literal meaning. Pragmatics is world knowledge, knowledge of the context, and a model of the sender. When syntax, semantics, and pragmatics are applied, accurate Natural Language Processing will exist. Alan Turing predicted of NLP in 1950 (Daniel Crevier, 1994, page 9): "I believe that in about fifty years' time it will be possible to program computers .... to make them play the imitation game so well that an average interrogator will not have more than 70 per cent chance of making the right identification ...
