... the information super highway coined by their campaign, would only further catapult the development of the Internet. As this new technology momentum grew it made the world accessible to everyone and certain group's willingness to take advantage of the Internet. This would lead to need for regulation in what is acceptable content on the Internet, and how the first amendment has blocked many policy attempts trying to regulate the technology. We can point to the fact that emergence of any new technology is always the contribution of several intertwined social factors over a period of many years. The Internet as we know it today is no exception. We can show that ...

... most importantly, standardization has led the qwerty keyboards to firmly hold the position as the keyboard. There are major differences between the two types of keyboard users; the regular users and the other typists. The regular users are people who uses the keyboard for word processing, e-mailing, and internet; there is not much of a need for them to type extremely fast. They do not type mechanically but rather based on their thought, and thinking takes time. In other words, faster keyboards are irrelevant for them because they are not continuously typing. They need to think what they are going to write, one sentence one after another. On the other hand, the ...

... control of company operations. In today's extremely competitive business environment businesses are searching for ways to improve profitability and to maintain their position in the marketplace. As competition becomes more intense the formula for success becomes more difficult. Two particular things have greatly aided companies in their quests to accomplish these goals. They are the innovative software products of CAD/CAM and, last but not least, the World Wide Web. 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 ...

... is referred to as the domain name , and a number ( 198.137.240.100 ) , which is generally referred to as the IP address or IP number. Most likely, the InterNIC will assign you a Class C address, which consists of 255 unique IP numbers for you to assign to your employees. If you need more than 255 IP address, you can apply for a Class B address, which will give you over 65,000 unique IP addresses. Class A addresses are for very large companies. Both Class A and Class B addresses are very hard, if not impossible, to get. Usually, companies will get multiple Class C addresses. Internet address The address can be split into a network number (or netw ...

... misconceptions, as to the definition, of what a hacker truly is, in all my research this is the best definition I've found: Pretend your walking down the street, the same street you have always walked down. One day, you see a big wooden or metal box with wires coming out of it sitting on the sidewalk where there had been none. Many people won't even notice. Others might say, "Oh, a box on the street.". A few might wonder what it does and then move on. The hacker, the true hacker, will see the box, stop, examine it, wonder about it, and spend mental time trying to figure it out. Given the proper circumstances, he might come back later to look closely at the ...

... and the body mount points. All it really was was a shortened Chevy Sedan frame. In July, Chevrolet's chief engineer Ed Cole, and Harry Barr started to work on a all new Chevrolet V-8 engine. During a test run, the prototype fiberglass-bodied Chevrolet full sized convertible accidentally rolled. Since the body survived with minimal damage, they decided to keep the fiberglass for the body material for the upcoming Corvette. The year was almost over when they had to decide what name to give the new Chevrolet. The Chevrolet EX-122 is named the Corvette after a fast type of Royal Navy warship, by Myron Scott. He was an employee of Cambell-Ewald, Chevrolet' ...

... troublesome patches. present different methods to the producer of the project, who chooses one direction. Then the programmer writes the code. The final stages of the project are marked by intense, isolated coding and extensive error checking and testing for quality control. The programmer is expected to address all issues that arise during this testing. Systems may be hired on a Monday, handed the technical specifications to a piece of hardware, then told to write an interface, or a patch, or some small, discrete project that takes only a few hours. Then on Tuesday, they might be moved to a different project, working on code inherited from previous projects. Sy ...

... almost 2000 years ago. It is simply a wooden rack holding parallel wire on which beads are strung. When these beads are moved along the wire according to "programming" rules that the user must memorize, all ordinary arithmetic operations can be performed (Soma, 14). The next innovation in computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented the first digital calculating machine. It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by turning dials. It was designed to help Pascal's father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32). In the early 1800, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powe ...

... instruments and sounds by recreating the waveform (or shape of the sound waves) produced by playing them. Electronics has not only offered a means to alter the sounds of already existing instruments, but also as a way to generate new sounds, effects, tones and timbres that would never be possible to be produced in a natural setting. In the years following the first electronic instruments and synthesizers was what was called the “Digital Era”. Employing computers to do operations similar to that of electronic devices required conversion of an electronic signal, called an analogue signal, to a series of 1’s and 0’s that computers use to calculate information, ...
