The Internet Contributes To The Process Of Globalization
... hypothesizes the convergence of all the worlds institutions, thus creating emancipatory markets and an informal, non state, non economic, political zone. The increasing prominence of the Internet in the day to day lives of people across the globe and the growing reliance on information disseminated via the Internet illustrates the ability of the Internet to span the globe and in essence create a unified sense of shared memories. Furthermore it is immutable proof that the Internet is perhaps the most powerful tool of globalization
It has been argued that the opening presumption that there exists a "coercive, sometimes wholly unconscious force of American imperial ...

Software And High School
... especially for beginners. Their first encounter with
the computer should be exiting and fun. It should stimulate their interest in
the computing field.
First and foremost is the fact that computer software is a very
important educational tool. Students in high schools experience computers for
the first time through games and other entertaining software. These help develop
youth's mental 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. ...

Censorship On The Internet
... over the computer in the early 1980's. People would pay to down load pornographic pictures and talk dirty to each other. Usenet groups took control of porn after the Internet came about. They did not charge people to down load picture and to interact with others. In result, Internet porn grew (Rosen 16). Things have changed drastically since then with over a million different sites available to access porn. Now it is not just for adults. Children are accessing the obscene materials. This brings rise to issues of how to protect them from problems that can arise. The materials they view, could influence children. They could also be subjected to cybersex in a ...

The Internet, Pornography, And Children
... to children who are
viewing the Internet, what pornography is, and laws concerning child
pornography (in general and over the Internet). Additionally, the number,
content, and accessibility of pornographic sites will be discussed. Lastly,
this paper will discuss what measures can be taken to protect children from
pornographic Internet sites. What exactly is the Internet? It is a global
network of computers used to transmit all types of data between computers.
Text, numbers, programs, illustrations, photographs, audio, animation, and
video can all be transmitted over the Internet. Contrary to what some
people may think, the Internet is not a single computer nor is ...

The Internet
... I'm lost.
Similarly, browsing the web without a very specific subject in mind (as the
majority of our fellow humans do) turns this tool into a horrific waste of
time. And the vast information stored here is useless, as if it wasn't
there. Secondly, to get anything interesting or informative from the web,
no matter what the subject, one must know its exact location, else one is
compelled to dive into a muddy flood of shit. This leads me to the point of
clarifying the term "information":
This word usually has two meanings, a fact that contributes to
misunderstandings. It can mean a piece of wanted, useful and understandable
data or it can also mean any piece of ...

Will Computers Control Humans In The Future?
... people being educated by computer programs designed to
educate effortlessly a person. According to the Profession story people
would no longer read books to learn and improve their knowledge. People
would rely on the computers rather than "try to memorize enough to match
someone else who knows" (Nine Tomorrows, Profession 55). People would not
chose to study, they would only want to be educated by computer tapes.
Putting in knowledge would take less time than reading books and memorizing
something that would take almost no time using a computer in the futuristic
world that Asimov describes. Humans might began to rely on computers and
allow them to control themse ...

The Modem
... and from there they rapidly developed the first modem speed was
300 baud and from there a 600 baud than 1200 and so on. The fastest modem made
today is a 56k which is very fast. Not as fast as ISDN (The Wave offered through
Rogers cable) or even as advanced as Satellite modem. Most people now have 14.4
or 28.8 baud modems (Baud is "Slang" for Baud Rate Per Second) the reason for
the increase in 14.4 and 28.8's is that they are cheap and fairly recent and
haven't gone out of date yet. There are two types of modem external and
external modems internal plugs into a 16 bit port inside your computer and
external connects through either a serial (mouse)port or a ...

Auditing Computer Security
... log becomes you tool for tracking the events that you specify.
On a domain controller, the audit policy determines the amount and type of security logging that window nt server performs on all domain controllers in the domain. On windows nt workstation or on member servers, the audit policy determines the amount and type of security logging performed on the individual computer.
You will first plan the policy, then implement it, and finally view the results.
You can set up on audit policy for a domain to: track the success and failure of events, such as when users attempt to log on, read a file, make changes to user and group permissions, change the secu ...

Internet Censorship
... of speech on the Internet quote from the first amendment of the Constitution. In addition, many groups are in favor of restricting the Internet, similarly to how television is regulated in the United States. In favor of this regulation are groups emphasizing values and some foreign governments. In the latter, often the government does not want the citizens being introduced to new ideas, which may cause discontent and unrest in some cases. Whether the Internet should and can be censored is one debate which affects much of the modern world. Though there are strong arguments on both sides, by examining evidence it can be decided that there is no feasible way to regu ...

Ultrasonic Radar For A Home PC System
... to have huge structures that could
send out signals to find out if any aircraft were approaching. This
technology is now offered to people who have a computer with microsoft's
quick basic, or a Macintosh, and space (equivalent to that of a coffee-pot)
to spare. Ultrasonic radar is now a small component for your computer,
giving computer operators a chance to see low flying objects, household
furniture, and even themselves on their PC screen. Just to impress a
neighbour or friend is reason enough to build your own ultrasonic radar
station.
Similar to that of a Polaroid, ultrasonic transducers are used in this
type of radar. A rangefinder emits a brief pulse ...
