.... 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. A student looking to become a system analyst must concentrate on the scienc .....

.... the meaning of thought? That is, is it absurd and dangerous to attribute the capabilities of thinking and creativity to a computer? People have experience, convictions, and cultural traditions. Are these qualities being devalued? If so, perhaps we are heading into an era in which machinelike qualities of speed and problem solving will be valued more highly than what used to be called humane qualities. As a result, many people believe computers have the potential to contribute to worker dissatisfaction. Consider the potential for computer-based systems in business to be used to monitor employees. What if computers were (and some are alr .....

.... the force of the airbag is usually too much for them. Never put a rear facing child seat in the front seat of the car. If the airbag goes off, the seat will be pushed forward and the child may get squeezed between the back of the seat and the airbag. Children are less likely to be killed in a crash if they are in the back seat. If someone must put a child in the front seat, they may want to have an on/off switch for the airbag installed on the passenger side. On/off switches are used to prevent the airbag from going off in an accident, but they aren’t recommended for most people. You only need an airbag switch on the driver’s .....

.... on the computer, you need a fair amount of RAM memory as well as hard disk space. An application developed in 1993, probably will be to powerful and run quite slow on a previous system that was 'top of the line' in 1991. That's why it is important for companies to understand that they must think years down the road before spending thousands of dollars on the technology of today. The best way is to prepare for the future such as making sure your mainframe is upgradeable and contains at least 8 expansion slots, which should already be loaded with enhanced graphics cards, the necessary amount of serial ports etc.. Networks are everywhere .....

.... 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 stations, called nodes, on this high speed network. ARPANET grew during t .....

.... private information does not make the evening news? 2. Are certain types of information more readily amenable to digital processing in a paperless office than others? If so, why; if not, why not? It would seem that some types of information are better in paperless form, while some are not. Implementing an e-mail system can do wonders for companies. The e-mail sessions allow managers to get more information across to the employees and vice versa. This is a way to make sure everyone will access to the same information. A paperless office is a good way to send and receive reports. Another area that is conducive to a paperless off .....

.... these cultures became more stationary and more time was diverted from the pursuit of nutrition to the development of civilization. This can clearly be demonstrated through the fact that all major ancient civilizations including Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, and India were founded upon a stationary, river-based agricultural system ("Agriculture" 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 advancem .....

.... of schedule does the employee feel constitutes telecommuting? Generally speaking, telecommuting is defined as spending at least one day out of a five day work week working in the home. Is one day home enough for the employee? Or, too little? How does the employer decide how many days to allow? Does the employee's job lend itself well to telecommuting? Some jobs, obviously, can't be accomplished using a telecommuting format. Does the employee have a good track record for working unsupervised? This relates back to readiness levels. An employee who isn't performing at a high readiness level should not even be considered as a candidat .....

.... from a giant list so that the hacker can gain access to the computer network. A virii maker is a program that lets you insert the desired program codes and then it assembles the program codes into a working computer virus (Ash, 5-6). The formula that a hacker follows to hack is always the same. First, the hacker runs the prefix scanner, usually at night, to get a list of dial-ups, phone numbers that contain carriers. Once he has dials-ups, he has places to explore. Next he uses his terminal to dial-up the carriers. When he connects to the network, he will need to gain entrance to it. The hacker uses his password cracker to find a .....

.... bank will think 05/02 means 05/1902, It is way overdue to be terminated and bam! There goes your credit card. This bug also affects other things in the city. For example, if a train is running on a track and the power cuts out, then the gates wont go down and people will be in a lot of trouble. (Also, what happens if the power goes out in a hospital? (Also see “WHAT IS Y2K� later on) Food is one essential thing that is crucial to survival and many people think that we may need lots of canned and dry goods. As in any crisis situation, some believe that the worst will happen: We will all die, go to war, or the world will explode, etc. Th .....
