.... in 1906. The radio soon replaced the newspaper as the mass media conductor of choice in the North American society. ‘The radio had an enormous impact on society. News from across the country could be received shortly after it occurred. Citizens no longer had to wait for the copy of the morning paper to hit the newsstands’(Bergeen 3). The television was invented on the heels of radio. ‘In 1920 the first primitive TV’s were born, however the media did not become persuasive until the 1950’s when they became more affordable’(Strate 2). They soon replaced the radio as the media form of choice. The newest and currently most controve .....

.... computer games by yourself as well as against someone from across the other side of the world. It can store databases which could contain information that is kept by police for easier records or you could just use it for your own family history. The basic structure of a computer is a keyboard, a moniter, a and case which holds all the componets to make a computer run like a Hard drive, a Motherboard, and a Video card. There are many other additions you can make to this such as a Modem, a Joystick, and a Mouse. The personal computer was developed during the year 1945 by the Americans to help them decode enemy secret codes during the Second .....

.... keyboard, mouse and monitor. There are ergonomic keyboards, mice and monitors being released all the time. The reason why the focus is on these products is that they are the parts of computer one interfaces with the most while working with computer. The subject of whether these ergonomic keyboards, mice, monitors and other products really work attracts a lot of regular computer users. Thus, studies dedicated to it have been done. This report is based on one of the studies about an ergonomic keyboard from a manufacturer called Kinesis. This study looks not only on the effect of the keyboard on the users' body by mean of electromyograph .....

.... of Y2K compliance. In the water, electric, and telecommunications utilities lays a far deeper, more involved problem than that of the other utilities. Each of these utilities have a high dependency on devices that have a high probability for not being Y2K compliant. These devices very nearlyd waste) are very much affected by Y2K. Problemed areas are found throughout the water infrastructure. Most obviously water utilities' computer systems will be affected by Y2K unless compliance is fulfilled. If the computers fail, the main areas affected would include customer service, accounts payable and receivable, databases, and management syst .....

.... me of the way things used to be when he was young. Despite the outstanding performance of carbuated cars on the racetrack, I believe that the future of the automotive world lies in computer controlled fuel injection systems. In order to understand the benefits of carburetors and fuel injectors, one must understand what they do. The carburetor is quite simply a fuel-metering device that operates under the logical and straightforward laws of physics. It has evolved over the years from a very simple and basic design to the complex and intricate models that are available today. Liquid fuel will not burn; it has to become vaporized by t .....

.... computers. Intel was the most proficient in this area and came out with a range of processors from 66 MHz-166 Mhz. These processors are also now starting to become obsolete. Todays computers come equipped with 400-600 Mhz processors that can multi-task at an alarming rate. Intel has just started the release phase of it’s new Pentium III-800MHz processor. Glenn Henry is quoted to say “Megahertz is all people care about� and this is too true. Sys Technology recently came out with what they claim as the “fastest commercially available PC�. This computer runs at an astonishing 1000 Mhz or 1 Ghz. This computer is appropriately na .....

.... to have a web page on the Internet. The ELN is known mainly for blowing up oilrigs in South America, and for kidnapping foreign executives. Two years ago, a Swedish hacker managed to go to London, to Atlanta, and then to Florida where he rerouted and tied up phone lines in each country, put 911 services out of commission, impeded the response of police, fire and rescue services. There are also a lot of cyber attacks within the United States, which are referred to as domestic attacks. In 1996, there were 128 cases of cyber attacks on the FBI's files, in 1998 there were 550. If a terrorist wanted to black out New York City he would have .....

.... sold to the American public must conform to received the NTSC signal. This signal has proved to be a durable way of transmitting information for 50 years. But with today's technology, a new standard has been in the works, HDTV. In September 1992 NBC's WRC-TV in Washington DC became the first television station in the country to send HDTV signals over the air waves. WRC- TV's general manager then stated, "With advanced digital high-definition television, viewers will experience unmatched picture quality and superior sound resolution." There are many pro's and con's regarding having HDTV as the new standard. Not all broadcasters are int .....

.... to share the same data, and programs. However, this data sharing can allow a virus to spread rapidly to computers that have otherwise been protected from external contamination. 3. Telecommunications: also known as a Wide Area Network, this entails the connection of computer systems to each other via modems, and telephone lines. This is the vector most feared by computer users, with infected files being rapidly passed along the emerging information super-highway, then downloaded from public services and then used, thus infecting the new system. 4. Spo .....

.... rapid growth of the internet has many positive aspects to it. The new technology that is developing with this rapid growth will help keep computers up to date with what is being developed on the internet. With these technological advances, systems will be faster, more powerful, and capable of doing more complicated tasks. As more people with different interests, thoughts, and ideas get involved with the internet, there will be more information available (Elmer-Dewitt 64). As the number of internet users increases, the prices will gradually decrease on internet software and organizations (Peterson 358). The best quality about the s .....
