History Of Computers
Words: 821 - Pages: 3.... with making the first complete digital operation is Howard Aiken’s Harvard Mark I (created in 1937), which was made up of 78 adding machines and calculators.
Although Howard’s model was automatic, it was controlled by instructions punched into a roll of paper tape. There was a need for an all-electronic machine.
This project was taken up by Dr. J. Presper Eckert Jr., and Dr. John W. Mauchly, with help from a few of their colleagues, in the spring of 1946. For two and a half years, they work diligently to construct a machine called the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator, or ENIAC. This machine was a complex of 500,000 .....

Radio - Making Waves In America
Words: 1502 - Pages: 6.... to Guglielmo Marconi, who, starting in 1895, developed the first ÒwirelessÓ radio transmitter and receiver. Working at home with no support from his father, but plenty from his mother, Marconi improved upon the experiments and equipment of Hertz and others working on radio transmission. He created a better radio wave detector or cohere and connected it to an early type of antenna. With the help of his brothers and some of the neighborhood boys he was able to send wireless telegraph messages over short distances. By 1899 he had established a wireless communications link between England and France that had the ability to operate under .....

Against Federal Censorship Of The Internet

The Supreme Court stated that the act was not only vague but that it unconstitutionally restricted the free speech rights of adults.
An estimated of 40% of Internet material originates from foreign countries, where the US's Decency Act would not apply. Governments should not have the power to determine what sort of material is fit or unfit for individuals and their children to access on the Internet. Such power could become an oppressive form of censorship and could be used i .....

The Internet

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 data. When a stupid chick posts some
info that her doggie just pissed on th .....

Computer Software Piracy And It's Impact On The International Economy

Software piracy harms all software companies and ultimately, the end
user. Piracy results in higher prices for honest users, reduced levels of
support and delays in funding and development of new products, causing the
overall breadth and quality of software to suffer” ("What is...” Internet). Even
the users of unlawful copies suffer from their own illegal actions: they receive
no documentation, no customer support and no information about product updates
("Software Use..." Internet).

Artificial Intelligence
Words: 2749 - Pages: 10.... purpose of this study is to determine additional areas where artificial
intelligence technology may be applied for positive identifications of
individuals during financial transactions, such as automated banking
transactions, telephone transactions , and home banking activities. This study
focuses on academic research in neural network technology . This study was
funded by the Banking Commission in its effort to deter fraud.
Overview
Recently, the thrust of studies into practical applications for artificial
intelligence have focused on exploiting the expectations of both expert systems
and neural network computer .....

Computer Programming
Words: 631 - Pages: 3.... but it is not without its limits. The two basic advantages
RAD tools promise over traditional programming are shorter, more flexible
development cycle and the fact that applications can be developed by a
reasonably sophisticated end user. The main disadvantage is that RAD tools
often require code to be written, which will result in most developers probably
having to learn to program using the underlying programming language, except in
the case of the simplest applications. The time gained from using a RAD tool
can be immense, however: Programmers using IBM's VisualAge report the ability
to create up to 80 percent of an application vi .....

Holograms

tell you about the apple's depth -its form and where it sits in relation to
other objects. Your brain processes this information so that you see the apple,
and the rest of the world, in 3-D. You can look around objects, too -if the
apple is blocking the view of an orange behind it, you can just move your
head to one side. The apple seems to "move" out of the way so you can
see the orange or even the back of the apple. If that seems a bit
obvious, just try looking behind something in a regular photograph!
You can't, because the photograph can't reproduce the infinitely complicated

Internet Access
Words: 691 - Pages: 3.... Access
Network where there are a group of computers and other devices that are spread
over a relatively limited area and connected by a communications link. This
also allows you to communicate with any other computer on the network. If you
access by a host, it is usually done through a LAN or with telephone lines and
modems combined with Internet software on a personal computer. Terminal access
is usually done by a telephone line and a modem and it is used with terminal-
emulation software on a personal computer. This also allows you to interact
with another computer that is an Internet host (explained later). Gateway
access is simi .....
