Computer Crime 3
Words: 897 - Pages: 4.... form of crime was born. These crimes referred to as computer crimes are varied and some are a lot more serious than others. Computer crime can involve criminal activities such as theft, fraud, forgery and mischief, all which are easily defined and subject to criminal sanctions. The computer has also brought along with it a host of potentially new misuses or abuses that may, or should be criminal as well.
The problem with today’s computer crimes are that the criminal justice
systems have not been able to keep up with the technological change. Only a few
countries have adequate laws to address the problem, and of these, not one has

Technology And The Future Of Work
Words: 4372 - Pages: 16.... have
entered post modernity or post Fordism, a new age technological revolution,
which profoundly effects social structure and values. Some issues that will be
addressed are: elimination of work in the traditional sense, longevity, early
retirement, the elimination of cash, the restructuring of education, industry
and a movement to global politics, economics and world government.
In particular this paper will suggest that the Christian Judao work ethic with
society's goals of full employment in the traditional sense is no longer
appropriate, necessary or even possible in the near future, and that the
definition of work needs to be far mo .....

Germany, and Japan. Robots are also being used for scientific research, in
military programs, and as educational tools, and they are being developed to aid
people who have lost the use of their limbs. These devices, however, are for
the most part quite different from the androids, or humanlike robots, and other
robots of fiction. They rarely take human form, they perform only a limited
number of set tasks, and they do not have minds of their own. In fact, it is
often hard to distinguish between devices called robots and other modern
automated systems.
Although the term robot did not come into use until the 20th centur .....

Is The Internet Bring A New Era Of American Cultural Imperia
Words: 2738 - Pages: 10.... biased. This fact combined with the United States’ commanding dominance in nearly all aspects of the Internet and the apparent lack of controllability of the content of Internet has fueled international fears of a new era of American cultural imperialism. According to Barber, this Western tidal wave of cultural biased information and products will create a bi-polar world (Jihad vs. McWorld). However, Barber concludes that unless Jihad’s supporters (e.g. religious organization) embraces the Internets and the new markets it creates, the Jihad’s long-term survivability is low (Barber, 156).

The Bulgarian And Soviet Virus Factories
Words: 9220 - Pages: 34.... [Chip]. Soon after that, the same Bulgarian
magazine published an article [KV89]], explaining why computer viruses
cannot be dangerous. The arguments presented were, in general, correct, but
the author had completely missed the fact that the majority of PC users are
not experienced programmers.
A few months later, in the fall of the same year, two men came in the
editor's office of the magazine and claimed that they have found a computer
virus. Careful examination showed that it was the VIENNA virus.
At that time the computer virus was a completely new idea for us. To make a
computer program, whose performance resembles a live being, .....

How Technology Effects Modern America

proving that highly skilled labor is what employers want! "There is clear
evidence that the supply of workers in the [unskilled labor] categories already
exceeds the demand for their services," says L. Mishel, Research Director of
Welfare Reform Network. In view of these facts, I wonder if these trends are
good or bad for society. "The danger of the information age is that while in
the short run it may be cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long
run it is potentially self-destructive because there will not be enough
purchasing power to grow the e .....

It lowers the car at highway speeds to make it more aerodynamic which will give you better gas mileage and makes the car easier to handle at these high speeds. The latest computer is an on-board navigational computer that will direct the driver into using the fastest and most efficient way to get to the destination. It will plan your route around any construction, traffic jams, and even inclement weather. If and when these cars break down, a mechanic will simply ask the car's on-board computer what is wrong, rather th .....

A Quantum Computer
Words: 1627 - Pages: 6.... and you had to retrieve a briefcase left on a desk picked at random in one of hundreds of offices. In the same way that you would have to walk through the building, opening doors one at a time to find the briefcase, an ordinary computer has to make it way through long strings of 1’s and 0’s until it arrives at the answer. But what if instead of having to search by yourself, you could instantly create as many copies of yourself as there were rooms in the building all the copies could simultaneously peek in all the offices, and the one that finds the briefcase becomes the real you, the rest just disappear. – (David Freeman, disco .....

Brief History Of Library Automation: 1930-1996
Words: 1647 - Pages: 6.... systems exist,
however, this paper will focus on the more recent computer automation beginning
in the early twentieth century.
The Beginnings of Library Automation: 1930-1960
It could be said that library automation development began in the 1930's
when punch card equipment was implemented for use in library circulation and
acquisitions. During the 30's and early 40's progress on computer systems was
slow which is not surprising, given the Depression and World War II. In 1945,
Vannevar Bush envisioned an automated system that would store information,
including books, personal records and articles. Bush(1945) wrote about a
hypothetical " .....

Words: 773 - Pages: 3.... the other side of the world lived the cause of the problem, Morpheus. Morpheus could change into different people but for only two hours. Morpheus knew Herbio and they had been enemies for a very long time. Morpheus also knew that Herbio would try to solve this problem, but she wasn't aware that Herbio had Mother Nature as a secret weapon.
Herbio and Mother Nature went to look for Morpheus once they found out she was the one who created the problem. As soon as they caught up with her, using Mother Nature's mind skills, they tried to defeat her. Herbio had to leave Mother Nature with Morpheus to find the main computer to fix the .....
