Internet Censorship
Words: 1406 - Pages: 6.... 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 regulate the Internet at the present time in the United States. Before any cens .....

According to Using Computers: A Gateway to Information World Wide Web Edition, over 250 million Personal Computers (PC's) were in use by 1995, and one out of every three homes had a PC (Shelly, Cashman,& Waggoner, 138).
Computers are easy to use when you know how they work and what the parts are. All computers perform the four basic operations of the information processing cycle: input, process, output, and storage. Data, any kind of raw facts, is required for the processing cycle to occur.

The Millennium Bug

2000" (de Jager 1). The '19' is "hard-coded" into computer hardware and
software. Since there are only 2 physical spaces for the year in this date
format, after '99', the only logical choice is to reset the number to '00'.
The year 2000 problem is unlike any other problem in modern history for
several reasons. William Adams points out some of the most important ones.
"Time is running out- the Year 2000 is inevitable! The problem will occur
simultaneously worldwide, time zones withstanding. It affects all languages
and platforms, hardware & software. The demand for solutions will exceed

Local Area Networks
Words: 876 - Pages: 4.... for every one can have a common ground to start from. “The LANs described Herein are distinguished from other types of data networks in that they are optimized for a moderate size geographic area such as a single office building, warehouse, or a campus. The IEEE 802 LAN is a shared medium peer-to-peer communications network that broadcasts information for all stations to receive. As a consequence, it does not inherently provide privacy. The LAN enables stations to communicate directly using a common physical medium on a point-to-point basis without any intermediate switching node being required. There is always need for an acc .....

Censor The Internet?

Besides taking as extraordinary amount of time and money, attempts to violate freedom of speech, a right that is included in democratic constitutions and international laws (Silencing the Net…). It would be a breach of the First Amendment. The Constitution of the united States of America Declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to asse3m .....

Even From It's Humble Beginnings, The Internet Has Always Been A Battlefield Between Phreaks And Administrators
Words: 1773 - Pages: 7.... city, it has the highly
prestigious areas, and the sex-ridden slums. It has the upstanding
citizens, and it has the criminals. On the Net, crime is more abundant
than in a large city, though, mainly because of the difficulties in
tracking and prosecuting offenders. Even from its beginnings, the Internet
has always been a battlefield between phreaks and administrators.
The Internet hasn't always been a public forum. In fact, the Internet has
been around for years. The Internet is just a new fad ("The More I Learn"
A1). The Internet originally began as DARPANET, a government-created
network, which was designed for defense communicatio .....

Classification Analysis
Words: 565 - Pages: 3.... the monitor is a form of output device since it is the screen that
tells them what the computer is actually doing. Simply put, without a
monitor, the computer itself is basically useless. Another form of output,
which is rarely noticed by many computer users however, is the printer.
Many people have probably used a printer before, but it is just that they
never realize it is also a form of output.
As opposed to 'output', 'input' consists of components that take in
information from the users themselves so that the computer will know the
tasks it is supposed to perform and accomplish. The keyboard is classified
as a form of input b .....
