.... Will they be out of a job? Will they be forced to operate computers that are foreign to them? How do we as a society adjust to technological change? The answer lies in society's ability to effectively measure the costs and benefits of technological change. The rapid growth of technology brings with it a massive amount of hope, but also despair. Kids are growing up with computers. They are learning more and faster than other generations could. This is wonderful, right? Maybe not. Will computers deplete the social skills kids need to mature? Will being a member of America OnLine rather than a youth group prove to be helpful or the opposite .....

.... which variables of each will yield the lowest errors, a system can be designed in which the Liveware-Hardware interface can promote safety and reduce mishap frequency. II. The History Of Human Factors in Cockpit Design The history of cockpit design can be traced as far back as the first balloon flights, where a barometer was used to measure altitude. The Wright brothers incorporated a string attached to the aircraft to indicate slips and skids (Hawkins, 241). However, the first real efforts towards human factors implementation in cockpit design began in the early 1930's. During this time, the United States Postal Service beg .....

.... Internet, the world has found new ways to communicate with one another. Just a few short clicks of a mouse, and people can send e-mail, talk in a chat room, and look at personal or corporate homepages. People in one country can talk to people in another country over the telephone and even see them, in real time, through video conferencing. What people need to communicate is no longer limited by the size of the paper, length of the tape, or cost of the call. As with all forms of communication, people are always concerned with how secure things are. With traditional forms of communication, even with the highest level of security, things ar .....

.... it horizontally and the beads were strung across the wires. This was used for normal arithmetic uses. These type of computers are considered analog computers. Another analog computer was the circular slide rule. This was invented in 1621 by William Oughtred who was an English mathematician. This slid ruler was a mechanical device made of two rules, one sliding inside the other, and marked with many number scales. This slide ruler could do such calculations as division, multiplication, roots, and logarithms. Soon after came some more advanced computers. In 1642 came Blaise Pascal's computer, the Pascaline. It was considered to be the fir .....

.... ago, Congress approved the Communications Decency Act, (CDA) which "was designed to protect children by prohibiting "indecent" speech or images from being sent through cyberspace."(Quittner) This law seems somewhat harmless at a first glance until you begin to read some of its clauses. One of the biggest groups that combated this issue was the CIEC, or Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition. The CIEC soon began to find problems with this bill as the so maticulously stated on their web site "It is also important to note that the CDA is not about child pornography, obscenity, or using the Internet to stalk children. These are already .....

.... equipment technology. The first point being, theoretical causes for technology advancement and the second point being, conceptual ideas currently in the works. In our research, we found that concrete findings were rare and few between, being that much of this subject is speculation or “napkin� design ideas. However; with all that our society is accomplishing and inventing everyday, it is easy to visualize the possibilities that we may be looking forward to in the coming years. Causes: Some theoretical explanations There is no exact, scientific reason for which manufactures are looking to the future of construction machiner .....

.... he finds that computerized accounting is easy to work with and is very timesaving. With computer technology changing at such fast pace, many businesses try to keep up by upgrading computer system constantly in order to stay competitive. In the example of Advance Management; the computer equipment they have is quite advances. For example, they own 3 computers of which one is solely for accounting purposes. The system includes a CPU Pentium II with 300 MHz microprocessor, a 64 MB SD Ram on board, a 56 K modem, a 32´CD-ROM, and also a 4.3 GB Hard Disk. This high quality equipment has bought recently and they have already contributed a lo .....

.... is up this year by over 20%." All engineering jobs are paying well, 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 economy .....

.... used in ancient India, China, and Tibet. Pontoon bridges were used in the military expeditions of the Persian monarchs Darius I and Xerxes I. The Romans built many timber-trestle bridges. Surviving roman bridges, however usually have a level road supported on one or more semicircular stone arches. One of the most famous bridges would be The Pont du Gard at Nimes, France. It has three tiers of arches rising 155 feet above the Gard River, spans a distance of 855 feet. It was built in the late 1st century BC or the early 1st century AD. The cantilever bridge is characterized by spans that are supported not at the ends but near the cent .....

.... additional users for less than the cost of additional full copies. Physical Resources Printers and backup systems are two examples of special hardware which often have low use rates. By setting up several computers to share these resources, money is saved from having to provide (for example) each user with their own printer. Fewer peripherals also can translate into lower maintenance costs and lower capital investments on the system as a whole. TYPES OF NETWORKS Networks fall into two categories: Server-Client, and Peer-To-Peer. Server-Client is often the fastest (and more expensive) of the two systems. In this setup .....
