Technology Advances
Number of words: 289 - Number of pages: 2.... resulting in computer games.
In the beginning there were games like "Pong", single pixel tennis. On each
end of the screen there were two bars and the object was to hit a square pixel
back and forth in an attempt to score.
These types of games were good, but as technology advanced , graphics and sound
were in demand. From the ATARI came NINTENDO ( I am skipping a few minute
advances in technology like the ODDESY) Then Nintendo, which dominated the
market at the time, soon had competition with SEGA. Both of these systems were
16 bit. Theses machines still weren't enough to satisfy consumers for a while .....

Artificial Intelligence
Number of words: 420 - Number of pages: 2.... and to produce summaries, answer specific questions, or redistribute information to users interested in specific areas of this information. Essential to such programs is the ability of the system to generate grammatically correct sentences and to establish linkages between words, ideas, and associations with other ideas. Research has shown that whereas the logic of language structure—its syntax—submits to programming, the problem of meaning, or semantics, lies far deeper, in the direction of true AI.
In medicine, programs have been developed that analyze th .....

Othello: Game Strategy
Number of words: 695 - Number of pages: 3.... side with the one black (a setup move so the computer cannot capitalize
when you turn 5 black stones white, and the computer your seven whites
black.
Always play within your set "square". If you had on the bottom row 3
white, and on the second row 2 blacks, you would only play within that
designated square, which is 3 x 3 stones. (see diagram.) This ensures
that the computer can only play one stone past the square at any time,
which will help you in predicting where the computer will move and a basic
strategy.
Always try to keep yourself to one mov .....

Installing A Car Stereo System
Number of words: 1923 - Number of pages: 7.... sounds (i.e. violin, flute) as well as lower
frequency sounds (bass violin, tuba) require more power to be heard at the same
level as a midrange sound (voice, trumpet). The internal amplifier in the head
unit must be able to generate enough wattage for the SPL (sound pressure level)
of the higher frequencies to be heard clear in a space the size of the AEROSTAR.
Pre-amp Out RCA Jacks
To allow for low-level amplification without using an in-line power
reducer, the head unit will require low level pre-amplification output jacks.
Head units ordinarily com .....

The Cuckoo's Egg: Cliff's Persistence
Number of words: 1935 - Number of pages: 8.... far from
computers and civilization. The crew does not what to believe that it would be
Seventek, so they start to look what the impostor is doing. Cliff hooks up a
few computers to the line that comes from the Tymnet. Tymnet is a series of
fiber-optic cables that run from a major city to another major city. So if you
were in LA and wanted to hook up to a computer in the Big Apple you could call
long distance, have a lot of interference from other callers and have a slow
connection, or you could sign-up to Tymnet and dial locally, hop onthe optic
cable .....

How Technology Has Hurt Us
Number of words: 365 - Number of pages: 2.... problem. We use everything
from disposable pens to disposable diapers. We can stop some of the garbage
problem by recycling.
Air conditioners are using up allot of our electricity. There are times
in the summer when brown outs happen because if our excessive use of the air
conditioners. Freon gets released into our environment.
Today people are being kept alive longer and longer. People that have
no chance of recovery are being kept alive on ventilators. This causes a great
expense to society and an emotional stress on the family. Even though older
peo .....

America And The Computer Industry
Number of words: 2608 - Number of pages: 10.... all ordinary
arithmetic operations can be performed (Soma, 14). The next innovation in
computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented the first "digital
calculating machine". It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by
turning dials. It was designed to help Pascal's father who was a tax collector
(Soma, 32).
In the early 1800's, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an
automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could store up to 1000
50-digit numbers. Built in to his machine were operations that included
eve .....

Computer Pornography
Number of words: 2098 - Number of pages: 8.... passed a law known
as the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In the TA there is a part called the
Communications Decency Act or CDA. This part of the bill arose because of the
