.... 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,” M. B. Zucke .....

.... of sex and computers seems to make children and adults for that matter, a little crazy. In an 18 month study, the team surveyed 917,840 sexually explicit pictures on the internet where pornographic. Trading in explicit imagery is now "one of thelargest recreational applications of users of computer networks." The great majority (71%) of the sexual images on the newsgrouls originate from adult oriented bulletin-board systems (BBS). According to BBS, 98.9% of the consumers of online porn are men. The women hold a 1.1% in chat rooms and on Bulletin boards. Perhaps because hard-core sex pictures are so wi .....

.... there will be a flow of data through each layer at one end down through the layers in that computer and, at the other end, when the message arrives, another flow of data up through the layers in the receiving computer. The actual programming and hardware that makes these seven layers of function is usually a combination of the computer OS, applications, TCP/IP and the software and hardware that enable you to put a signal on one of the lines attached to your computer. OSI divides communication into seven layers. The layers are in two groups. The upper four layers .....

.... of that time were chained point-to-point, with each place on the network dependent on the link before it. If one point in the network were blown up, the whole network would become useless. Paul Baran, one of the Rand thinkers on the project, conceived the idea for a new kind of communications network that wasn't organized point-to-point, but instead was set up more like a fishnet. He believed this structure could allow information to find its own path through the network even if a section had been destroyed. His eleven-volume report for the Pentagon was eventual .....

.... some criteria such as how people travelled or how information was transferred over long distances. However these periods are defined, their lengths have become increasingly shorter, with each new technological breakthrough now taking less than ten years to become accepted (recent examples include facsimile machines, video recorders and microwave ovens). One of the most recent, and hence most rapidly absorbed periods, has been that of the computer. The Age of Computing began with Charles Babbage in the late 19th century Babbage , grew in the calculating machin .....

.... We can, however, find clues through examining the cold facts of broadcast television and the impact of a mandatory regulation on that free broadcast. "Utilizing the EIA's Recommended Practice for Line 21 Data Service(EIA-608) specification, these chips decode EDS (Extended Data Services)program ratings, compare these ratings to viewer standards, and can be programmed to take a variety of actions, including complete blanking of programs." Is one definition of the V-chip from Al Marquis of Zilog Technology. The FCC or Capitol Hill has not set any standards for V-c .....

.... are few who would still adhere to a model of Nature vs. Nurture rather substituting the vs. for via. Both environmental and genetic factors contribute to human intelligence, however which of these, if any, is more important in shaping intelligence is a source of fierce disagreement. It seems apparent that those who posses higher levels of intelligence are accorded a certain amount of privilege. Therefore where intelligence comes from is essential in determining the validity of endowing privilege on those who posses it. Is it the case that the very definition of .....

.... the correct hardware and software that's best for their needs, while at the same time making themselves familiar with the new enhancements that increase productivity. Finally, the company must allow time for installation and training. When looking at the need to change from a manual accounting system to a computerized accounting system you also need to look at the future demands of your company. How do you know when it is time to make the change? When your company has grown so large that it no longer has access to the data used to make decisions, then it .....
