The internet links people together into a web of networks and shared software using computer terminals and telephone lines or wireless radio connections.The basic internet was formed about 4 or 5 years ago by the United States government with the idea to pass information between themselves rapidly and efficently. Groups like the Army, Navy, Air Force .....

.... sites will be discussed. Lastly, this paper will discuss what measures can be taken to protect children from pornographic Internet sites. What exactly is the Internet? It is a global network of computers used to transmit all types of data between computers. Text, numbers, programs, illustrations, photographs, audio, animation, and video can all be transmitted over the Internet. Contrary to what some people may think, the Internet is not a single computer nor is it a single service. The Internet is not owned by or governed by anyone. It exists solely thro .....

.... the top, middle, or lower portion of the fuselage. These designs are referred to as high-, mid-, and low-wing, respectively. The number of wings can also vary. Airplanes with a single set of wings are referred to as monoplanes, while those with two sets are called biplanes. To help fly the airplane, the wings have two types of control surfaces attached to the rear, or trailing, edges. They are referred to as ailerons and flaps. Ailerons extend from about the midpoint of each wing outward to the tip. They move in opposite directions - when one aileron go .....

.... foremost Cold War think-tank. Why not create a network of computers without one central main authoritative unit (Sterling 1) The Rand Corporation working along side the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) devised a plan. The network itself would be considered unreliable at all times; therefore it would never become too dependable and powerful. Each computer on the network or node would have its own authority to originate, pass, and receive messages. The name given to this network was the ARPANET. To fully understand the ARPANET, an understan .....

.... be abbreviated as 51. So, as a result, computers will read 00 and think it's 1900 and not 2000. This seemingly small problem will result in a loss of most records and information kept in computers causing a major headache for government agencies and major businesses, not to mention all home owners and other people. Gina Smith writes in a August 1998 issue of Popular Science about the fixing of the problem "You are probably wondering why the problem is so hart to fix. It isn't It's just that there's so much to be fixed. Updating software to handle the new .....

The software industry loses more than $15.2 billion annually worldwide due to software piracy. Software piracy costs the industry: $482 every second $28,900 every minute $1.7 million every hour $41.6 million every day $291.5 million every week To under .....

.... modem users have gone from data transfer rates of 300bps to 1,200 bps to 2,400 bps to 9,600 bps to 14.4Kbps to 28.8Kbps to, and to 33.6Kbps. Now new modem standards are emerging, reaching speeds of up to 56Kbps. Unlike the 33.6Kbps modems being sold today, 56Kbps is a significant improvement over 28.8Kbps modems. Viewing complex graphics or downloading sound files improves significantly with 56Kbps. The modem experts keep telling us that we are about maxed out. For instance when the 28.8 modems where first introduced they said that we've reached our maximum spe .....

.... century brought the discoveries of the Bronze and Iron Ages to new heights, and the advent of the locomotive, automobiles, cargo ships and airplanes were the most evident by-products of such raw materials. Use of these by-products from the earth's raw materials dramatically changed the world of business and trade. With the subsequent invention of wire communications (i.e., tapping out Morse code and speaking over telephone lines), business and trade grew exponentially. Wireless communications via the inventions of radio, television, and motion pict .....
