.... Britian. It was Sir Whittle's design that lead Great Britian into the jet age with the first successful flight. At the same time, the Germans were designing there own jet engine and aircraft which would be one of the factors that kept Germany alive in World War II. With technological advances by the allies a prototype turbojet known as the "Heinkel He 178" came into a few operational squadrons in the German, British, and the American air forces towards the end of World War II. These jets finally helped the allies to win the war against the axis powers(Smith 23-27). A later development in the jet industry was the overcoming of the sound barr .....

.... prescription at the pharmacists. Furthermore, Icove (1998) suggested that with the price of home computers that work faster and store more memory going down every year due to competition in the market, it is estimated that by the year 2011 most every American home will have a PC with instant access to the Internet. With an increase in users everyday and new businesses taking advantage of perks of an alternate electronic world, this information dimension will only get bigger, more elaborate, provide more services, and we will find society as a whole more and more dependent on it. However, even in an artificial environment such as the cyberspace, it .....

.... big part of our lives. Things we see and hear in the media influence what we wear, what we eat, and how we think without things like global communication our economy would be very different We wouldn't be able to buy cars from japan or sell crops to foreign countries. Government communicate using global technology. Mass meetings are held using video conferencing and speaker phones. Massive oversea trade deals are made overseas with the aids of phones, fax, and the Internet. Without these forms of communication we would have to take a plane across the ocean just to talk to someone on the other side of the pond. Types Of Communication Systems 1. .....

.... do they understand it if they do. The Software Publisher’s Association defines computer/software piracy as “the unauthorized use or illegal copying of a software product. It occurs in a number of forms, from the sharing of floppy disks to mismanagement of network software licenses and the production of counterfeit CD-ROMs, including “compilation CDs� that can contain thousands of dollars worth of products.� There are many ways that an individual can commit computer/software piracy. There are six different methods that you can pirate software. The first method of software piracy is called End User Copying. This is the most common method of s .....

.... effortlessly a person. According to the Profession story people would no longer read books to learn and improve their knowledge. People would rely on the computers rather than "try to memorize enough to match someone else who knows" (Nine Tomorrows, Profession 55). People would not chose to study, they would only want to be educated by computer tapes. Putting in knowledge would take less time than reading books and memorizing something that would take almost no time using a computer in the futuristic world that Asimov describes. Humans might began to rely on computers and allow them to control themselves by letting computers educate people. Compu .....

.... instance, shoppers can compare equipment and costs at Nobody Beats the Wiz, Lechmere, Circut City, Staples, and Office Max - all within minutes in one another. Yet, computer retailers insist that there has been a need for more stores - specifically their own - citing a nearly constant updating of equipment and a growing emphasis on service. They also believe revenue potential remains because computers are constanly changing and more people are becoming curious about the Internet. Still, many worry the market potential might be waning. Analysts believe the market is very close to being saturated, if not already there. there are only so many com .....

.... are limited, coax is the best cable for the price. It is the oldest type but in some cases, it is sufficient because you don’t necessarily need a fast network. If you are not going to be connected to the Internet and your network is only going to be used for office work, coax is fine. The two types of coax that we will be using are RG-8 (thick) and RG-58 (thin). The RG-8 will be used as a backbone cable of the network this backbone cable is necessary because we will be using a bus topology on this network, which physically consist of a single cable (backbone) with multiple nodes attached to it. The RG-58 will not be attached to the backbone dir .....

.... San Francisco. In 1981, the International Business Machines Company introduced the first IBM PC. Unlike Apple, IBM used a policy of open architecture for their computer. They bought all of their components from the lowest bidder, such as the 8086 and 8088 microprocessor chips, made by a Intel, a Hillsboro, Oregon company. When IBM¹s computer¹s design had been finalized, they shared most of the inner workings of the computer with everyone. IBM hoped that this would encourage companies to manufacture computers that were compatible with theirs, and that in turn, would cause software companies to create operating systems, or OS, and other programs .....

.... They had not even been introduced for business use, and not many people knew about them. These computers ran on vacuum tubes. They were very large, slow, and produced a lot of heat. The vacuum tubes that the computer ran on failed frequently. They were down and not running for most of the time. But these new machines were big news to the public. The media became very interested in them. They wrote about them in newspapers and magazines calling them “electronic brains� That will change the world. In 1953 IBM realized that a market existed for business computers. They introduced a total of 19 of these computers for businesses. The computers wer .....

.... A password cracker is a program that tries passwords from a giant list so that the hacker can gain access to the computer network. A virii maker is a program that lets you insert the desired program codes and then it assembles the program codes into a working computer virus (Ash, 5-6). The formula that a hacker follows to hack is always the same. First, the hacker runs the prefix scanner, usually at night, to get a list of dial-ups, phone numbers that contain carriers. Once he has dials-ups, he has places to explore. Next he uses his terminal to dial-up the carriers. When he connects to the network, he will need to gain entrance to it. The hac .....
