.... around computers and technology. Banks use computers to keep track of money. Fast Food restaurants use computers for inventory and taking care of money also. Before long everyone will have a computer at home. The Internet is a big part of our lives today. It is being used everywhere and every way. The Internet was first originally used in 1969 for military purposes but look around today almost every home that has a computer has the Internet. The Internet has came a long way. Everyone has the Internet or has some access to the Internet some how. It serves for many purposes one being for business. Another may be just for enjoyment. The Internet all .....

.... AS A VIRUS PROGRAM: - PROGRAM WHICH HAS CAPABILITY TO EXECUTE THE MODIFICATION ON A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS. - CAPABILITY TO RECOGNIZE A MODIFICATION PERFORMED ON A PROGRAM.(THE ABILITY TO PREVENT FURTHER MODIFICATION OF THE SAME PROGRAM UPON SUCH RECONDITION.) - MODIFIED SOFTWARE ASSUME ATTRIBUTES 1 TO 4. HOW DOES A VIRUS SPREAD: A computer virus can only be put into your system either by yourself or someone else. One way in which a virus can be put into your computer is via a Trojan Horse. -TROJAN HORSE IS USUALLY CONTAMINATED IN DISKS WHICH ARE PA .....

.... 2000 would be stored as 01/01/00. But the computer will interpret this as January 1, 1900- not 2000" (de Jager 1). The '19' is "hard-coded" into computer hardware and software. Since there are only 2 physical spaces for the year in this date format, after '99', the only logical choice is to reset the number to '00'. The year 2000 problem is unlike any other problem in modern history for several reasons. William Adams points out some of the most important ones. "Time is running out- the Year 2000 is inevitable! The problem will occur simultaneously worldwide, time zones withstanding. It affects all languages and platforms, hardware & software. The dem .....

.... in big-systems developments. Times have changed, and with it our understanding and experience as how best to develop large systems. Today's large systems yield greater benefits for less cost than those of previous decades. Large systems provide better, more timely information, the ability to integrate and correlate internal and external information, the ability to integrate and facilitate streamlined business processes. Unfortunately, not every system that information workers develop are well implemented; this means that the computer system which was originally intended to make a company more efficient, productive and cost-effective, is in the end .....

.... parallel wires on which beads are strung. When these beads are moved along the wire according to "programming" rules that the user must me! morize, 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 1800Os, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could store up to 1000 50-digit number .....

.... In order to provide a clear analysis of the impact of technology on employment, we need to take into account the consequences of technological transitions and seek to relate these to social, economic, political, and cultural factors occurring at the time. The relationship between technology and employment is at the same time complex and volatile (Mokyr 1990, p.52). To illustrate, the term “Luddite� was coined in the early 19th Century to describe mindless machine-breaking (Jones 1996, p.21). The Luddites were skilled cloth-weavers who believed that technology would destroy their livelihood and opportunities for work (Jones 1996, p.22). The .....

.... to perform their function. Programmers often are categorized as technicians. However, many technical innovations in programming such as advanced computing technologies, sophisticated new languages, and programming tools, have cahnged the role of a programmer and elevated much of the programming work done today. It is becoming more difficult to distinguish programmers from other computer specialist since job titles shift so rapidly, reflecting new areas of specialization or changes in technology. Job titles and descriptions also may vary depending on the organization. In this paper, "computer programmer" refers to individuals whose main job function i .....

.... The came out of Engelbart's study due to the acceptability and ease of its operation. Engelbart did not officially announce his invention until 1968. After the debut of the mouse the next real step in its advancement did not come until 1970 at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. Alan Day developed the first working computer that used the . While at the research center Day and other researches developed the first computer that depended on the to point. The next advancement for the came out of the Apple computer. The Apple Lisa computer used a graphical user interface and it helped create the technology used for the . The Macintosh computer .....

.... card that you just got and it expires 05/02, the bank will think 05/02 means 05/1902, It is way overdue to be terminated and bam! There goes your credit card. This bug also affects other things in the city. For example, if a train is running on a track and the power cuts out, then the gates wont go down and people will be in a lot of trouble. (Also, what happens if the power goes out in a hospital? (Also see “WHAT IS Y2K� later on) Food is one essential thing that is crucial to survival and many people think that we may need lots of canned and dry goods. As in any crisis situation, some believe that the worst will happen: We will all die, go to .....

.... language of the system, which in turn determines the implementation of the system, we can understand that the differences between the various systems with different data models can be big and substantial. Second is the common theoretical framework. Although there is no standard object-oriented model, most object-oriented database systems that are operational or under development today share a set of fundamental object-oriented concepts. Therefore the implementation issues in OODBMSs that arise due to these concepts are universal. The third characteristic is that of experimental activity. Plenty of prototypes have been implemented and some ! .....
