The Future Of The Internet
Words: 457 / Pages: 2 .... it perfectly, “It is a place for everyone.”
The rapid growth of the internet has many positive aspects to it. The
new technology that is developing with this rapid growth will help keep
computers up to date with what is being developed on the internet. With these
technological advances, systems will be faster, more powerful, and capable of
doing more complicated tasks. As more people with different interests,
thoughts, and ideas get involved with the internet, there will be more
information available (Elmer-Dewitt 64). As the number of internet users
increases, the prices will gradually decrease on internet software and
organizations (Pete .....

Technology In Our Society
Words: 833 / Pages: 4 .... to face this life if he
does not desire to. He can no longer sculpt, run, move, kiss or have any form of
sexual fulfillment. Obviously, his normal life has drifted away. The tendency to
sustain people's lives, just because the technology is available, is intolerance
under certain circumstances. It is the individual patient who must make a
decision about whether to keep himself alive. "What is the point of prolonging a
person's biological life if it is obtained at the cost of a serious assault on
that person's liberty?" There is probably no simple answer for this question.
Any patient's decision should be respected, not based on the fact of all

Virtual Reality - What It Is And How It Works
Words: 752 / Pages: 3 .... when, among other
people, Timothy Leary became interested in VR. This has also worried some of
the researchers who are trying to create very real applications for medical,
space, physical, chemical, and entertainment uses among other things.
In order to create this alternate reality, however, you need to find ways to
create the illusion of reality with a piece of machinery known as the computer.
This is done with several computer-user interfaces used to simulate the senses.
Among these, are stereoscopic glasses to make the simulated world look real, a
3D auditory display to give depth to sound, sensor lined gloves to simulate
tactile feedback, a .....

Animation
Words: 2257 / Pages: 9 .... which artists must spend
tremendous hours of agony to produce only seconds of animated film.
Before an animator goes about creating an animation he or she must have
the knowledge of several rules of animation, which animators around the world
follow. The first rule of animation is that an animator must hold the
understanding of the techniques used to produce single cells of animation.
Second rule, and one of the most important ones is that, the animator must have
great patience, so that his or her piece of artwork is not rushed, to prevent
the animation from looking choppy and not as smooth as it should look. Finally
what is required from an a .....

A Cray SuperComputer Comes To The University Of Toronto
Words: 680 / Pages: 3 .... Cray is only about 20 times faster that
the PC. Obviously, this is not the case. The Cray handles data
considerably differently than the PC. The Cray's circuits permit an array
of data (known as a 'vector') to be processes as a SINGLE entity. So,
where the IBMPC may require several clock cycles to multiply two numbers,
the Cray performs everything in one clock cycle. This power is measured in
Millions of Floating Point Operations Per Second (MFLOPS) - which is to
say the rate at which floating-point operations can be performed. The Cray
MFLOPS vary as it does many activities, but a rate of up to 210 MFLOPS
(per CPU) can be achieved.
The second .....

Computer Protection
Words: 2497 / Pages: 10 .... can steal it
from the memory of the computer?
Physical hazard is one of the causes of destroying the data in the
computer. For example, send a flood of coffee toward a personal computer. The
hard disk of the computer could be endangered by the flood of coffee. Besides,
human caretaker of computer system can cause as much as harm as any physical
hazard. For example, a cashier in a bank can transfer some money from one of his
customer's account to his own account. Nonetheless, the most dangerous thief are
not those who work with computer every day, but youthful amateurs who experiment
at night --- the hackers.
The term "hacker "may have originated at .....

Words: 729 / Pages: 3 .... time (often
Friday the thirteenth). The logic bomb is a virus triggered by a certain value
appearing a certain part of the computers memory, either relevant to the viruses
purposes or at random. The Trojan horse is an innocent seeming program
deliberately infects with a virus and circulated publicly. There is a cure for
these viruses, though. These "cures" are called vaccines. A vaccine is a
program that watches for typical things viruses do, halts them, and warns the
computer operator.
"Put a kid with the chicken pox together with a bunch of healthy kids and not
all of them will get sick." But that is not the case with computer viruses.

Data Warehousing
Words: 2756 / Pages: 11 .... is done about these issues varies by organization, I
believe the best advice to data warehouse implementers is to do your best
to spot these issues early and then pick your battles wisely.
I recommend that you read Marc Demarest's The Politics of Data
Warehousing in conjunction with this paper. In his June 1997 paper, Marc
comments on how little extended discussion of politics there is in the data
warehousing literature. As of the writing of this paper, to the best of my
knowledge, that situation still has not changed. This in unfortunate
because ambitious data warehousing projects are rife with political issues.
My working definition of a data w .....

The Internet
Words: 1903 / Pages: 7 .... over the management of the Internet. Now the Internet is growing faster
than any other telecommunications system ever built. It is estimated that in
three years, the system will be used by over 100 million people (Cooke 61).
Since the World Wide Web (WWW or W3) became popular through point-and-click
programs that made it easier for non-technical people to use the Internet, over
21,000 businesses and corporations have become accessible through the Internet
(Baig 81). These companies range from corporate giants like IBM, AT&T, Ford and
J.C. Penny, to small law firms. "With the Internet, the whole globe is one
marketplace and the Internet's in .....

stalled the investigations even more, until finally in August of 1993, (Check
