.... stories, Profession, Asimov writes about people being educated by computer programs designed to educate 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 ....

.... all households. The reasoning, or thesis, of the article is the question of whether the Web should be used for information purposes, or for a new marketplace in this expanding goldmine of information. The potential for businesses is enormous. Fifteen million people is a very large consumer marketplace. Consumers are not the only ones "surfing" around for info. Businesses also focus on other companies to sell their products. General Electric sold machine and appliance parts using a new business to business technology called "extranet". GE used its successful "extranet" to roll in 1996 online sales of one billion dollars. Another very successful type of business on the net is ....

.... are really not crimes at all. What they choose to deny is that the nature of their actions are slowly consuming the fabric of our country’s moral and ethical trust in the information age. Federal law enforcement agencies, as well as commercial computer companies, have been scrambling around in an attempt to "educate" the public on how to prevent computer crime from happening to them. They inform us whenever there is an attack, provide us with mostly ineffective anti-virus software, and we are left feeling isolated and vulnerable. I do not feel that this defensive posture is effective because it is not pro-active. Society is still being attacked by highly skilled compu ....

.... Hacker /n. / 1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary (Rootshell). Over the last few years, computer security has received a great deal of more attention than it has in the past. Computerized break-ins and criminal activity, have become fairly common occurrences in both commercial and academic circles. Hackers are becoming more common, and quickly learning new techniques and methods, which no longer leave computer systems as 'safehouses'. The question of "what kind of person is a Hacker?" cannot be answered simply ....

.... the company newsletter, and in some cases, complete control of company operations. In today's extremely competitive business environment businesses are searching for ways to improve profitability and to maintain their position in the marketplace. As competition becomes more intense the formula for success becomes more difficult. Two particular things have greatly aided companies in their quests to accomplish these goals. They are the innovative software products of CAD/CAM and, last but not least, the World Wide Web. An important program has aided companies all over the world. Computer- aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) is the integration ....

.... legally in the United States, given permission by the Immigration Naturalization Service (INS). This new law will affect about thirty percent of our CareLink membership population. In order to become compliant with the new law and continue the program, effective July 1st we will begin to ask for citizenship or legal resident documentation before enrolling in the CareLink program. If documentation is not available the patient will be denied membership. (Simmons, Mrs. Juanita to Member Service & Education staff. 13 June 1998. Process Change - Residency Issue.) The communication effort failed via memo in this situation. The memo was typed and distributed June 13th. Th ....

.... to it would be the most regulated public access system in history. What I believe the attempt here is to regulate through censorship. Since it is almost impossible to censor the phone networks without actually eaves dropping on your phone, they have decided to regulate and censor your written word. The danger in this is what you write as an opinion may be construed by that government regulator as a violation of some regulatory act. The flip side to this is if you did this through another medium such as the phone system nothing would ever come it. The bigger question here is how much government do people want in there lives? The Internet was brought into the picture for the ....

.... the visual aspects of the Trespasser world are quite awe-inspiring up close, with lush forests, realistic looking water, and hills and slopes that really give the game a great feeling of being in a lost jungle world. Other technological enhancements include realistic water and realistic interaction between. For instance, if you throw a barrel into a pond, it will float and bob. Throw another barrel at that one, and they will react realistically based on the momentum of the projectile. Throw in a rock, and it will sink. Trespasser also features some interesting sound technology and light sourcing techniques to add to the realistic environment. Working with the reali ....
