Cavemen probably used stones and twigs to mark a trail when they set out hunting for food. The earliest mariners followed the coast closely to keep from getting lost. When navigators first sailed into the open ocean, they discovered they could chart their course by following the stars. The a .....

Number of words: 1935 - Number of pages: 8.... so they start to look what the impostor is doing. Cliff hooks up a
few computers to the line that comes from the Tymnet. Tymnet is a series of
fiber-optic cables that run from a major city to another major city. So if you
were in LA and wanted to hook up to a computer in the Big Apple you could call
long distance, have a lot of interference from other callers and have a slow
connection, or you could sign-up to Tymnet and dial locally, hop onthe optic
cable and cruise at a T-3 line. The lab had only five Tymnet lines so Cliff
could easily monitor every one with five computers, teletyp .....

Bulletproof Vests
Number of words: 366 - Number of pages: 2.... of the bullet revolutionized the use of modern body armor.
The function of steel or hard plastic armor is to be impervious to
a bullet. The function of ceramic armor is to slow the bullet abruptly by
the hardness of the ceramic and to dissipate the bullet's energy as it
destroys the armor at the point of impact; the tiles or plates of ceramic
bulletproof vest thus have to be replaced once they have stopped a bullet.
The textile vest deforms the bullet and then dissipates its energy,
entangling it in the vest's many layers.
A textile bulletproof vest is fashioned of sixteen to .....

The History Of Electronic Musical Instruments
Number of words: 2148 - Number of pages: 8.... be possible to be produced in a natural setting.
In the years following the first electronic instruments and synthesizers was what was called the “Digital Era”. Employing computers to do operations similar to that of electronic devices required conversion of an electronic signal, called an analogue signal, to a series of 1’s and 0’s that computers use to calculate information, hence the term digital.
Seeming that the computers allowed musicians to arrange synthesized sounds and samples (various snippets of a recording) in a way never before fathomable, it was only a natural reacti .....

What Should And Shouldn't Computer Be Allowed To Run
Number of words: 521 - Number of pages: 2.... With this system, one single lawyer program
could be provided to everyone so that the process of dispensing justice is much
more fair. What about a judge and jury? Could a computer replace them? Is it
right for a computer to pronounce sentence on an individual?
Because computers don't have any kind of actual thought or will, some
jobs would be perfect for computers. Security would be a good job for a
computer to handle. People like their privacy and don't want to be watched over
by someone all the time. If computers could tell if a crime is happening
without a human to point it out, .....

Technological Development And The Third World
Number of words: 1556 - Number of pages: 6.... on the local people. .
DEVELOPMENT: "WESTERN" STYLE
When I refer to "the environment", I mean not only the habitat that
humans, plants and animals inhabit, but also the physical, emotional and
psychological attitudes that are encompassed by these in their daily existence.
Development, by my definition, will consequently refer to the technological
advancement of a community as well as the improved status of humans and other
species. This is my definition, and one that others employ frequently now.
However, the model I will be examining first is the development theory based on
the economic .....

How Technology Effects Modern America

exceeds the demand for their services," says L. Mishel, Research Director of
Welfare Reform Network. In view of these facts, I wonder if these trends are
good or bad for society. "The danger of the information age is that while in
the short run it may be cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long
run it is potentially self-destructive because there will not be enough
purchasing power to grow the economy," M. B. Zuckerman. My feeling is that the
trend from unskilled labor to highly technical, skilled labor is a good one!
But, political action m .....
