... are in the same building or are directly adjacent to one another, a communications network run through the telephone system is the most cost-effective approach. A T1 line (the equivalent of 24 standard voice-grade telephone circuits) or a portion of a T1 is required to run high-quality video and audio in two directions. The fiber optic cabling now being installed by telephone companies in many parts of the country has a very high capacity compared to more traditional copper wiring. Videoconferencing will eventually be as practical as placing a telephone call. Wiring used to connect personal computers in local area networks also can be used to conduct videoconferences. A small televisio ...

... "is the right most valued by civilized men (Privacy 441)." A poll taken by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman for Time, states that ninety-five percent of Americans believe that electronic monitoring should not be allowed (Privacy 444). Harriet Ternipsede, who is a travel agent, gave a lengthy testimonial on how electronic monitoring at her job caused her undue stress and several health problems including muscle aches, mental confusion, weakened eyesight, severe sleep disturbance, nausea, and exhaustion. Ternipsede was later diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (Electronic 446). A study done by the University of Wisconsin found that eighty-seven percent of employees ...
... Demarco thought that complex software systems should be built like any large, complex engineering system, by first building working paper models of the system before committing the resources for implementation. This allowed the user to visualize the future system. Most modern approaches have integrated some form of Demarco’s philosophy. The variation in approaches is based on the kinds of models that should be built, how they should be built, and who should build them. A generic model-based software-engineering life cycle is demonstrated in Appendix 1-A. A concept that is reflected in most model-based software-engineering models is the concept of a ‘Separation of Concerns’. ...
... sending electronic mail (today, it is understood as Email). The United States government then helped pushed the evolution of the Internet, calling the project: Information Super Highway (Groiler..). In the early 1990's the trend then boomed. Businesses soon connected to the Internet, and started using the Internet as a way of saving money through advertising products and electronic mailing (Abbot). Communications between different companies also arose due to the convenience of the Internet. Owners of personal computers soon became eager to connect to the Internet. Through a modem or Ethernet adapter (computer hardware devices that allow a physical connection to Internet), ...
... age has been a period that has allowed rights to privacy to beocme seriously jeopardized by new information technologies. Richard A. Spinello, has defined two distinct phases to the systematic erosion of information privacy. The first he calls the 'data base phase'. The emergence of sophisticatd data base technology in the early eighties made it possible to store and retrieve large amounts of information efficiently and economically. During this time, considerable amounts of personal data were transfered to computerized records, which have been stored on record. Another implicator in the invasion of privacy has been what is described as a 'network phase', in ...
... China, and India were founded upon a stationary, river-based agricultural system ("Agriculture" Encarta 1999). Similarly, technological advances in the field of agriculture in more recent times have led not only to improved farming techniques and productivity, but have had the far-reaching effects of allowing man the freedom to concentrate his energies on industry and cultural advancement, rather than mere subsistence living. To fully understand the advances made in and resulting from agriculture since the seventeenth century, it is necessary to examine the agricultural technology and degree of civilization existent during that period. Up to this point in European history, manor ...
... cards are being used at a university in Georgia to allow students to get their meals, and in a Maryland day care center to ensure that the right person picks up the right child. In Los Angeles, they are using fingerprints to stop welfare fraud. And they're also being used by frequent business travellers for rapid transit through immigration and customs in Holland, and now at JFK and Newark airports in the United States. It could also be used to simply prevent one employee from "punching in" for some one else, or to prevent someone from opening up an account at a bank using a false name. Then there is also the security access market, access to computer databases, to premises and a ...
... "some" is largely unknown. Water treatment facilities, food & farming, defense, transportation, hospitals & emergency service, power, banking, law enforcement, communications, fuel, and government are all things in question. Experts have testified before banking subcommittees that any major firm that has not already completed its assessment can not hope to become Y2K compliant by January 1, 2000. None of the utilities that were surveyed were assured after making inquiries that their suppliers, venders, and servicers would be Y2K compliant. Utilities are highly dependent on servicers, suppliers, and other upstream activities to transmit, and distribute gas and electricity. In fact, many pow ...
... are frequently involved in computer crimes that take the form of trespassing, invasion of privacy, or vandalism. Quite often they are mearly out for a fun and games evening, and they get entangled in the illegal use of their machines without realizing the full import of what they are doing", I have a hard time believing that so lets see what a "hacker" has to say about what he does "Just as they were enthraled with their pursuit of information, so are we. The thrill of the hack is not in breaking the law, it's in the pursuit and capture of knowledge.", as you can see the "hacker" doesn't go out to do destroy things although some do. It's in the pursuit of knowledge. Of course this i ...
