... of soviet attacks that they must live with everyday are uncomprehending. He says the United States is no more distant from catastrophe than the Germans, for he states that Americans experience of war in the past has created an attitude of "it can't happen here" to grow. Weizenbaum tries to say the military is not an evil or technology is not evil because it has been adopted by the military, but we are becoming increasingly militarized. I think he states this in an effort not to make direct negative statements towards the government in fear of the possibility of prosecution.

... glass rods to illuminate the bodies' cavities. In 1895, french engineer Henry Saint-Rene designed a system of bent glass rods for guiding light images in an attempt at early television. In 1898, American David Smith applied for a patent on a bent glass rod device to be used as a surgical lamp. In the 1920's, Englishmen John Logie Baird and American Clarence W. Hansell patented the idea of using arrays of transparent rods to transmit images for television and facsimiles respectively.

... others use them for protection. We still have as many wars as we did in the past, but now the new technology used in them helps bring about more casualties. Could this be crueler than our ancestors. Besides the wars, society has not grown in understanding other people. There is still prejudice today. Many hate groups like the KKK are still around today, and many new ones have come into being. In the past when our country was just starting to be formed, there were prejudices just because people were different. Over 100 years later, people haven't changed much, and there is still prejudice, making one wonder if we have become civilized yet. Technically ...
... been heard of before has been spotted. As John Welch, the assistant secretary of Air Force said, "Stealth gives us back that fundamental element of war called surprise" (Goodall 9). After it was found that aircraft could be very useful in war, it was used for large scale reconnaissance. Then people started to add bombs to aircraft and then airplanes started to become an essence of war. After World War 2, new bombers were developed with fast speed, and could travel far distances. They could also carry nuclear bombs and missiles. The use of the bomber aircraft then led to the fighter, which was equipped with guns and missiles. Helicopters were also found to be ...
... final stage of the waterfall cycle was completed. During the 1970’s, a new approach was developed. Tom Demarco, is his book, Structured Analysis and System Specification, introduced model-based software engineering. 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, a ...
... to have. One of the lead articles outlined this concern and dispelled the rumor that China would censor the paper when the city is turned over in July. The Morning Post is a very up to date paper that features an updated breaking news sidebar. A very useful and inviting feature which enables it to keep up with and often scoop the broadcast media. The newspaper also had a technology section which caters to the on-line user. The post also utilizes the use of java script to make it seem more like an interactive medium.

... doing math or accounting etc. on Windows 3.1 or older software, are just as susceptible to this "bug." Can this be repaired in time? For some, it is already too late. A system that is devised to cut an annual federal deficit to 0 by the year 2002 is already in "hot water." Data will become erroneous as the numbers "just don't add up" anymore. Some PC owners can upgrade their computer's BIOS (or complete operating system) and upgrade the OS (operating system) to Windows 95, this will set them up for another 99 years. Older software however, may very well have to be replaced or at the very least, upgraded. The year 2000 has become a two-fold problem. ...
... operating system than MS-DOS. formed their headquarter in Redmond, Washington, In the same year, its stock went public and started at $21 per share. The updated version of Windows operating system went on sale in 1990 and five years later the complete makeover version named Windows 95 was launched. And now the much debated and controversial program called Windows 98 was launched last June. (Martin, et al., 1995) Why did the Windows 98 program become so controversial? Due to the fact that Windows program has been used on ninety percent of all the PCs in the world, and utilized such advantage to include Internet Explorer program. Internet Explorer program ...
... was abbreviated. An example would be that 1951 would be abbreviated as 51. So, as a result, computers will read 00 and think it's 1900 and not 2000. This seemingly small problem will result in a loss of most records and information kept in computers causing a major headache for government agencies and major businesses, not to mention all home owners and other people. Gina Smith writes in a August 1998 issue of Popular Science about the fixing of the problem "You are probably wondering why the problem is so hart to fix. It isn't It's just that there's so much to be fixed. Updating software to handle the new century is sometimes a matter of culling through millio ...
... rate is virtually the same. Furthermore, data files and computer applications can be sent via e-mail. Unfortunately, physical packages such as gifts or magazines cannot be attached to e-mail. On the other hand, the postal service can send any kind of physical package, from a magazine to a pool table, for a price proportional to its size. In addition, the postal service can also transfer data if it is placed on a disk or a CD-ROM. However, speed is a problem, thus origin of the term snail-mail. For example, The smallest letter can take from two days to two weeks to deliver, depending on the locations of the sender and the receiver. Even sending a letter to t ...
