Computer System Analysts
Computer System Analysts The Net, a feature film from Sony Pictures, details the high-tech drama of Angela Bennett (played by Sandra Bullock) who is a computer systems analyst. When she accidentally gains access to a classified program, she becomes trapped in a web of mystery and conspiracy. However, the film failed to win over movie audiences and one reason might be that most people in the movie going public are still unaware as to exactly what a computer systems analyst does. According ...

Computer Crime 2
Computer Crime 2 Billions of dollars in losses have already been discovered. Billions more have gone undetected. Trillions will be stolen, most without detection, by the emerging master criminal of the twenty-first century--the computer crime offender. Worst of all, anyone who is computer literate can become a computer criminal. He or she is everyman, everywoman, or even everychild. The crime itself will often be virtual in nature--sometimes recorded, more often not--occurring only on t...

COMPUTER CRIME Hackers and Security Measures
COMPUTER CRIME Hackers and Security Measures Abstract A diffuse group of people often called “hackers” has been characterised as unethical, irresponsible, and a serious danger to society for actions related to breaking into computer systems. In this essay I try to construct a picture of what is and includes a computer crime as well as a portray of hackers, their concerns, and the way in which hacking takes place. What I intend to argue is that, in their majority, hacke...
Can machines think on alan turing’s computer machinery and i
Can machines think on alan turing�s computer machinery and i The imitation of intelligence in isolation from other human attributes seems to be the main point in Alan Turing�s Computer Machinery and Intelligence where he considers the question �Can machines think?� Using his �imitation game� I agree that Turing successfully addresses both this question and clarifies intelligence as separate from humanity. Alan Turing�s Imitation Game is a question and answer style qui...
Carburetion Versus Fuel Injection
Carburetion Versus Fuel Injection Are they making them like they used to? Today as we peer into the twenty-first century, technology is at its prime. We biologically create life, travel to new worlds, and even create new ones within cyberspace. Yet, we do not forget the past. Even today in this technological empire we have created, I still hear the nostalgic words from my father: “They sure don’t make them like they used to.” And in many cases, he is correct. Togethe...

BlueTooth
BlueTooth BLUETOOTH Technology is constantly advancing in all different directions. Some see it as a good thing others see it as a horrible tragedy. Personally I feel that with out technology the quality of the lives we live would still be the same we just would not be able to communicate with each other as easily. Communicating with each other is a very important and vital brick in the building block of our daily lives. Just imagine how much you could get accomplished if you could not com...

Architectural Designs of Castles Vs
Architectural Designs of Castles Vs. Modern Homes Is the architectural design of modern homes slowly changing back to the architectural design of castles in the Middle Ages? If design of homes is changing back to design of castles is it a reflection on our society that castles of the Middle Ages were built primarily for defense. Does this mean that as a society we are tying to pull away from each other? There are many similar characteristics and features between modern homes and castles t...
Battle Of Computer Bytes
Battle Of Computer Bytes Macintosh vs. Windows 95 It used to be that the choice between a Mac and a PC was pretty clear. If you wanted to go for the more expensive, easier to use, and better graphics and sound, you went to buy a Macintosh, for the cheaper price, it was the PC. Now it is a much different show. With the release of Windows 95 and the dynamics of the hardware market have changed the equation. On the other hand, Apple has made great price reductions on many of their co...
A short history on computers
A short history on computers In 1671, Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz invented a computer that was built in 1694. It could add, and, after changing some things around, multiply. While Thomas of Colmar was developing the desktop calculator, a series of very interesting developments in computers was started in Cambridge, England, by Charles Babbage (left, of which the computer store "Babbages" is named), a mathematics professor. With financial help from the British government, Babbage star...
AIBO and Robotics

Amd vs
Amd vs. Intel AMD vs. Pentium A couple of years ago when Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) introduced it’s K5 microprocessor, the phrase “too little, too late” was plastered across their name countless times. At that time, if anyone were to name an underdog to the Intel dominated microprocessor market, Cyrix with their dirt-cheap 5x86 processor would have been the favorite. Intel had been the only processor that could handle day-to-day functions at reasonable speeds. ...
