... if illegal activities are taking place in regards to people under the legal age. As well, it is difficult to completely delete speech once it has been posted, Meaning that distributing materials that are obscene are banned becomes easy The American Library Association (ALA) has a definition that states censorship is “the change in the access status of material, made by a governing authority or its representatives. Such changes include: exclusion, restriction, remove, or age/grade level changes.” This definition, however, has a flaw in that it only recognizes one form of censorship-governmental censorship. Cyberspace, a common name for the Net, has been defined by one author as bein ...

... designs were discovered. These new designs allowed for the precision cutting of hardwood, softwood, with the grain, against the grain, and even raked out the unwanted sawdust. These saws differed in the layout of the teeth. Instead of the jawbone patter the teeth were placed in a "left-right-angled" pattern, to rake the sawdust, and were placed at different distances depending on the substance being cut. As these handsaws progressed and continued to make the job of the wood worker less difficult logger began to take interest in the idea of a saw. This led to the invention of the large two-handled tree saw, which replaced the ax. This saw was made so that two men operated it, one on ea ...

... of a communication network that could survive a nuclear attack. It continued simply because the DOD, DOD's contractors, and the universities found that it provided a very convenient way to communicate (Wendell). The ARPANET was a success from the very beginning. Although originally designed to allow scientists to share data and access remote computers, e-mail quickly becomes the most popular application. The ARPANET became a high-speed digital post-office as people used it to collaborate on research projects and discuss topics of various interests. By 1971 the ARPANET grew to 23 hosts connecting universities and government research centers around the country ("Net Timeline."). In 1973 ...

... One of the first computer storage devices was the magnetic tape drive. Magnetic tape is a sequential data storage medium. To read data, a tape drive must wind through the spool of tape to the exact location of the desired information. To write, the tape drive encodes data sequentially on the tape. Because tape drives cannot randomly access or write data like disk drives, and are thus much slower, they have been replaced as the primary storage device with the hard drive. The hard drive is composed of thin layers of rigid magnetic platters stacked on top of one another like records in a jukebox, and the heads that read and write data to the spinning platters resemble the arm of a record ...

... Internet. The question of censorship may also be raised in some unexpected places: one newsgroup is the rec.humor list, which is a collection of jokes submitted to subscribers. There are straightforwardly rude jokes but others are politically incorrect, focusing on sexual stereotypes, mothers-in-law, women and so on. It has been suggested (Interpersonal Computing and Technology, 1994) that discretionary warning labels could be attached to potentially offensive material. With warning labels like those on records this may serve to whet appetites. Warning labels involve some sort of judging and then the question is raised as to who shall be the judge. The Internet is world-wide so would the F ...

... sold the Apple I board for $666.66 at the Home brew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California. In 1977 the Apple II is available to the general public. Fully assembled and pretested, it includes 4K of standard memory, and comes equipped with two game paddles and a demo cassette. The price is $1,298. Customers use their own TV set as a monitor and store programs on audio cassette recorders. Compare this price with computers today. The price about the same, but the computer has changed tremendously. In 1979 Apple II+ is introduced, available with 48K of memory and a new auto-start ROM for easier startup and screen editing for $1,195. Apple II Pascal is also released. In 1980 Apple FORTRA ...

... in space. The HST was finally launched aboard the STS-31 mission of the space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Shortly after its launch in 1990, an error was found in the HST main mirror, which caused the telescope to operate improperly. The main mirror was shaped too flat toward the edge of the lens itself. This caused the images to appear as a blur upon use of the telescope. The mirror could not be fixed. So to correct the problem, scientists developed a corrective lens, similar to a contact lens, to compensate for the error. The lens was finally installed in 1993 and compensated exactly for the improper curvature in the primary mirror. In December 1999, another problem arose with ...

... or toilet paper on your shoe. But you knew that already. While screen shots from PlayStation2 titles filter in from Japan, we are all, of course, duly impressed. No one will doubt the power of Sony's newest behemoth, or the sheer beauty of its games. Titles such as Ridge Racer V, Tekken Tag Tournament,Dead or Alive 2, Dark Cloud, Gran Turismo 2000 and Onimusha are graphical masterpieces -- but then, so are games on the DC. Thes PlayStation2 titles are, by no means, the Dreamcast killers they've been made out to be. The hype has been such that everyone somehow accepts the notion that the advent of the PlayStation2 signals the end of Sega's little white miracle. This is clearly not so; ...

By 1989, that number jumped to 500 prosecutions. that year cost businesses and banks and, ultimately, consumers about $500 million. "As the use of computers has increased, so has their criminal misuse" (Parker 54:G13). Computers are used to obtain credit card numbers, which are then used to order thousands of dollars worth of whatever the hackers want. "In recent years, individual outlaws and entire "gangs" have broken into computers all over the U.S., using their wits and wiles to pilfer and destroy data"(Francis p62). In a case of a 14-year-old high school freshman that was convic ...
