... sole television network of public stations. Collectively, educational establishments, community organizations or state and municipal groups, operate approximately 350 member stations. All public television stations highlight the importance of illuminating cultural and educational programming, as well as distinguished programs on nature, science, and public affairs. In PBS: Behind the Screen, Laurence Tarvik depicts this unique organisation as "a $5 million appropriation" which over time, became a "multi-billion worldwide multi-media empire" (xvii). Over four decades, PBS has become a leader in using technology to further its educational objective, such as, closed captioning, stereo ...

... illegal means. It is said that at any given time the average American has his name on an active file in over 550 computer information databases of which nearly 90% are online, and of the 550 databases the number comes no where close to how many time your personal information is listed in some database in an unactive file. The "Average American" could simply sit in his/her home doing nearly nothing all day long and still have his/her name go through over 1,000 computers a day. All of these vast information files all hold the crucial ones and zero's of data that make up your life as you and all others know it. All of these data bits, at the hands 100,000's of people. With little or NO ce ...

... movie theatre on Macleod Trail, entertainment has been an integral part of human existence. With the development of the computer, the creation of a vast number of entertaining opportunities has materialized. Games, for example, serve as a powerful mind entrancing form of entertainment. Civilization, Leisure Suit Larry, Warcraft, Quake, Doom95 and Command & Conquer are just a few games that bring hours of entertainment to the magician. With use of a sound blaster and quality speakers, music can be played through your computer's CD-ROM. This enables you to listen to music while you spend time on your Pentium, easily switching CDs without having to get up from your seat. Some migh ...

... Bugging an office is a relatively simple process if one follows a few basic steps. First, a person needs to select the bug. There are many different types of bugs ranging from the infinity bug with which you can listen in on a telephone conversation from over 200 miles away to an electaronic laser beam which can pick up the vibrations of a person's voice off a window pane. The infinity bug sells for $1,000 on the black market and the laser for $895. Both, however, are illegal. Second, one needs to know where to plant the bug. A bug can be hidden in a telphone handset, in the back of a desk drawer, etc. The important thing to remember is to place the bug in a ...

... in democratic constitutions and international laws (Silencing the Net…). It would be a breach of the First Amendment. The Constitution of the united States of America Declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to asse3mble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" (Constitution). Therefore it would be unconstitutional for any sort of censorship to occur on the Internet. Even though it is illegal, restrictions on Internet access and content are increasing worldwide under all forms of government. I ...

... not the case."(Sharp, 18:3) It is believed that the computer criminal "often marches to the same drum as the potential victim but follows and unanticipated path."(Blumenthal, 1:2) There is no actual profile of a computer criminal because they range from young teens to elders, from black to white, from short to tall. Definitions of computer crime has changed over the years as the users and misusers of computers have expanded into new areas. "When computers were first introduced into businesses, computer crime was defined simply as a form of white-collar crime committed inside a computer system."(2600:Summer 92,p.13) Some new terms have been added to the computer criminal v ...

... 2, the T800 is a multipurpose cyborg assigned to save John Connor, given a series of “mission parameters,” initially characterized by his computer logic. He often advises John based on permutations of the T1000's next move, similar to the way a chess computer decides what move to make next. Just as the T800 is designed to perform solely as a unemotional computer, the ‘replicants' in Blade Runner are designed to work in slavery without protest. Since it's remarked in Blade Runner that humans develop emotions by existing for a period of time, it is predicted that replicants could not develop emotions in their four year life span. So it's easy for the society in Blade Runner to equate re ...

... in educational institutions. Designed and built using modern computer technology, modern software engineering techniques, and validated algorithms and databases, it will allow units world-wide to train using their organizational equipment. A key feature of the system will be its use of technology to minimize the total Army's overhead associated with supporting training. The system will be designed to meet emerging Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) standards and protocols to facilitate linkages with DIS compliant simulators and live training events. b. The WARSIM 2000 simulation system will consist of, or use, several components: (1) Computer-based battle simulation mod ...

... you begin to read some of its clauses. One of the biggest groups that combated this issue was the CIEC, or Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition. The CIEC soon began to find problems with this bill as the so maticulously stated on their web site "It is also important to note that the CDA is not about child pornography, obscenity, or using the Internet to stalk children. These are already illegal under current law."(CIEC) The article then states "instead, the CDA prohibits posting "indecent" or "patently offensive" materials in a public forum on the Internet -- including web pages, newsgroups, chat rooms, or online discussion lists."(CIEC) This law would prohibit "texts of classic ...
