.... enough to match someone else who knows" (Nine Tomorrows, Profession 55). People would not chose to study, they would only want to be educated by computer tapes. Putting in knowledge would take less time than reading books and memorizing something that would take almost no time using a computer in the futuristic world that Asimov describes. Humans might began to rely on computers and allow them to control themselves by letting computers educate people. Computers would start teaching humans what computers tell them without having any choice of creativity. Computers wou .....

.... calculators. Although Howard’s model was automatic, it was controlled by instructions punched into a roll of paper tape. There was a need for an all-electronic machine. This project was taken up by Dr. J. Presper Eckert Jr., and Dr. John W. Mauchly, with help from a few of their colleagues, in the spring of 1946. For two and a half years, they work diligently to construct a machine called the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator, or ENIAC. This machine was a complex of 500,000 connections that linked over 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighed 30 tons, and occupied a room the .....

.... have to walk through the building, opening doors one at a time to find the briefcase, an ordinary computer has to make it way through long strings of 1’s and 0’s until it arrives at the answer. But what if instead of having to search by yourself, you could instantly create as many copies of yourself as there were rooms in the building all the copies could simultaneously peek in all the offices, and the one that finds the briefcase becomes the real you, the rest just disappear. – (David Freeman, discover ) David Deutsch, a physicist at Oxford University, argued that it may .....

.... anonymity on the Internet and so ages and identities are not known this makes it hard to determine 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 .....

.... like computer viruses and cybercrimes. "There is no single widely-used definition of computer-related crime, [so] computer network users and law enforcement officials must distinguish between illegal or deliberate network abuse versus behavior that is merely annoying. Legal systems everywhere are busily studying ways of dealing with crimes and criminals on the Internet" (Voss, 1996, p. 2). There are ultimately three different views on the hacker controversy. The first is that hacking or any intrusion on a computer is just like trespassing. Any electric medium should b .....

.... do one of two things: freeze up and/or shut down. Date computation functions are used on millions of software applications, thus affecting millions of computers world-wide. It not only affects calculations for interest rates, inventories, or insurance policies, but every major aspect of our modern economic infrastructure. Government agencies, businesses, and financial institutions use software applications that contain date computation functions. The following types of organizations would be affected: utilities, transportation, manufacturing, banking, finance, defense .....

.... was quite a step to be taken by a computer because until then, the only thing a computer could do was add. The computer multiplied by successive adding and shifting (Guides 45). Perhaps the first actual computer was made by Charles Babbage. He explains himself rather well with the following quote: "One evening I was sitting in the rooms of the Analytical Society at Cambridge with a table full of logarithms lying open before me. Another member coming into the room, and seeing me half asleep called out, ‘Well Babbage, what are you dreaming about?', to which I replied, .....

.... work. This bleak picture is probably never going to occur on such a drastic scale, but it has happened to millions of hard working people. One concern is what the people as a whole going to do about losing their jobs. The only real answer to this problem may not be determined for years to come. As automation continues to grow, many people will be negatively affected. My feeling on the entire picture is spit both ways. On the one side, many applications for a machine exist, which man cannot perform. I know that I would not want to be the person that has to tell the pe .....
