- 1893: What Is Phreaking Exactly

- 1894: Jurassic Park: The Novel vs.The Film
- ... years old in the novel and Lex is about nine. In the film though, the children are opposite ages as are their skills and interests. In the film Lex is twelve years old and has computer skills, in the novel she is nine and greatly immature. This rearrangement occurs I believe because in the novel, Tim is the older sibling. In the film, Lex is shown as the older, computer literate sister. This, I believe is to signify a woman's role in modern times. Another example is the death of mathematician Ian Malcolm. In the film, Malcolm escapes in much the same manner as ...

- 1897: What Is Postmodernism
- ... the conventional sense of the word, meaning a major conflict between two military powers. Once again we were sold images that we accepted. Even the fighter pilots did not face their enemy, but merely saw computer-generated images on a screen. And so, unlike Lyotard, Baudrillard sees society as leading meaningless lives. Like Lyotard he sees society as being made up of diversity, with boundaries falling in all kinds of areas ... is taking place where five people have been locked in a hotel room with merely Internet access to provide food and clothing. Capitalism is evolving again replacing the workforce with a new cheaper slave, the computer. Post-modernism will continue to redefine itself as time continues.

- ... SPECT. The CAT is an acronym for Computerized Axial Tomography. This method of scanning generally involves X-rays and enables scientists to view the inside of the head in a three dimensional format on a computer screen.

PET machines bombard the subject with doses of positrons -- the anti-matter equivalents of the electrons. As the ... enter the body, they encounter electrons which are escaping from radioactive elements which have been injected into the bloodstream. When the positrons and the electrons collide, they give off energy which is recorded by a computer. The result is a far more detailed 3-D picture of the brain than the one obtained from the CAT machine. To obtain an even better image, physicians use the MRI, which stands for Magnetic ...

- 1900: Violent Behavior in Society
- ... on TV, nobody says anything about it. Most of the time we accept it because it is police; some "higher power". There is no logic here! Police; representatives of the law; are alowed to comite crime...? Society simply gives them a permit to do it by accepting it. WE HAVE TO ask for justice or otherwise we will create another wrong message. Finally, we have "everyday " violence. We see it on the streets: roberies, shootings, fights, etc. Most of the time when it happens people do not react!
