- 321: A Computer For All Students
- SOUNDOFF--A Computer for All Students--Revisited The introduction of the graphing calculator has changed the structure of teaching and learning mathematics. This made it possible for everybody to receive the benefits of a computer-generated visualization without the high cost of a computer. These graphing calculators over the years have lowered in cost, became easier to use, and are more portable. The next generation of graphing computers has arrived with the recent introduction of the Texas Instrument ...
- 322: Quantum Computers Fact -or- Fantasy?
- Quantum Computers Fact -or- Fantasy? Imagine a computer whose memory is exponentially larger than its apparent physical size; a computer that can manipulate an exponential set of inputs simultaneously; a computer that computes in the twilight zone of space. You would be thinking of a quantum computer. Relatively few and simple concepts from quantum mechanics are needed to make quantum computers a possibility. The subtlety ...
- 323: IOMEGA CORPORATION: DATA STORA
- ... THE NEW MILLENIUM Introduction The purpose of this report is to examine the Iomega Corporation, based in Roy, Utah, for the BA 201 ‘V Survey of Business course at Birmingham-Southern College.

The media frenzy surrounding the release of the drives was further fueled by honors awarded by computing magazines PC Computing and Gadget Guru. The Jaz drive was named 1996‘¦ ...
- 324: Functionalism According To Fod
- ... symbols to yield certain results. Thus, if the same symbols yielded the same results in two separate systems, then the mental states can be seen as similar, or even identical. Along this vein, consider a computer programmed with the same reasoning process as a mind. When the input "B" is entered, the output depends both upon "B" and upon the state of the system resulting from the computation of "A." If the computer was programmed with the exact same reasoning process as a mind, then the result would be the same. Thus, the mental state of the mind would be indistinguishable from the systemic state of the computer. The computer metaphor upholds the theory of functionalism because the output is the result of interaction between the input and the current state of the system. The metaphor also demonstrates the insignificance of the ...
- 325: IBM's Dominance of the Computer Industry
- IBM's Dominance of the Computer Industry The dominance that IBM enjoyed over the computer industry from the mid-1950's to the mid-1970's was not achieved primarily through superior technology, but through superior marketing and customer service. IBM realized that customer were interested in solutions to problems ... computers were modular in design, which made them easier to transport and set up on site. In fact, IBM set the size of its components to fit into standard elevators. By contrast, the first UNIVAC computer spent the first several months of its life in the Philadelphia plant in which it was built because it could not be moved to the Census Bureau. However, it was IBM's background as ...
- 326: Crime and Gangs In America
- Crime and Gangs In America Our readings blamed crime on: (1) social, physical and/or political environments; (2) lack of education; (3) joblessness; (4) injustice; (5) inequalities; (6) the lack of religious upbringing; and (7) psychological defects, including genetic disorders. I think those are the "ghosts" of crime. If lack of education was a cause for one turning to crime, then we would have to account for the tens of thousands, of people throughout history in America and the world who never ...

- 328: The Computer Revolution
- The Computer Revolution If I were to make a history book of the years from 1981 to 1996, I would put computers on the cover. Computers, you may ask?, Yes computers, because if there were suddenly no ... in their daily routine, because power plants use computers to control the production of electricity. Computers have evolved extreme rapidly in the past fifteen years. Ten years ago, all that you could do with a computer, was primarily make mathematical calculations and type documents, but doing that required typing in a series of complex codes that took a great deal of training to learn. Then the Apple computer company took this complex computer language and evolved it to a simpler system of computer language using words that made sense in their context. This system was called BASIC. BASIC was a major development ...
- 329: Observation of a Computer
- Observation of a Computer As I was sitting in my dorm room, procrastinating the composition of this paper by playing solitaire on my computer, an idea struck my mind. Why not analyze the components that allow me to play solitaire. The main box, which weighs 20.2 pounds, houses all of the major components. It resembles a rectangular bow ... gives way to a light blue gray power button. Above the button but still within the oval are three small icons. The first icon has the shape of a moon which lights up when the computer is in sleep mode. The second icon, which resembles a 3-dimensional cylinder, lights up whenever the C.P.U. (Central Processing Unit) is called upon to processing information. The final of the three ...
- 330: The Year 2000 Computer Problem
- The Year 2000 Computer Problem Less than two years until the year 2000. Two seemingly small digits may turn January 1, 2000 from a worldwide celebration into a universal nightmare. With computers mistaking the year 2000 for 1900, virtually ... be affected. Not only will the companies be affected, but they are paying millions upon millions of dollars in order for computers to recognize the difference between the years 2000 and 1900. The year 2000 computer bug is a huge problem that our world must face. In order to explain how to solve the "millennium bug", it is a good idea to be informed about exactly what the year 2000 problem ... well. "We programmed computers to store the date in the following format: dd/mm/yy. This only allows 2 digits for the year. January 1, 2000 would be stored as 01/01/00. But the computer will interpret this as January 1, 1900- not 2000" (de Jager 1). The '19' is "hard-coded" into computer hardware and software. Since there are only 2 physical spaces for the year in this ...
