- ... of the document. This is a major problem and the obvious solution is to chop the information up into smaller pieces and then transmit the smaller pieces2. Then another problem was realized, how does the computer know where to put these small bits of information? The solution to that was what has come to be known as packet-switching (PS). In PS, the entire document is sent in a bunch of tiny packets, these packets contain the information of the document wrapped in its placement on the page. The receiving computer then sends a message back to the transmitting computer telling it which packets were corrupted or missing and the transmitting computer then re-sends the lost information3. The next problem that the Internet faced was first discovered at the ARPAs networking project, ...

One reasons for this effect is thought to be due in part to the reality that kids in recent decades were not brought up playing with their toy trucks in the dirt outside, but with computer and video games. Each new generation is raised with a greater knowledge and understanding of technology, what its possibilities are and what it can do for them. So future skilled labor will be of a ... site every several months or work sixteen hour days in the hot sun. As a consequence, smart machines will then be required to perform many tasks without an operator, but though the direction of a computer system controlled by someone in an office perhaps hundreds of miles away from the job site. Another abstract reason is due in part to society as a whole. Society expects things to be done faster ... Lastly, people are continuingly asking themselves, How can we make life easier? Why work outside in the hot sun on hot machinery, when one could work in an air-conditioned office in front of a computer. As briefly stated previously, many construction workers currently work the occasional sixteen hour day and more often than not, well above the standard eight hour day. This puts an extreme hardship on themselves and ...
- 645: The Death Penalty
- ... become an increasingly controversial issue over many decades. The problem lies between, is the death penalty being accepted in murder cases or ruled out completely.

This experiment was done using a computer generated program on verbal learning. Using this program, the subject was presented with seven items of stimuli (CVC) and was to remember what each stimuli was in the correct order. It was found that there ... CVC) that caused this to occur. The design of this experiment on verbal learning has both within- subject and between-subject variables. The within-subject variables are the words (CVC) that are stored in the computer which are the default words to be used. The between-subject variables are the number of stimuli used and the choice of the stimuli using the experimenters own words (CVC). The independent variable for this ... condition.

Most supporters of the death penalty feel that offenders should be punished for their crimes, and that it does not matter whether it will deter the crime rate. Supporters of the death penalty are in favour of making examples out of offenders, and that the threat of death will be enough to deter the crime rate, but the crime rate is irrelevant.
