- 3072: The Trial by Kafka and The Stranger by Camus: Flaws and Failures of the Judicial System
- ... specifics about each trial and the different flaws are entirely different, however. The purpose of the plot in The Trial is to show the downfalls of a judicial system that is run without the public’s knowledge or input. Kafka wants the reader see the flaws in their judicial system and to become actively involved in the judicial reforms. He wants the reader to see that these flaws should not just be brushed off as mere inconveniences. He uses K. to show the life-altering (and in K.’s case, life-ending) effects that judicial flaws can have on the public. His arrest, his search for answers, and his trial and eventual execution all show this.

Most Mexicans believe that they shouldn’t trust anybody, especially the police.

The parents of Sonya and Macky gave them a set of rules which were “Rule one: never talk to strangers, not even the neighbor who paced up and down the hallways talking to himself. Rule two: the police, or “polie” as Sonya’s popi pronounced the word, was La Migra in disguise and thus should always be avoided. Rule three: keep your key with you at all times-the four walls of the apartment were the only protection ... against the streets until Popi returned home.” All these rules made them frightened because they felt that the migra was going to get them. Since they had just moved to this big city they didn’t know their way around. Sonia and Macky only knew their way home, but on their way home she noticed that her key was gone and traced back her footsteps to find the key. While ...

- 3076: The Y2K Problem
- ... change our lives. Surely, no one would have thought that in the early days of ENIAC that everything from your alarm clock to your car would be computerized. Even the IT managers of the 80's could not be blamed: The disk space savings from dropping the two digits of the date over 100 Million Records would represent almost 200 Megabytes! Space requirements aside, overhead on search times and disk loading ... almost never the case. Regardless where you address the problem from, the year 2000 problem is a huge, expensive and international one. In many cases it is a problem lined with doubt as to it's effects.

What, specifically, _is_ this "millennia virus" to begin with? ...

- Kerouac's On the Road: Living in Clip "The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same ... thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!' "(Blue Neon Alley 1). Kerouac's quote captures the essence of his life and his extraordinary experiences which he includes in his frank literary achievement, On the Road. Most sit down and read this work only to find a crazed novel ... every-man; although, there is a sense of fury, of exploration, in this euphoric masterpiece. During a time when the "clean cut all American" image was exceedingly popular and authors had manufactured literature like model-T's on an assembly line, the so-called "Beat Generation," particularly Jack Kerouac from Lowell, Massachusetts, changed America's interpretation of literature altogether.
