Wireless communications via the inventions of radio, television ... advent of the personal home computer. Pumping life into this otherwise material home appliance is software that incorporates the necessary commands to access information stored within the computer's memory.

- 5264: The Lady Of Shalott -
- ... Alfred Tennyson s poem starts out with the total seclusion of the beautiful, young Lady of Shalott surrounded by four grey walls, and four grey towers . (Tennyson, line 15).

Reasons for a self inflicted seclusion might be homophobia, the fear of rejection by the exterior world, or simply a lack of interest for it.

This newfound global network, originally called Arconet, was developed and funded solely by and for the U.S ... Internet and therefore am a firm believer in Internet censorship. However, the question at hand is just how much censorship the government impose. Because the Internet has become the largest source of information in the world, legislative safeguards are indeed imminent. Explicit material is not readily available over the mail or telephone and distribution of obscene material is illegal. Therefore, there is no reason this stuff should go unimpeded across the ... as well as the ability to forge a document with someone else's address. If the government didn't have ulterior motives, they would mandate encryption, not outlaw it. As the Internet grows throughout the world, more governments may try to impose their views onto the rest of the world through regulations and censorship. If too many regulations are enacted, then the Internet as a tool will become nearly useless, ...

The publication of The Grapes of Wrath caused a nationwide uproar. This account of the migrant workers was taken more of a social document than as fiction. Some saw it as "a distorted call to revolution." As stated in Masterpieces of World Literature, "As a social document, the novel presents such a vivid picture of oppression and misery that one tends to doubt its authenticity." Daryl F. Zanuck even hired private detectives to verify Steinbeck's story ... the migrant people by trying to organize them even though he knows this involves him in great personal danger.

He writes in the first ... moral codes. While Transcendentalism acknowledges that humans have sin, it moves away from the salvation of one’s self in the eyes of God and works towards an understanding of one’s place in the world. The devine lies in all humans, not just a select few. Therefore, each person potentially can dig deep enough into her consciousness, amend the sin, and finally, move away, purified and ready to be with ... light and darkness, in solitude and before the gaze of multitudes, and as with strangers, so with my familiar friends.
