Abstract
This paper is about how society has changed due to technology and how much humans depend on technology and what a big part of our lives it is. It discusses how the technological revolution has changed the way we function and looks at our dependency on technology in our day-to-day lives.
From the Paper
"Only a few years ago we were not able to pick up the phone and call our neighbors without the operator's assistance. Parents would have to send telegrams to there children at college to go to the central post office to receive their long-distance phone call. But today is much different. We have come a long way with our new technological advancements. We have gone far beyond just being able to direct dial any country in the world. Going a day without cellular phones, fax machines, computers, and satellites would pose a great challenge. Society has quickly moved into the information age. The information age is a time in which the internet has provided us with endless amounts of information. With the Internet, we have instant access to information, people and an array of services. The internet is almost becoming a necessity in our lives. The personal computer is a necessity in many people's lives. The dependence on computers is growing and the question is, are we too dependent on our computers and the internet?"

From the Paper
"The threat of new entrants into the microcomputer market is relatively low. This is because of the high cost of marketing microcomputers when there is little or no brand identification already established, and because the market share for existing firms is being consolidated. The industry itself has changed considerably from when Gateway 2000 entered the market (the most recent entrant of significance), and the price pressures that exist in the market are likely to discourage companies which do not have a solid financial basis on which to base their entrance (Feibus, 1998, p. 69)."

It then analyzes the general computer industry, focusing on five factors: threat of new entrants, rivalry among existing firms, threat of substitute products, bargaining powers of buyers and bargaining powers of suppliers. Finally, the paper performs a STEP (social, technological, economical and political factors) analysis of Dell Computers.
From the Paper
"The American economy is enjoying a period of stable growth that is characterized by stable interest rates and low inflation. Prices for personal computers have been dropping as manufacturers are eager to gain market share and are able to take advantage of declining cost schedules. In 1998, personal computers could be found in 43 percent of American homes; this represents a substantial increase from the 40 percent for the three years previous. It is estimated that 60 percent of American homes will have personal computers by 2002 as prices continue to decline. The decline in prices makes it possible for increased numbers of Americans to afford the machines; the attractiveness of the Web and other benefits fuels the demand for these lower-priced computers (Burrows, 1998, p. 28)."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of computers and culture, using the book, "Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology" by Neil Postman, and other resources. Specifically, the paper answers the following questions. How have computers and computer networks changed human thinking, behavior, and lifestyle? What has been gained? What has been lost? What are the advantages of computers in communication? In education? In entertainment? In the economy? What are the disadvantages in these areas? Is computer technology creating winners and losers or furthering social stratification? Have we become too dependent on computers? Do computers limit social skills and physical activity to a damaging degree? Why or why not?
From the Paper
"Thus, computers are a large part of our daily lives, and they have forever changed human thinking, behavior, and lifestyle. For example, even ten years ago, computers were still a luxury, especially to lower income families and individuals. However, the prices on computers have dropped dramatically, and today, just about anyone can afford a basic computer. Human thinking and behavior have changed dramatically as computers have "woven their way into the daily fabric" of our lives. Today, you can shop at home on the computer, never setting foot outside your door. You can conduct your business almost entirely by computer, and never see the supplier in Hong Kong or the buyer in Bulgaria. Our lifestyles have become much more sedentary ? we lack of motivation to leave the computer screen, because these screens are mesmerizing, as one historian notes. "Whether as a TV screen or computer monitor, the cathode ray tube remains a two-dimensional mosaic display favoring acoustic simultaneity."

Steve Jackson Games is the kind of insignificant little company that no one pays much attention to. So one can imagine their surprise when they were raided by the U.S. Secret Service. The Austin-based firm produces "Adventure games"--the vaguely nerdy pastime most people know, if at all, by fantasy role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. Lately, company founder Steve Jackson has been wondering whose fantasy he wandered into. Law-enforcement officials confiscated computers, laser printers, IC) and some spare parts from his offices. Their target appeared ... "

Human Rights and Respect for Religion, 2001.
This paper investigates whether or not one can balance human rights with a respect for religious belief.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The universal declaration of human rights is dissected in this paper in order to challenge the notion of human rights and religion interacting cohesively. The three major religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam and their opinions on human rights are carefully examined in this paper, as well as their differences and similarities regarding this issue. Several examples of said human rights violations are described in respect to these religions. This paper tries to find a balance between human rights and respect for religious belief , which depends on the most important human right, the right to choose.
From the Paper
"Judaism, Christianity and Islam have much in common. All are, ?founded on the eternal command to love one God, oneself, and all neighbors. Each tradition recognizes a canonical text as its highest authority- the Bible, the Torah and the Qur?an.? The similarities continue in delegating authority to officials to propagate the faith, the embracing of an expanding body to interpret and enforce the religion?s decree, the presence of a refined legal structure (the canon law, Halakha and Shari?a) and the endeavor of each religion to imbue its religious, ethical and legal values into the daily lives of individuals and communities. Religious laws are not necessarily in breach of human rights so long as the freedom to choose religion or no religion is acknowledged. However, as has happened throughout history and even today, when religious laws are constructed by a state affecting all citizens, their option of a different or no religion becomes impossible."

Apple Computers, 2002.
A paper which examines the reasons why people are dedicated to Apple Computers despite it being second place in the computer market.

Abstract
Unable to compete on either price or selection, Apple has comfortably settled in on being number two in the computer market, but that doesn't negate their being number one in the hearts and minds of those in the know. The paper shows that whether they admit it or not Apple promotes and encourages a cult-like devotion to their products. The paper examines reasons for consumers' devotion to Apple, including its emphasis on individuality, power, ease and community, as well as using classical musician Yo Yo Ma as their spokesperson.
From the Paper
"The Apple world is tidy, clean, and simple. It emphasizes four things, individuality, power ease, and community. It's gone from the incandescent colors of two years ago, when lower-priced IMACS and IBOOKS dominated its pages two years with ibooks back to whites, deep sea blues, and soft grays. It portrays the soft aesthetic of a futuristic world in harmony while maintaining what could be called a neoclassical look. Their style of type, geometrical design conscious of the golden rule of proportion, along with their choices of colors recalls the temples of ancient Greece. That the OSX symbol for their operating system appears countless times like some Latin acronym gives it a Roman look."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"However, much of that idea has changed quite rapidly today. Today the 'Gen 3' machines are all run off of electricity, and they have servo-control so that they are able to tightly synchronize all of the multi-axis movements through many advanced features, such as the possession of electronic gearing and electronic camming (Russell, 2003). The evolution of these particular machines had one intervening phase-- the 'Gen 2' hybrid machines, which employed largely mechanical automation but added the servo control for some of the more critical motions. The generation 2 machines also had a very large installed base and still remain dominant in the industry for many applications (Russell, 2003)."

Human Rights, 2007.
This paper discusses different classifications and types of human rights.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the difference between civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. The writer maintains that the difference between various types of human rights is largely dependent on the various human and societal functions. However, the writer points out that a central difference lies in the classification of the classic and the social main groups. The writer concludes that notwithstanding the many issues surrounding human rights the one integrating factor is that all the various types and classifications of these rights are bound by the underlying foundation of all human rights; namely to promote and protect the rights of the individual in order to create a more equitable and just world.
Outline:
Introduction
First Generation Rights: Civil and Political
Second Generation or Social Rights.
Conclusion
Works Cited
From the Paper
"These different areas fall under various categories such as civil rights, which includes the right to fair legal and trial. Another category aligned to civil rights is political rights, which includes the right to vote. In addition there are other rights that are included under the general rubric of human rights. These refer to economic, social and cultural rights which include, for example, the right to water and adequate housing. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a formal agreement which guarantees all these different types of rights in an international sense.
The division and categorization of the different types of human rights also has a historical context and foundation that helps us to understand the differences between these various categories. It should also be remembered that many of these categories are interrelated."

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion on the ineffectiveness of classroom computers. Billions of dollars are being spent each year nationwide on computers in the classroom and our national test scores are still declining. As long as the machines serve as dust collectors in the back of the classroom, we need to divert what we are spending to better uses. Lack of training, fast paced advances, and teacher apathy are all discussed.

Abstract
In today's modern world, computers have not only changed the way one handles daily errands and life, but also the way children are being educated. Today, computers are in classrooms across the nation and being used in almost every subject as a teaching tool. This paper shows that, while the age of technology continues to grow, there are some who are concerned that the back-to-basics of elementary education may be lost in the use of technological tools such as computers. People are concerned that the basic ability to read and compute numbers will be lost if the children at this age-level are taught to use technical tools instead of the ?old fashioned method?. Teachers around the nation have been trained to incorporate computers into their lessons, but those who have concerns fear the computers are either taking the place of basic instruction or being used as babysitters. This proposal addresses that concern and asks questions to determine whether the use of computers in the elementary classroom is taking away the basic instructional knowledge for the core subjects.
From the Paper
"Many articles have been published about computers in the classrooms and the benefits of the programs that are available(Instill, 1995). Children type in the word ?Watergate? and they are instantly taken to a picture of Richard M. Nixon with a history of his life and participation in the scandal. Other students may locate maps of Africa and compare them historically through graphics on the monitor(Instill, 1995). All of this appears to be a positive learning experience but is it taking the place of good old fashioned research? Students are being taught reading skills by chasing characters across the correct words on a screen and some worry that it is replacing the skill of sounding out words on a page."

From the Paper
"Dell Computers is a for-profit manufacturer of personal computers. Early on in its corporate history, Dell Computers made its name in the PC industry by offering a unique custom configuration of personal computers and portables. Thus, Dell made its mark by developing distinctive competencies in the then still-evolving PC market of the 1980's. The then, small, Texas based firm resolved to show to the world that Dell Computers was not simply technologically astute-in fact, the company placed a rather low priority upon this aspect of Dell in its marketing, pricing, promotions, and placement in the PC market. The company did not emphasize that Dell was on the cutting edge of every new technical development. Rather, the Dell Company stressed that the company had sound knowledge of how to manufacture, design, and market its products or services effectively in a way to keep costs low for the average consumer or small business."

Abstract
This paper examines how in the field of education, computer technology continues to change the way people both teach and learn. It analyzes how this new technology has effected changes in the classroom from educational programs such as "Barney" and "Sesame Street" for pre-school children to distance learning for home schooled children.
Outline
Early Childhood Education
Elementary and Middle School
Distance Learning
Disadvantages
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Personal computers and educational compact discs (CDs) and online databases and networks have made home schooling easier, more popular and more effective. Home-schooled students can augment their education with websites like AlternaTime, a timeline site broken into categories like history and culture, science and technology and arts and literature (Troutner). Computer technology provides families who opt for home schooling with more resources that are readily available.
Many adults have also benefited from the availability of distance learning. These include people who work full-time, or single parents who cannot always leave their children to go to school. Given the precarious economy, many more people are expected to take advantage of distance learning programs, to either shore up their qualifications or to learn new skills."
