Abstract
This paper puts forward the debate of whether allowing electronic media into courtrooms, and even into death chambers, violates constitutional rights. It discusses the issues concerning invasion of privacy, as well as examining how, living in a democracy with a free press, failing to allow the media into the courtroom violates the First Amendment and the right of U.S. citizens to free speech. It also discusses whether death penalty executions should be televised.
From the Paper
"Indeed, and it is a simple one. Court proceedings have the issues of evidence and perception by jurors and other matters of procedure to grapple with, even in the face of overwhelming opinion that the First Amendment demands the presence of electronic media. (Electronic media might, indeed, be considered no more than the pens and pencils of print reporters of prior centuries, and still of this one in part.) Television executions have none of these constitutional issues. The condemned person is a condemned felon, and felons lose their civil rights, so an appeal to the right of privacy is null and void from the outset."

From the Paper
"Technical manuals are one of aircraft mechanics? vital tools. An aircraft is a composition of thousands of assembly parts. Its maintenance depends on referencing to thousands of technical manuals that are critically kept for future checks and consultations in cases of aircraft repair or diagnosis. One study indicates that an F-18 Fighter, for instance, consists of 30,000 pages of documentations whose printed documents consume a storage space of 68 cubic feet. With the advent of IETM, such pages of documentation could only take a CD-ROM to store exactly all the information and a few seconds of time to retrieve them. Today, IETM has been the preferred scheme in technical assessment and repair of complex machineries. This is due to the fact that IETM offers more advantages than the traditional scheme of paper-based technical manuals."

Electronic Money, 2008.
This paper discusses electronic money in relation to the traditional banking methods, analyzing Berndt Kempa's article "Money in an Electronic World".

Abstract
The writer notes that in his enlightening article regarding electronic money, "Money in an Electronic World", Bernd Kempa argues that electronic funds are not likely to replace traditional money any time soon but that the role of the central bank in determining a country's monetary policy may be affected. The writer points out that the Kempa voices these concerns in closing his research in which he successfully illustrates the development of electronic funds and cash. The writer discusses that companies such as eBay and Amazon.com have turned the retail industry upside down and these two companies alone handle billions of dollars annually in electronic funds across international markets without ever handling physical currencies. Yet, the writer maintains that central banks will continue to determine monetary policy because the simple fact is that none of these new economy institutions or the electronic funds that accompany new business models creates money themselves. The writer concludes that they only move currency values that have been created via traditional channels.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"These observations are, while not being indicative of an impending catastrophe, somewhat alarming for economists who might be concerned with monetary policy at the national level. However, by raising such alarms, the author does not adequately support why he believes electronic funds might hold the potential to undermine such national economic and monetary policy when, in fact, all electronic funds originate first with the issuance of funds through traditional channels. No company that regularly operates in the financial markets, private or otherwise, has the ability to generate funds, whether electronic or otherwise, in any manner that supersedes the role or the oversight of the central banking systems."

Electronic Payment Systems, 2005.
This paper discusses the use of electronic payment systems in banking and global e-commerce.
2,655 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 79.95
»

Abstract
This paper explains that electronic banking, also known as electronic fund transfer or EFT, uses the computer and electronic technology instead of traditional checks and other paper transactions. The author points out that electronic payment systems, in comparison to tradition labor-intense systems, require human intervention only in specific problem cases thus saving the companies and their consumers time and money; however, customer self-service, through electronic payment systems, does not reduce costs if customers do not use it as an alternative to the traditional paper method. The paper relates that electronic commerce in developing countries permit better access to information and marketing opportunities but also have negative aspects such as delays and questionable security.

From the Paper
"At present, business organizations, consumers and government agencies throughout the world take advantage of payment technologies to send and receive funds (Kushawara 2003). Consumers pay their taxes and make other payments electronically; governments receive these taxes and distribute refunds also electronically; and enterprises put these modern technological tools to move payments and other funds. Electronic business payments have proved valuable in saving money, improving efficiency and helping deliver better returns to shareholders. With these benefits, organizations are better able to use their financial and human resource on more important or critical objectives and activities than on processes that need to be automated."

Abstract
As more and more human activities can be undertaken on the internet, such as entertainment and commerce, the challenge is set now for governments and international institutions to ensure high levels of security for electronic communications, both private and commercial. Through the analysis of the technological background, the international legislative framework and sociological issues, the paper evaluates and highlights the main drawbacks and problems related with electronic communication. It identifies the structural, legislative and sociological reasons which prevent a generalized adoption of means of authentication and secure communication on-line, such as electronic signatures. The paper indicates solutions and guidelines to conduct electronic commerce and electronic communications to a broader diffusion and to build the average man?s confidence in trading and interacting online.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Apart from these evaluations, both signatures are mechanisms for secure information management and ?symbols that signifies intent? , specifically the intention to authenticate a documents. Intent means that a security system must guarantee the non-repudiation of a message containing a declaration by assuring that the sender cannot later deny having sent that message. The application of this function in the electronic context presents the most problematic issues because of the unclear definition of the non-repudiation technical meaning . The uncertainty of this definition and the doubts about the limits of the binding capacity of a declaration electronically signed are probably one of the main reasons of the scarce confidence in using e-signatures to conclude on-line transaction."

From the Paper
"Successful e-payment methods share a number of characteristics. These are: independence, interoperability and portability, security, anonymity, divisibility, ease of use, and transaction fees. Independence refers to the ability of e-commerce methods to operate without installing specialized software. Those e-commerce methods that do not require specialized hardware or software are more likely to be successful. Interoperability and portability refers to the ability of forms of e-commerce to interlink with other enterprise applications and systems. Security is an important consideration that encompasses the safety of the transfer and the chance of the transfer being intercepted. Anonymity is a characteristic of cash payments, where payment cannot be traced back to the buyer."

Abstract
This paper explains that, while there are some consumers who remain loyal to checks for security reasons and the comfort of seeing things in print, more and more customers are enjoying electronic payments; therefore, electronic transactions are transforming the banking industry. The author points out that, in addition to electronic payments being convenient, they are less expensive for the consumer, particularly through the use of online bill payment, and offer opportunities for rewards for using credit and debit cards. The paper states that, in other countries, banks have been able to make checks all but obsolete by charging considerably more for check transactions than for other forms of payment. The paper includes several long quotations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Although the Banking System is moving toward becoming paperless, American's still write more checks per person than any other industrialized nation. An article entitled "Why do we Use so many checks" asserts that in the year 2000 49.6 billion checks were written and were valued at $47.7 trillion. The author explains that unlike other countries the United States experienced an increase in check writing during the 1990's which has contributed to the continued use of checks. As was previously mentioned in this discussion, the number of checks that are now being used has begun to decrease, but it is still a significant amount. "

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that advances in computer technology and the development of the Internet have enabled the healthcare community to maintain medical records electronically, which has been beneficial for patients and healthcare providers alike. The writer points out that there is also a downside to this system of electronic record keeping, for it also renders the private medical records of patients vulnerable to unauthorized access. The writer notes that the healthcare community has a professional and ethical responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate policies to deal with such risks. The writer discusses that the emergence of electronic medical records systems presents security challenges, for such records are far more vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties than paper records kept in a doctor's office, a nursing station, or a clinic. The writer maintains that protecting the privacy of patients is essential, not only because of the vital importance of ethical medical treatment, but because of emerging confidentiality issues related to electronic medical records.

From the Paper
"The literature review clarifies that the healthcare community has a professional and ethical responsibility to formulate and implement appropriate policies to deal with the risks to confidentiality imposed by electronic medical record keeping. It is evident that the development and expansion of electronic medical records systems presents a wide range of security, ethics, and medical research interest challenges.
"The fundamental issue underlying all other issues is the fact that electronic medical records are far more vulnerable to unauthorized access by third parties than paper medical records were. Protecting the privacy of patients has always been essential because of the vital importance of providing ethical and confidential medical treatment, but it has also been essential to conduct medical research, which requires access to healthcare data on a general and individual patient basis. Consequently, everyone involved in this debate and affected by it must understand the implications of restricting electronic access to medical records."

From the Paper
"Electronic music has become a staple in popular music, a vital part of experimental and avant-garde music, and an occasional means of performing classical music. Different types of electronic production are also common for music in films, television programs, and commercials. Electronic music has been produced in some form for more than a century, but it has become more common with the creation of the synthesizer and other electronic instruments, and even more common as these and similar devices have been computerized and digitized. The synthesizer can simulate an entire orchestra or just one or two instruments. The adept user can produce a wide variety of sounds, composing in studio or in performance. A single user can thus use this system to produce short or long works, including adding a soundtrack to a silent film at minimal cost and without the need for a studio full of musicians. The synthesizer was produced after decades of experimentation with electronic music as different composers sought ways to express themselves in this manner."

Abstract
In today's environment of increasing globalization electronic banking, otherwise known as commerce or EFT, has become a daily life activity in our computer savvy society. Notions of banking and finance have changed over the last few decades particularly at the personal level with the increasing use of personal computers and online services. Strengthened Internet protocol and user friendly software have allowed for an increase in virtual banking and a decrease of paper records, files and documents against a backdrop of consumer concerns about compromised safety. Given this current environment of global electronic banking, this paper considers whether today's electronic banking is sufficiently secure enough to deal with large cash flows for people and companies.
