Abstract
As the globe becomes more dependent on digital technology to exchange information over the Internet societies are becoming more concerned with issues of privacy. Individuals surfing the net, purchasing products over the Internet, and corresponding with others via the World Wide Web are required to provide personal information that has the potential of being used illegally in many ways. The United States has relied on the wording of the fourth amendment of the constitution in past years to address privacy issues in the country. Yet, as digital technology has evolved the focus on this amendment to resolve privacy concerns in relation to digital media is restricted by privacy in relation to search and seizure. This paper discusses the issues of privacy in relation to digital media, focusing on how these issues are handled in the United States and Canada.

Abstract
The paper explains that the case of Napster is typical of copyright infringement because it demonstrates just how inadequate legislation is as it relates to digital technology. The paper explains that in addition, Napster represents just one area where copyright can be violated. The paper shows how the Napster case reveals that in terms of digital technology, the fundamental issue concerns how to reconcile the traditional concept of contributory liability with the widespread use of digitized works made available by the Internet.
From the Paper
"With the advent of digital technology, research has found that as many as 90 percent of all Internet users and about 70 percent of users who share files freely admit that copyright is not an issue for them. These people regularly download many different kinds of files, ranging from movies to computer programs. The most likely individuals to download music and share files are students. Young adults behave in comparable ways since they also normally are not concerned about the copyright status of whatever files they download. Music is very easily downloaded, and it is far easier to download music than full-length feature movies."

From the Paper
"On May 24, 1844 Samuel Morse-inventor of the telegraph-relayed the first message ever sent electronically: "What hath God wrought!" (Reynolds 9). Clearly, Morse comprehended some of the implications this momentous achievement suggested. It is unlikely, however, that anyone fully grasped what the future would hold for communications. From the telegraph to the telephone to the internet, it appears that man-not God-demands ever progressive technologies to exchange ideas and information with those distanced from him. "This long history of technical innovation in communications ultimately brought forth an era of inexpensive high-speed data services." (Reynolds 9)."

Legal Naturalism vs. Legal Positivism, 2002.
A comparison of laws understood to come about naturally or through some form of positive creation.
2,630 words (approx. 10.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 79.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines two of the general theories of law - legal naturalism and legal positivism, both of which have had an enormous influence on law throughout history. The first part of the paper looks at natural law which describes those diverse theories of law that do not accept human law as true law and hold that a particular "something other than the positive law is the true law". The second section examines legal positivism where one of several general theoretical traditions is based on the belief that the source of knowledge lies in experience, not in reason, nor in mind.
From the Paper
"A good example of the usefulness of classical legal naturalism can be seen in the rise of commercial law in the Middle Ages in Europe. As Glendon, Gordon, and Carozza point out, the rise of commercial law took place when Roman civil law provided no adequate coverage of new problems that arose as trade "emerged from the localism and relative economic stagnation of the Middle Ages" in the form of international banking, expanded maritime trade, and rising commercial centers."

Abstract
"Since the turn of the century artists have incorporated machine imagery into their art. But, whether they were frightened by the threat of a dehumanized, mechanized society or pleased by the hard lines of factories and machine-made objects, they only borrowed their images and their style for use in traditional art media
From the Paper
"Since the turn of the century artists have incorporated machine imagery into their art. But, whether they were frightened by the threat of a dehumanized, mechanized society or pleased by the hard lines of factories and machine-made objects, they only borrowed their images and their style for use in traditional art media. In the 1960s, however, artists began to expand the boundaries of their media with the incorporation of machines and technological processes into their art.
From radio broadcasts and videotape to functioning mechanical objects and digital computer imagery, the last three decades have seen the increasing use of various technologies to make art. Instead of visual or thematic inspiration for painters or sculptors technology today is used as a part of art, in the service of art, and as forms of art. But these are arts in their infancy and for ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that while technology mediated modes of communication have existed for generations, innovations in terms of the introduction of digital wireless technologies over the past ten to fifteen years have radically transformed how people communicate. The essay explores this phenomenon with reference to such technologies as digital cell phone text messaging, computer-based instant messaging, and Internet relay chat. With reference to scholarly work on the subject, the paper is argues how the de-centring of face-to-face communication has impacted language structure in compelling users of these technologies to innovate a range of distinct communication forms.
Outline:
Introduction
Digital Communications Technology
The Impact of Digital Wireless Communication Upon Language
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This technology impacts language in a number of respects. For example, one of the most popular aspects of technology mediated modes of communication is their textual element. While cell phones are, of course, an oral communication medium, one of their most popular added functions lies with text messaging and remote e-mail access. It is difficult to say precisely why text messaging is so popular given that this technology allows the use of oral communication. It may be argued that this is due to the popularity of Instant Messaging through computers, with texting being a logical remote extension of the same practice."

"Storage virtualization is able to accomplish this by making physically separate and heterogeneous storage arrays seem to be a single logical pool of storage resources, controllable from a central console. The purpose of the program is for data to freely flow between the different tiers and types of storage, depending on business needs, without disturbing the operating environment. The author also asserts that "The single most important attribute of any storage virtualization solution is the ability to mask complexity and thereby make manageable that which is increasingly unmanageable.""

Abstract
This paper discusses the evolution of the digital art form that emerged as a combination of technological expertise and traditional artistic vision. The paper contends that the emerging digital technologies are creating new forms and genres of art, which are a result of the interaction between traditional views of art. The study of the collusion and interaction between technical knowledge and artistic imagination and innovation forms the central trajectory of this paper.
From the Paper
"An important aspect to consider in the evolution of digital art is the issue of legitimacy and acceptance. While the acceptance of digital art is far from ubiquitous there is now a strong basis for the recognition of digital art forms. (ibid) However, the hectic pace of technological development has meant that many artists feel inadequate in the face of technology that requires, in many cases, training and a mindset which is oriented towards a technological rather than a traditionally artistic point of view. Connected to this issue is the fact that art theory and aesthetics are struggling to assimilate these new technological methodologies."

Abstract
The writer asks and answers questions concerning digital radio. Will this format be here to stay or will it just become a stepping stone technology? Will the world decide on a single transmitting format? And most importantly, will the general consumer accept this new technology? The beginnings of digital radio have already been seen. These stations, which are received via satellite, have been used by businesses to provide a variety of digital, commercial-free, music to be enjoyed by their customers.
From the Paper
"The future of digital radio in Canada relies mostly on the L-Band which Canada introduced to world in 1992. The L-Band is basically a carrier that uses both terrestrial and satellite signals for wireless transmissions. This makes for a carrier that far exceeds that of its predecessors, the FM and AM band, which the government plans to replace by 2010. After digital radio becomes the standard, the CRTC plans on using the AM/FM frequencies for other purposes of wireless transmission. AM radio covers the frequencies of 530KHz to 1630Khz for a bandwidth of 1.1MHz. The bandwidth needed, though, for each channel is 0.01MHz. FM covers the band of 88MHz to 108MHz for a total bandwidth of 20MHz, with 0.25MHz needed per channel. The L-Band on the other hand ranges between 500MHz to 1500MHz, although for digital radio only frequencies from 1452MHz to 1492MHz. are slated. This leaves digital radio with the bandwidth of 40MHz, where 1.5MHz of bandwidth is needed for the 48KHz, 16bit uncompressed audio."

"The management of information technology systems in organizations has emerged as one of the most important aspects of information technology in this digital era. Although problems with information technology systems are not a new phenomenon, their impact seems more pronounced. The organizations of today face unique challenges in the information technology systems area unlike those of the traditional project management of the past. The incessant continued drive toward eBusiness means that information technology has become ever more critical to the success of the organization as a while. As a result, information systems project managers face more pressure and visibility over failed initiatives. Organizations are typically dealing with chaotic, technology-influenced projects that generate knowledge. The quality of knowledge-generating projects is also most heavily affected by the skills and intellectual capital of the project team. "

Bridging the Digital Divide, 2004.
An in-depth examination of identifying innovative information technology practices for developing nations in order to bridge the 'digital divide'.
29,990 words (approx. 120.0 pages), 55 sources, MLA, $ 249.95
»

Abstract
This paper aims to develop an understanding of how the digital divide can adversely affect emerging nations and to identify effective and timely methods whereby access to such technologies can be improved in developing nations in general, and in Ethiopia in particular. It employs a mixed-method strategy to achieve these goals. The multiple-method strategy is adopted for this study in order to reduce the possibility of personal bias by not depending on only one method of approach or response coming from only one company, individual or sector. Employing the mixed-method approach therefore supports and reinforces the authenticity of the study. The paper employs both qualitative and quantitative data in a variety of ways, including a detailed overview of survey results in terms of a general profile and a model of Ethiopian small firms and how they are employing IT to improve their access to markets. Surveys were also conducted with a convenience sample of respondents who were interested or involved with promoting the small business sector in Ethiopia.

From the Paper
"In the Age of Information, an important topic of growing concern to most countries around the world, the 'Digital Divide" is generally defined as being the degree of the gap in technology ownership and access between those who are affluent and those who are poor or live in rural areas with limited or no access to the Internet. According to Melvin Delgado (2002), the origins of the term "digital divide" have been traced back to Al Gore, the then vice president, in 1996. There is controversy about aspects of the divide, as Conhaim (2000) noted: "A debate is raging about the Digital Divide, which is the gap between 'haves' and 'have nots' in the fast-moving, globally interlinked, computerized world" (p. 8). Improving the levels of access and ownership relates to three fundamental factors: race, geography and economic status (Charp, 2001). There are an estimated 429 million people online globally, but even this staggering number is small when considered in context. For example, of those 429 million, fully 41 percent live in North America; in addition, 429 million people represents only 6 percent of the world's entire population."
