Abstract
In "Where Wizards Stay up Late, the Origins of the Internet", Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon explore the beginnings of the Internet. The authors show us how it was a computer-engineering firm that produced the original prototypes for "Arpanet" and how several very intelligent men made the Internet possible. The book is excellent in that it brings to the limelight many important people that played an important role in devising the Internet. In other words, therefore, this book is a history as well as a work of drama. It tells a very intriguing story of how the computer technology for the Internet was devised. In many respects, it is very much a "behind-the-scenes" kind of documentary.

"The History of the Internet
Introduction: The Need to Communicate
The Internet has become a modern tool of communication, capable of accessing vast amounts of information in a tenth of a second. The Internet evolved because of a need to communicate, but in a very particular way: interactively. As Harold Adams Innis (1994) noted, "changes in communications technology have often accompanied great social change." This has been the case throughout recorded history. As access to the printed page proved to be a powerful revolutionary and evolutionary force in medieval Europe, the Internet has opened up the world of documents to those capable of signing on.

"Innovative Internet technology gives pedophiles the opportunity to exchange information about children in an organized environment (Faulkner, 1997). By using the Internet, they can meet in chat rooms and educate one another on how to commit this crime. Over the Internet, pedophiles exchange plans and ideas about how to meet, attract, and exploit children, -- and how to lure the parents of these children into a false sense of security about their presence within the family structure. Many Internet sites host online "How To" seminar in pedophilia activities, whether the site managers know it or not."

Abstract
This paper explains that the security problems of the Internet largely are due to the design structure of the Internet; there is no central hub to control information and thus no rules on regulation. The author believes the government finds itself incapable of passing any sort of control measures on the use of the Internet because the users have all the power to control or regulate user discipline. The paper stress that, to find and assess Internet security involving hackers and breakers-in, partnerships within the concerned industry must be formed, whereby, each partner helps the other in case of a breach in security.
From the Paper
"It was originally known as ?Darpanet? and was a defense device to aid the Government in the eventuality of a nuclear war. The defense personnel used this Darpanet to communicate messages between the various Government networks. The later form of this type of communication came to be known as the ?net? or the ?Internet.? Now there are more than 30 million users from all over the world, and there are more than 40 million sites on the Internet. From its humble beginning when the connection was given to universities in America, to the present day when connections are given to small businesses, to Internet Service Providers, and to individual users, the Internet has indeed come a long way. The Internet can now be accessed by any number of users, both private and public, and the service is offered by a large number of Internet providers."

Abstract
In this article, the writer demonstrates that it is obvious that the Internet has become an important educational resource and a powerful social element for children. The writer also discusses that while the Internet provides children with a wealth of learning opportunities, it can also potentially expose them to negative content, for although it allows benefits such as socialization, research and communication tools for children, it also contains negative elements such as violence, hate sites, isolation, commercialism, predators, and pornography. The writer concludes that the best safeguards for parents are to remain involved in their child's activities by actively monitoring online usage and to establish open and honest communication.
From the Paper
"In a series of studies published by the American Psychological Association on April 30, 2006, roughly 75 to 90 percent of American teenagers use the Internet to email, instant message, visit chat rooms and surf online Web sites, all of which can have both positive and negative effects, from encouraging self-injury practices to improving academic performance."
"One study, the HomeNetToo Project, by Michigan State University examined the positive effects of home Internet access on children's academic performance by following 140 children aged 10-18 years from low-income households for a two-year period (Borzekowski). Researchers found that the children who used the Internet for an average of thirty minutes a day had higher standardized test scores in reading and higher grade point averages at one year and at 16 months after the project began, yet Internet use had no effect on standardized math scores."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although early mover advantage is often seen as the preferred method of market entry, in e-commerce, late movers can outperform and gain a higher level of trust with customers, by synchronizing all relevant systems through the use of the late mover process framework defined in this dissertation. This research is based on seven major hypotheses relating to a late mover e-commerce strategy. The author describes a multi-phased approach to the research design, based on qualitative research completed through the case study method in addition to the use of statistical analysis on a late mover company's relevant data in terms of transaction volumes and velocities of order management systems specifically. Several figures, tables, and graphs are included with the paper.

From the Paper
"Despite much of the secondary research showing that aggressive pricing is ineffective, this is the most common late market entrant strategy, according to industry experts this is because late movers assume that markets they are entering are much more price elastic than they really are. While in high tech this practice of entering new markets by aggressive pricing strategies sometimes is responded to with bundling (which is a strategic error in the part of early movers protecting market share) the most common defensive strategy is to create more opportunities for customers to participate in the product development process."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ming Chi and Sandy Xu's web page talks about how Internet marketing is an inexpensive way for businesses to market. According to their research, traditional marketing requires time, money and determination. In Internet marketing, businesses deal directly with consumers. There is no need for marketing intermediaries. Businesses no longer deal with marketing agencies and the distribution costs are also eliminated. (WebPromote. 1996) To do mass marketing in the conventional way is extremely expensive but for Internet marketing this is not true all. The Internet enables businesses to conduct mass marketing, target marketing, and niche marketing in a small fraction of the cost of
conventional marketing."

Abstract
This well-researched paper examines the pros and cons of our growing reliance on the internet in a variety of areas, including journalism, education, business and communication. One of the most positive and least contested views is related to the importance of the internet in education. This paper examines how the internet provides a good basis for educational reform and the reduction of division and inequalities through ubiquitous networking. On the other hand, there are commentators who state that the internet is not equally available for all. This paper discusses the 'digital divide' which proves that many countries and areas within societies do not have the same access to technology as others. This paper discusses how modern businesses around the world have woken up to the advantages and possibilities of the internet, in areas such as online marketing and e-commerce. The writer of this paper contends and explains how the internet has negatively affected the field of journalism. This paper also delves into the societal aspect of the internet. Many advocates of the internet stress the positive aspects of technological change in a social context, while at the same time many critics point to the negative effects that the internet is having on society. For example, they refer to the increasing anonymity and depersonalization though communication via electronic media.

From the Paper
"One of the central areas in which the Internet has already had a profound effect, is the world of journalism and politics. Prior to the growth of the Internet and the proliferation of communication and networking technologies such as Weblogs, all perceptions about society and politics were filtered through a process of editing and " censorship" by companies and corporations. In other words, the perceptions of the world and current events were largely determined by and dependent on the ethics and impartiality of newspaper and media editors. However, the status quo has been dramatically altered with the recent popularity and growth of the Internet. With the development of Internet technologies such as RSS, Weblogs and others, new modes of interactive news reportage have become a part of the ordinary life."

Abstract
This paper discusses that ?The Internet and Civil Society? by Peter Levine establishes the socialization of Internet and provides a critical analysis of existing dilemmas confronting human society today, people who have access and are active participants of the Internet. The author points out that Levine identifies primary problems in the Internet to be inequality, thin social bonds, and threats to public deliberation online, consumer choice, and privacy. The paper stresses that privacy and consumer choice problems are serious issues about the Internet that do not only concern the society, but also the individual?s rights.
From the Paper
"Inequality is perhaps the most basic, yet crucial, determinant in assessing the functionality of the Internet to the civil society. It is posited that the Internet, upon its emergence, shall break down structures of class extant in the real human society, since individuals coming from different classes interact indiscriminately through the Internet. Levine?s discussion, supported by research and studies on the issue of inequality on the Internet, illustrates that in contrast to its egalitarian promise, the Internet actually perpetuates class stratification found in real human societies. This is evident in the control that the upper middle and upper classes have over the Internet, since these classes are the only ones who have access to computers and unlimited Internet access. Rather than stunting it, class divisions have managed to permeate the Internet, resulting to inequality (also called the ?digital divide?)."

Abstract
Examines how Internet or electronic banking is slowly but surely reviving itself after numerous attempts by various financial institutions and financial intermediaries in the 1970 and 1980s. The standardization in technologies and the public's familiarity with the use of personal computers and the Internet have made the Internet bank or Internet banking site easier, cheaper and more cost effective than ever before. This paper discusses the coming of age of Internet banking, the opportunity for Internet banking and some of the obstacles and procedures that must be followed in order to develop a sound Internet banking presence.
From the Paper
"Mark Leary is looking at his watch. It is 10:30 p.m. and he has a list of chores to complete by tonight. He is leaving on a 3-day business trip in the morning and will not have the time to take care of some financial details. He has put off balancing his checkbook for over 2 months and needs to find out how much money he has in the checking account. Mark also wants to do a stock analysis of his current portfolio and ask his broker some questions about a new stock he read about earlier in the week. He has to send his son in college some money since he always seems to run out. Mark also promised his wife that he would order some new checks and get her a debit card since she does not like the inconvenience of having just an ATM card. Finally, yet importantly, he would like to check out information on Keogh's for his wife's business. How is he going to actually accomplish any of these tasks at this hour of the night? The answer is in the next revolution to hit the banking industry. Mark will log onto his banks website via his Internet service provider (ISP) and work away. The bank site allows him to download his statements directly onto his home budgeting software like Microsoft's Money or Intuit's Quicken and reconcile quickly and efficiently. In a matter of minutes, he knows his exact balance, what is outstanding and what items have come through. He will use the link that connects with the banks investment advisor who handles his portfolio and email questions about the stock he read about, he will ask another department about a Keogh for his wife's new business. He will transfer money through electronic funds transfer (EFT) from his account to his sons account across the country and it will be there by morning. He will order the checks his wife wants on the check selection link and order a debit card with a single click of a button since his information is already stored in the bank database."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"The reason for this may be considered to be psychological to a certain extent. An unwanted mail on the e-mail address needs just a click in order to dispose off, and it is a major problem that computer users have been facing for a long time. Even nowadays, all the free amount of e-mail services lead to a great amount of mails which come in, and still several people make use of free e-mail. Thus it is quite possible that the individuals are being accustomed to that sort of great trouble. On the other hand in the case of an unwanted phone call, it can usually come at any hour of any day, and one may not even like to attend to the phone in order to get rid of the people. It is also very true that postal mail is somewhere in between and certain of the individuals are being accustomed to even throwing away of the mails without even opening the mails. Thus, it is quite possible that the classification of the information is quite based on the harassment which it causes to the individual. (Trust in the Internet: The Social Dynamics of an Experience Technology)
To a certain extent, when a person uses the Internet for a while, he tends to develop a higher level of trust in the Internet. There have been different analyses which talk about two general types of cyber trust. One of these categories can be called as "Net-confidence" and the other can be called as "Net-risk". Considering individuals in these two categories help in analyzing the trust that individuals have in Internet. The analyses show that:
- In general continuing users of Internet have more surety and more confidence in the information and people whom they can access via the technology than others who do not use Internet, with several non-users having no opinion about how much of trust can be placed in the Internet."
