Communication, Laws and regulations - When, if at all, is it appropriate to regulate the internet?
Communication, Laws and regulations: Assessed essay When, if at all, is it appropriate to regulate the internet? Introduction: The internet is the network linking computers on a worldwide scale. This 'net', as it is often called enables each computer user to interact with other computers through the existing telecommunications network (phone lines, satellite connections, cable), without consideration of distances or borders. This system, gave birth to the notion of 'Cyberspace', term created by the writer William Gibson in his book Neuromancer and defined as "a consensual hallucination experienced daily by millions of legitimate operators, in every nation"1. Peoples gain access to the cyberspace through an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Another good definition of the internet can as well be found in the words of James Gillies: "The World Wide Web is like an encyclopaedia, a telephone directory, a record collection, a video shop, and Speakers' Corner all rolled into one and accessible through any computer"2. The terms 'internet', 'cyberspace' and 'World Wide Web' are nowadays synonyms but in fact are describing three different things. Internet is the network, the hardware used to link computers together. The cyberspace is the border-free virtual territory created by this network and the WWW is a service accessible on the net. However, in the following essay, these words
Cyberspace and Society: Article Review
Cyberspace and Society Assessment 1: Article Review In this article Sassen describes ICTs (i.e. digital technology) as powerful tool in regards to the digital public space (the Internet) in the areas of human rights, environments, politics used by political activists, and worker strikes etc. She also highlights the extensive use of this technology within the wider global business world for capital hyper-mobility etc. She also points out while this is so, we cannot see this in isolation from capital fixity, such as building space, infrastructure etc in a social context within the global market. Even though the internet is dominated by a measure of power it still enables women to engage in proactive endeavours in different areas of politics and economics etc. She has explorer these ideas quite extensively through her own research and has quoted from and utilised idea and thoughts from a number of sources and research papers which are quite large and extensive for me to quote in this paper. Brief Summary: Within ICTs its technical attributes or features tends to be the focus of discussion within the changes in the development of current or rather modern times. Sociologists perceive technology as a stimulant for most social trends and transformations. In terms of this development ICT is perceived within the sociological perspective as one of application and impacts. The

Examine the effect upon policing of ONE of the following issues: Technology This essay aim to examine the effect of technology upon policing, based on historical data of policing in the period from the middle of the 19th century till now, the analyst reveals that technological advances in the areas of communication, transportation, and criminal identification significantly facilitated the effectiveness of police operations. At the same time, it is shown, police institutions also held technological developments accountable for an increase in opportunities for cross-border criminality, which in turn justified the planning and implementation of international police strategies. The role of technology in police institutions and police practices has long been recognised as relevant and ambivalent. (Deflem. 2002, p.454). Technological advances are particularly relevant for policing because they are seen to influence the organisation and practices of police in ways that intimately connect to the police function of crime control, new and more efficient means of crime detection, communication among police, and police transportation all influence how successful police are in doing their job as crimefighters, additionally affecting the level of legitimacy police receive from the public and relevant bodies of governments. The use of technology in policing is also unsure, striking a
Virtual Racism - A New Form of Hate Propaganda
Casey Grooms English 1312 Emmy Perez 9 December 2002 Virtual Racism: A New Form of Hate Propaganda Racism has been around for years and with racism comes a force of persuasion and influence. Manifestations of racism are exemplified through the relocation of American Indians, Japanese Internment Camps, and the enslavement and racist movements against blacks. Now with war or any political engagements or racist movements comes the art and warfare of propaganda. Propaganda is a selfish attempt to manipulate and persuade people in accepting ideas and beliefs in the interest of a person or group to take advantage of society. Propaganda is used to persuade and influence people's minds and beliefs resulting in either to convince them or to advance a step further by taking a call to action. This destructive form of hate propaganda that corrupts, deceives, and influences judgments comes in a variety of forms. According to Montgomery Police Headquarters, hate propaganda manifests itself in many different forms such as the following: > A derogatory pamphlet, flyer or leaflet distributed door to door. > Racial graffiti defacing walls, buildings, sidewalks, etc. > Recorded telephone messages expressing hatred against an identifiable group. (2) These examples are correct in some simple aspects, but wrong in today's society. The forms of propaganda like flyers and
Technology has done many wondrous and phenomenal things for society.
Technology Technology has done many wondrous and phenomenal things for society. One of the positive aspects of technology is that it has brought together and connected people from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds through different forms communication. Also, through the variety of media types, we are able to know what is happening around the world and keep up to date with current affairs. These technologies are shaping our lives and constantly changing and growing, and can be a positive way of life if they are not misused. Communicating directly with another person through great distances was first achieved with the telegram. After the telegram, the next big invention for communicating was created, which was the early telephone. This was a great technological invention that created a new standard of living for human kind. Both the telegram and early telephone had very limited distance for communication. Now, looking back at the inferiority of the telegram and early telephone makes us wonder how our ancestors have lived. This is because the lives of the people living in the modern, industrialized countries are heavily influenced by new and up-to-date forms of communication, such as flamboyant cell phones and fast internet connections. With today's communication and information technologies we are able to do many things that past generations could never
What is VC?
As technology grows, newer and newer appliances are available. It seems there's no stopping! The latest communications innovation is the Computer Telephony Integration (CTI). It could be divided into Video Conferencing (VC) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). What is VC? Teleconferencing in which video images are transmitted among the various geographically separated participants in a meeting. Originally done using analog video and satellite links, today video conferencing uses compressed digital images transmitted over wide area networks or the Internet. (Miscrosoft Press, 2002) Simply, it is a communication occurring between two or more remote locations that includes video and audio contact over the Internet or a private network. What is VoIP? Voice over IP - that is, voice delivered using the Internet Protocol is a term used in IP telephony for a set of facilities for managing the delivery of voice information using the Internet Protocol (IP). In general, this means sending voice information in digital form in discrete packets rather than in the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). (BIS Limited) Impacts of Video Conferencing Social: VC changes the ways of human communication. In the past, written letters and telephone calls are the main communication channels. However, nowadays, human can enjoy sitting

how to evaluate a published research article Outline and discuss the criteria which should be used in evaluating a published research article ¡§The central work of life is interpretation.¡¨ ¡VProverb Introduction Think about the magazine section in your local newsagents shop. If you reach out with your eyes closed and grab the first magazine you touch, you are about as likely to get a supermarket tabloid as you are a respected journal (actually more likely, since many respected journals don't fare well in newsagents). Now imagine that your newsagents is so accommodating that he lets anyone in town print up a magazine and put it in the magazine section. Now if you reach out blindly, you might get the ¡¥Elvis Lives with Aliens Daily¡¦ just as easily as The Economist or Time. Welcome to the Internet. As I hope my analogy makes clear, there is an extremely wide variety of material on the Internet, ranging in its accuracy, reliability, and value. Unlike most traditional information media (books, magazines, organisational documents), no one has to approve the content before it is made public. It's is one¡¦s job as a searcher, then, to evaluate what one has located, in order to determine whether it suits your needs, and whether it is a reliable source, for example is the research done through a recognised organisation?

Report To the Multiple Sclerosis Trust On Spritely Mobile Robot.
REPORT TO THE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS TRUST ON SPRITELY MOBILE ROBOT Report Authors: M Ali, Harprit Billan-Sall, Julie Brown, Anthony Cornwall, Sharon Ebanks and Denise Harborne Report Dated: 14 September 2001 Terms of Reference We have been commissioned by your organisation to assess the benefits of SPRITELY, the mobile robot developed jointly by the Opus Foundation and the Open University to help people with disabilities maintain their independence and self determination. Summary The increasing advances in technology since the 1970's have seen the introduction of robots primarily within industry to aid production, improving quality and adopting some of the more hazardous roles previously assigned to unskilled personnel within industry. The same robot technology used in industry is beginning to permeate through to domestic life with the forecast for 2000 - 2003 estimated to be 40,000 units deployed throughout homes internationally performing such tasks as vacuuming, lawn mowing and other domestic chores. Further development within this field is also evaluating the uses of robots for the disabled, intelligent devices, which articulate the brain of a disabled person, permitting them to interact with society and maintain a level of independence. In reviewing this growth area of technology and its uses for the disabled a number of factors have to be considered which are
