Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the various methods of data input. The paper takes a look at the accuracy, convenience and quality of these methods of data input, focusing primarily on the accuracy of each.

From the Paper
"When dealing with printed questionnaires, keyboard entry is the best choice for data input. Unlike handwriting, which most of the times is unclear and therefore severely affects the accuracy of data input, the keyboard method avoids uncertainty. Among this method's advantages, one of the most important is that most people are familiar with using keyboards and with the key's layouts, so there is no or little training required for using keyboards. Also, an optical mark recognizer can be used. Optical mark recognition is a fast and accurate data input method that basically refers to capturing data by contrast reflectivity at predetermined positions on a page. This data input method presents several advantages, like the wide range of application. It can be applied for community surveys, consumer surveys, tests and assessments, evaluations and feedback, data compilation, product evaluation, inventory counts, membership subscription forms, and other printed material. Also, the optical mark recognizer identifies rapidly the answers marked by users and calculates scores. However, this method has its disadvantages also: it is not suitable for large amounts of text, or some data can be lost in the scanning process. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that when looking into how a big corporation should properly conduct its business behind its own brick and mortar walls, a good place to begin would be to examine what mistakes have been made by big corporate players. The writer points out that there is no better place to begin than by studying and investigating the drama that continues to unfold at the Hewlett-Packard (HP) Company. In this case, there was pretexting at HP, and the use of this unethical, illegal procedure allowed certain persons to obtain phone records of reporters and board members who were possible suspects in the leaking of inside HP information to the media. The writer discusses the ongoing power and legal struggles associated with the Hewlett-Packard scandal in Silicon Valley.

Introduction
The New Yorker Article

From the Paper
"The true background of this confusing and twisted tale of corporate ethical lapses is becoming a must-read for students in Ethics classes around the country. Indeed, when David Packard and Bill Hewlett launched HP in a Palo Alto garage in 1957, little did either of those men realize what a giant and powerful technology corporation HP would turn out to be - with revenues in excess of $90 billion annually."
"Nor did they, or could they, have known that corporate leaks from power-hungry insiders would lead to an embarrassing and very public scandal in 2005 and 2006. Certainly they couldn't know that the corruption inside HP would be so serious and have such enormous implications for the company (and the technology world) that it would require congressional hearings to delve into its mysterious and evil plots and subplots, along with the willing and innocent participants.

Pilot Fatigue, 2007.
This paper examines the problem of pilot fatigue and its potential consequences.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that when pilots become tired, they are more likely to make mistakes or even to fall asleep - both of which are unacceptable for anyone seeking to pilot an aircraft safely. This study examines how pilots are affected by fatigue in aviation and how this can lead to accidents. The research shows that pilot fatigue can be caused by some other, less readily identifiable, sources as well. To this end, the paper presents a review of the peer-reviewed, scholarly and popular literature concerning pilot fatigue followed by a summary of the research and important findings in the conclusion. The writer concludes that until the day comes when aircraft are completely autonomous and do not require human control, the issue of pilot fatigue will remain relevant and important to the flying public, pilots and policymakers alike. The paper
includes a figure and research log.

Review and Discussion
Conclusion

From the Paper
"When many people think of becoming fatigued, the cause usually relates to simply becoming physically tired for whatever reason, but the research quickly shows that pilots are subjected to a wide range of conditions that are unique to the profession. For example, according to Garland and his colleagues, pilot experiences during World War II suggest that noise and even vibrations can contribute to pilot fatigue. Likewise, Ward points out that pilots during World War II could become fatigued because of the very nature of their jobs and the types of aircraft involved .. "

Space Race, 2007.
This paper explores how the Soviet Union and the United States became engaged in a space race as both attempted to conquer the space beyond the Earth.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that at the end of World War II, the Soviet Union and the United States were locked into a bitter battle of military positioning and propaganda known as the Cold War. Stemming from this, as technology advancements showed the world the military capabilities of space exploration, the two nations began a fierce competition to rule space. The writer notes that while the competition was closely aligned with the arms race between the two countries during the Cold War, space technology also became an important part of the technological, cultural, ideological, and military rivalry between the two countries. The writer points out that while the space race developed from a vicious Cold War, the race ended in cooperation between two powerful nations. The writer then concludes that while the space race certainly advanced technology far beyond what would have occurred without such competition, the race also fostered and developed the technological, cultural, ideological, and military mindsets of both countries forever.

Abstract

From the Paper
"Space exploration clearly offered numerous solutions to these issues for both superpowers. Space exploration and satellites could, scientists and military annalists believed, be used to spy on other countries, gathering photographic and location specific information regarding any technologies, military movements, or weapon storage. Additionally, the leaders of these countries believed that to beat the other to space would promote a concept of superiority, prowess, and military superiority. As the development of rocket technology increased, and as that technology advanced, space exploration became a feasible goal.
In 1947, the citizens of the United States had one of their first experiences with space, further fueling the flames for the Space Race. In July of that year, farmers in Roswell, NM discovered a crash site nearly three-fourths of a mile in width, consisting of metal, and other unfamiliar debris. A local sheriff called the military, who declared a few days later that a "flying disk" had crashed. Shortly thereafter, the statement was retracted, and replaced with stories of a downed weather balloon."

From the Paper
"The really attractive outcome of SBD is the comprehensive perspective that this method of management view of the corporation as well as its business environment. The business environment includes the "direct relationships with suppliers, distributors, customers, partners, employees, and shareholders and direct linkages with stakeholders, competitors, related industries and the natural environment (the eco-systems)." (Rainey, 2007) Sustainable Business Development is stated of Rainey of the nature that may be perceived: "...as a subset of the broader concepts of sustainability and sustainable development as defined by the international community of nations and the United Nations. SBD is a "holistic management construct that includes the entire value system from the origins of the raw materials to production processes and customer applications to end-of-life (EoL) solution." Encompassed is the complete spectrum of existing relationships with "supply networks, customers and stakeholders, and support service providers for providing business solutions and also handling wastes, residuals, and impacts." (Rainey, 2007) Accomplishing this is assured through the management concepts of enterprise management and 'life cycle thinking' (LCT)" which not only serves to build the awareness of the organization but as well builds the strategic management concept to include the mindfulness beyond the companies direct actions only."

Abstract
The paper discusses the revolutionary special effects and animation used in Spielberg's film, "Jurassic Park." The paper reveals that this film opened the door to a new, eye-popping kind of realism in animation for movie audiences. The paper describes the realism of the dinosaurs and attributes this to the special effects creators, the contractors of the Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) group. The paper examines the technology that ILM used in order to produce such realistic computer-generated images.

From the Paper
"In just about every retail store in America the marketing barrage featured JP action figures, lunch kits, videogames, candy, posters, latex masks, playing cards, children's toiletries, and more, according to Washington State University professor Michael Delahoyde (www.wsu.edu). But it is possible JP would have turned a record profit anyway (it made $870 million worldwide and cost $63 million to produce), without all the marketing trappings, because the animation was so intense and realistic. It was almost like these dinosaurs could walk off the screen and into the lobby where popcorn was being sold."

"A new battle is brewing and this is not like any wars, conflicts or skirmishes we have ever seen. This is the battle for the right to cyberspace and although the Founding Fathers never imagined a world inundated with bits and bytes, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights may have some provision protecting the rights of everyone and anyone going online. The fight is on for network neutrality or "net neutrality" wherein its "principle states that all contents and applications should be treated equally on the Internet and therefore the Internet service providers (ISPs) should not be allowed to implement pricing schemes that discriminate by type and content or application (Oxera, 2006)."

Abstract
The paper looks at how the virtual world is becoming part of today's society. The paper relates that America's middle and upper-class young people use social networks as virtual community centers, a place to sit around and communicate. The paper describes the opportunities offered by the MySpace and FaceBook websites but points out that many adult users of these websites expose themselves to risk from identity thieves and hackers. The paper notes other concerns and advises taking safety precautions.

From the Paper
"It is not surprising that MySpace and later virtual networking sites, such as FaceBook have become popular. Teens and young adults spend a great deal of time on the computer. This is time where they used to watch TV or get together with friends in person. The controversy about the pros and cons of these social sites continues, as millions more people sign up as members."
"MySpace.com's membership has nearly quadrupled since in 2005 to 2006 to 40 million members. It ranked No. 15 on the entire U.S. Internet in terms of page hits according to Nielsen//NetRatings. Millions also hang out at other up-and-coming networks such as Facebook.com, for college students, and Xanga.com, with shared blogs. There are also 300 smaller sites, such as Buzz-Oven, Classface.com, and Photobucket.com (Business Week)."

The Arguments For and Against Neutral Networks
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Network neutrality has become one of the most discussed issues in communications and the Internet today. As one pundit states network neutrality is "...a large, unresolved debate..." (Mark R.) The issue is so contemporary and hotly debated because the outcome of this debate could have a direct and far-reaching impact on the future of the present concept of the Internet as a democratic zone for free exploration and enterprise. One of the central arguments for network neutrality is that the demise of network neutrality would, many assert, mean that innovation and accessibility for all would be stifled."

"Cultures influence and impact one another at a personal level first, comprised by millions of moments of truth that over time define how cultural values conflict or align with one another. As a result of these moments of truth accumulating over time, cultures define their distances from each other. In looking to develop Internet cafes throughout India, the cultural implications of bringing Internet access into both metro and rural areas will require inordinate patience and understanding that India is a nation known for slow, ponderous development. It is the antithesis of the alacrity and speed of the United States, European nations or Australia for example. The urgency in these more advanced nations is not present in India, mainly as a result of the sporadic performance of its infrastructure. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the benefits of online classes are myriad, including ease of use, increased communication between student and instructor, completion times, more course offerings, alternatives for disabled students and most importantly, convenience and accessibility. The paper notes contentions that online classes offer drawbacks for some students. The paper discusses the claims of the lack of motivating forces for some students and the difficulty with e-mails between course instructors and students but maintains that the many benefits of online education far outweigh any drawbacks some students might perceive.

From the Paper
"With the advent of technology, the Internet, and advanced course creation software such as WEBCT, online education has become increasingly easy to use and develop. That means more educational institutions are offering a greater number of online classes. It also means ease of use for the online student. Early online classes were often difficult to negotiate and clumsy in their design. Today's online classes are usually very simple for the student to navigate, and they include a variety of additional information for the student to explore on their own as they navigate their way through the course."

Industrialization: Good or Bad?, 2007.
This paper portrays the benefits of industrialization, notwithstanding the clear disadvantages involved.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses the introduction of industrialization and its negative impact on individuals. The paper looks at harsh factory conditions but also illustrates how the Great Depression was only alleviated by the infusion of new technology. Furthermore, the paper examines Wal-Mart's effects on the environment and on labor practices but also shows how farmers and fishermen's original occupations were not any better. The paper concludes that the answer to poverty in the developing world is not the idealization of the past, pastoral way of the life of the farmer, but to use industrialization in a humane manner to enrich workers as well as corporations.

From the Paper
"Society today revolves around the machine. Witness how quickly a modern office comes to a standstill if the Internet is down, or how children will wander around their home, aimless and bored, if the cable connection has been lost. It is very tempting to be sympathetic to the claim of the British philosopher Bertrand Russell that in: "a society built on the machine there is a diminution in the value and independence of the individual." But African-American slaves of the pre-industrialized South would hardly agree, as their bodily labor sustained the economy of the agriculturally based region, unlike the free-wage North."

Abstract
This paper reports that SAP's approach to customer acquisition, centers on mining their existing customer base for follow-on sales of their products. The author states that this process relies heavily on SAP's world-class database of reference-able customers. The author points out that SAP is one of the few software companies that actively tie back their performance service to their customer service strategies by using their own CRM applications. The paper concludes that, when an organization has a clear vision of its marketing and specifically Internet-based strategy objectives, the selective application of technologies to these objectives can deliver exceptionally strong results. This paper includes many figures and tables.

From the Paper
"One of the unintended consequences may be the demise of many music stores that once sold CDs and the demise in the sell of CDs themselves. Perhaps Steve Jobs knew that iTunes and iPods would change the manner in which people around the world listened to music but it is not clear if the company knew the results would be this significant. Another unintended consequence has been lawsuits filed against the company. It seems that the Apple Company which specializes in music distribution for the Beetles sued Apple Computer Inc. because it breeched an agreement between the two companies that guaranteed that Apple Computer Inc. would not distribute music. At the time the agreement was made, Apple Computer had no way of knowing the advances in technology that would be made and that someday a computer company would have the capacity to distribute music on such a grand scale."

Abstract
This paper discusses the arrival of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) on the microchip research and development scene. It particularly focuses on how AMD's performance and growth have affected Intel and its performance. The paper compares the focus of the two companies over the past few years and discusses what Intel needs to do in order to remain competitive in this rapidly growing market.

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Conclusion

From the Paper
"The battle is clearly on. Intel, the old warhorse can no longer rest at ease with its previously unchallenged market dominance. The Arrival of AMD in a big way on the microchip scene has clearly propelled research and development drastically, and transformed the microchip market from monopoly to a duopoly. Both companies are vying with each other to come up with new and interesting designs that have not only increased computing speed but also reduced the cost significantly. Intel, after having suffered a dismal performance in 2005, when its profit was nearly halved from the previous year, has struck back with its new product, the 64-bit core two-duo processor for the desktop, notebook and the server segment. With its wide success it is clear that this processor is currently dominating the market. However, it is plainly obvious that the microprocessor market has ceased to be a monopoly, thanks mainly to the unrelenting and consistent growth of AMD and its novel products. It augurs well for the PC market as we can expect innovations to emerge much faster and at a competitive price."

Cyber-security Breaches, 2007.
A review of recent case studies of cyber-security breaches in the USA.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses various recent cyber-security breaches in the USA. The paper discusses each event, the method used to breach the cyber-security and the response. The paper focuses primarily on the case of Moonlight Maze, one of the most infamous cyber-attacks which occurred in the late 1990s.

From the Paper
"The hackers were apparently working from a location in Russia, though this could not be definitively established due to the nature of the infiltration. All that is known for certain is that the hack into Department of Defense computers had been going on for more than a year and that it is entirely unclear how much information was made off with during that time. This is due in part to the fact that in addition to raiding information directly from the Pentagon, the hackers also used that point of entry to enter other sensitive systems throughout the US government. These included networks at nuclear research labs associated with the Energy Department, NASA, and numerous university research facilities (Drogin, 1999). Investigators reiterate that the attackers obtained no known classified information, but the general uncertainty surrounding Moonlight Maze makes this claim dubious at best."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that iPod is a world famous brand of portable media players that was launched on October 23, 2001. The writer points out that the concept occurred as a result of the US-based corporation's attempt to identify new market opportunities that would boost its sales. The writer concludes that iPod has made an important step forward within the electronics industry as it has succeeded in combining both utility and pleasure by focusing on improved technology, more friendly design and moderate price, on one hand, and a trendy, fresh look which has almost turned the item into a jewel, on the other hand.

From the Paper
"One of the most appreciated design features was the user interface's scroll wheel suggested by Phil Schiller (the head of the Apple's marketing department). This emphasized that the speed at which menus scroll must be directly proportional to the extent to which the wheel is turned. Despite being salutary, this idea didn't come out of the blue as it had several predecessors like scrolling mice, Palm thumb wheels, the HP workstation launched in 1983 or Bang & Olufsen BeoCom phones which allowed navigating the list of contacts. Generally speaking, the click wheel encompasses five options: menu consisting of a list of items, center which allows choosing an item, play/pause, skip forward/fast forward, skip backwards/ fast reverse. The American company was also aware of the possibility of accidentally crashing or freezing the iPod and therefore it included a reset alternative that implied switching Hold on then off, and afterwards pressing Menu and Center for six seconds."
