The Telephone
.... expand their horizons infinitely
easier than ever before. It became possible to set up meetings and discuss
business matters with partners thousands of miles away. Companies that posessed
a telephone had a enormous advantage over the rest. And in a time as
economically troubled as the 30's depression, everyone was looking for a
competitive edge.
The telephone wasn't invented in the thirties, nor was the first
transatlantic line built then, but the thirties represents a time in history
when the world wa .....

How Technology Effects Modern America
.... that the supply of workers in the [unskilled labor] categories already
exceeds the demand for their services,” says L. Mishel, Research Director of
Welfare Reform Network.
In view of these facts, I wonder if these trends are good or bad for society. “
The danger of the information age is that while in the short run it may be
cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long run it is potentially
self-destructive because there will not be enough purchasing power to grow the
economy,” M. .....

Internet Access

also allows you to communicate with any other computer on the network. If you
access by a host, it is usually done through a LAN or with telephone lines and
modems combined with Internet software on a personal computer. Terminal access
is usually done by a telephone line and a modem and it is used with terminal-
emulation software on a personal computer. This also allows you to interact
with another computer that is an Internet host (explained later). Gateway

Machines: Are They Helpful Or Too Much Trouble?

transport goods, the cotton gin made it easier to clean cotton, and made more
money. Then technical schools began to develop, helping young people finish
grammar school. Women also started working, they were very obedient and men
started giving them more respect.
Along with positive, were also negative. Most people worked twelve to
fourteen hours a day, six days a week, they had to pay constant attention to the
machines and risked losing limbs in the machines. Child labor was another
problem, they .....

Problems Of Modernization In Developing Nations

a lower standard of living than do industrialized nations. Both individuals are
supporting each other in such a way that if one is removed, the other will fall.
Without resources to use, industry would not be able to maintain its existence.
Likewise, without a market for their resources, or the products of industry, the
developing world would not be able to maintain its existence.
Two current problems which exist in the dev .....

Technology And The Future Of Work

addressed are: elimination of work in the traditional sense, longevity, early
retirement, the elimination of cash, the restructuring of education, industry
and a movement to global politics, economics and world government.
In particular this paper will suggest that the Christian Judao work ethic with
society's goals of full employment in the traditional sense is no longer
appropriate, necessary or even possible in the near future, and that the
definition of work needs to be far more liberal. .....

5 Modes Of Transportation

Each mode is made up of primary subsystems. The subsystems of railroad
transportation include freight trains and passenger trains. Freight trains are
used to transport goods and materials between cities while passenger trains are
used to transport people. Although freight trains are still used all across the
nation, rail intercity freight has accounted for a decreasing share of the total
ton mileage over the past 30 years. This is mostly due to the increase in truck .....

Internal Combustion Engines
.... about 1,000 hp. However there are many diesel engine plants much
large than this. Internal combustion engines are particularly appropriate for
seasonal industries, because of the small standby losses with these engines
during the shutdown period.
History
The first experimental internal combustion engine was made by a Dutch
astronomer, Christian Huygens, who, in 1680, applied a principle advanced by
Jean de Hautefeuille in 1678 for drawing water. This principle was based on the
fact that the .....

Advancement Of Technology And Science And Its Influence On Science Fiction Novels

increasing popularity over the years. As James explains, "much sf is concerned
with the future and with the possibilities presented by scientific and
technological change" (James 3). Truly, humans exploring and even colonizing
other worlds, the plot of many a science fiction novel, has to many become
inevitable. The .....

The Video Game Wars

games. Surprisingly, Nintendo's new games didn't look much different than the

displaying the latest and greatest games for each popular console. While
watching these new games, I was in awe.
When I was younger, I remembered playing what those times considered,
"high tech" video games. During those years, the games had little blocky
characters who looked more like a blob than a h .....

Airbags - Pop Em' Or Keep Em'

Children are not the only victims, though. Small women and the elderly have
also been killed as a result of airbags. The time has come to ask ourselves,
"Do airbags really work?"
First off, most people feel that airbags are a great safety device.
They let people walk away from an accident without a scratch, right? They
protect everybody, right? People don't need seatbelts if their car has an
airbag, right? Wrong. Airbags cause injuries, .....

Airships

TYPES OF AIRSHIP
Two basic types of airship have been developed: the rigid airship, the shape of
which is fixed by its internal structure; and the nonrigid blimp, which depends
on the pressure created by a series of air diaphragms inside its gas space to
maintain the shape of its fabric hull. Inventors sought to combine the best
features of these models in a semirigid type, but it met with only limited
success. Today only the nonrigid airship is used.
Rigid Airship

Installing A Car Stereo System
.... sounds (bass violin, tuba) require more power to be heard at the same
level as a midrange sound (voice, trumpet). The internal amplifier in the head
unit must be able to generate enough wattage for the SPL (sound pressure level)
of the higher frequencies to be heard clear in a space the size of the AEROSTAR.
Pre-amp Out RCA Jacks
To allow for low-level amplification without using an in-line power
reducer, the head unit will require low level pre-amplification output jacks.

Importance Of Electronics

phones have also appeared recently in the electronic world. These devices allow
a person to be reached from practically anywhere. With cellular phones a person
