It And Retailing
<view this essay>.... An e-commerce site that is implemented well can significantly lower both order taking costs up front and also customer service after the sale has been made. For example being located on the Internet means that place does not enter into the marketing mix of an e-commerce company. As its customers will not visit the business, it means having a prominent high street location is no longer of importance; in fact a business can be set up in someone’s home (if space for storage allows!). Also when considering mail order companies there is no longer the need to endure the costs of designing, printing and sending out catalogues. These factors contribute to e-commerce co .....

Censorship On The Internet
<view this essay>.... on the net.
Under the first amendment the government must not regulate cyberporn. Online sex has been around since the first bulletin boards were available over the computer in the early 1980's.

Use Of Non-Lethal Weapons
<view this essay>.... to happen, and won't happen if
weapons such as tasers are used in everyday life. Another problem in our
society is violence such as riots and fights. These things can be
controlled with sticky foam, water cannons, or rubber bullets.
The main reason to choose tasers and new-age weapons over guns, is
the fact that they are non-lethal. Every year about 500 police officers are
killed by guns. This kind of death doesn't need to happen. In 1983, 10,895
people were killed by firearms. In 1973 over 100 innocent children were
killed by guns, and every year that number increases. So, if you would like
these numbers to drastically decrease, we must choose smarter, .....

Telecommuting
<view this essay>.... of telecommuting is energy conservation. A tremendous
amount of energy is required to produce transportation equipment such as
automobiles, buses trains, and subways. If telecommuting is promoted, there

Carburetion Versus Fuel Injection
<view this essay>.... computerized electronic fuel injection system or the traditional carbureted system. I argue with my father that today's E.F.I (Electronic Fuel Injection) system is the wave of the future and the only way to go, but the old man continually reminds me of the way things used to be when he was young. Despite the outstanding performance of carbuated cars on the racetrack, I believe that the future of the automotive world lies in computer controlled fuel injection systems.
In order to understand the benefits of carburetors and fuel injectors, one must understand what they do. The carburetor is quite simply a fuel-metering device that operates under the lo .....
