Technological Literacy
<view this essay>.... . What is intereresting in the current debate is that researchers and social commentators are looking at much broader social and cultural consequences of the impact of computer mediated communication and, even among educationists, concerns are not confined exclusively to pedagogical and curriculum issues. It seems that what is on everyone's mind are questions of significant and permanent social change seeping into every crevasse of our everyday work and private lives. Many of the issues that are being raised today, and which I will sketch out here, deal with abstract notions about the virtual and `real', about time and space, about `body-less' interactions an .....

Internet Censorship
<view this essay>.... and these pages are one hundred percent legal. Pornography is one of the, most if not the most, controversial of all these pages, but there are new ways to fight porn.

Power Generation In The Future What We Should Do In Australi
<view this essay>.... The coal infrastructure is already in place so we should make use of it, but it does pollute the environment so that is why we should reduce the amount of operating plants. Doing this will reduce the amount of pollution that is released into the atmosphere. Coal power is also reliable.
Solar
Solar should only generate 15% because it is not a reliable power source: the sun does not shine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in one spot. If the weather does change and the panels can’t generate the power required the nuclear plant/s can fluctuate to cope with the power needs of the general population. Solar power uses an infinite resource so it is worthwhile mak .....

History Of The Propeller
<view this essay>.... mathematician. Paucton envisioned a flying machine that had two airscrews, one for propulsion and the other for sustaining flight. The idea of using an airscrew for propulsion was utilized during the late 1700’s to early 1800’s. Only after experimentation did the inventors conclude that more propulsive power could be obtained by merely straightening out the surface of the airscrew blades. Attempts to utilize the “straight blade” propeller were made by balloonists. These contraptions were quite strange and hardly fulfilled their purpose of actually propelling the balloon. The basic propeller had evolved from the simple concepts of da Vinci, and was slowly becomi .....

Cable Modems And ADSL
<view this essay>.... by inevitable reductions in available cable modem speed. Cable modems share a line with tens of other users; as more users join a line, the capacity available to any one inevitably drops. The top speeds of both technologies will not be usable for years anyway. Internet server speeds, network delays, and personal computer limitations will hold usable rates at or below 2 Mbps for some time. ADSL offers higher security and reliability profiles. Both technologies are at about the same state of maturity and integration. Cable modems may offer a less expensive network solution because of its shared architecture, but that differential is more than offset by infrastr .....

Limitations On Robotic Technology
<view this essay>.... to rid the world of humans the robots try to exterminate humans from the face of the Earth. The humans have little to no chance of survival because they built the robots to be perfect and very intelligent. Where is the limit on society's safety?

Faster and better are the keys for words that society yearns for. The technological age is in full force and robots are in the main stream of this tidal wave.
