Number of Words: 1449 / Number of Pages: 6
... The hardware that has developed so far is unable
to make the large calculations required by a virtual reality based machine.

will see the box, stop, examine it, wonder about it, and spend mental time
trying to figure it out. Given the proper circumstances, he might come back
later to look closely at the wiring, or even be so bold as to open the box. Not
maliciously, just out of curiosity. The hacker wants to know how things
work.(8)
Hackers truly are "America's Most Valuable Resource,"(4:264) as ex-CIA Robert

Number of Words: 4751 / Number of Pages: 18
... jokingly called it UNICS (UNiplexed
Information and Computing Service). The name stuck but the spelling was later
changed to UNIX. Soon Thompson was joined on the project by Dennis Richie and
later by his entire department.
UNIX was moved from the now obsolete PDP-7 to the much more modern PDP-11/20 and
then later to the PDP-11/45 and PDP-11/70. These two latter computers had large
memories as well as memory protection hardware, making it possible to support
multiple users at the same time. Thompson then decided to rewrite UNIX in a

self-destructive because there will not be enough purchasing power to grow the
economy,” M. B. Zuckerman. My feeling is that the trend from unskilled labor to
highly technical, skilled labor is a good one! But, political action must be
taken to ensure that this societal evolution is benefic ...

... users however, is the printer.
Many people have probably used a printer before, but it is just that they
never realize it is also a form of output.
As opposed to 'output', 'input' consists of components that take in
information from the users themselves so that the computer will know the
tasks it is supposed to perform and accomplish. The keyboard is classified
as a form of input because this is where the users enter commands and text.
There are many other forms of input as well. Nonetheless, many people just
don't realize them, or are too lazy to classify them. For instance, the
mouse ...

History Of The Intel Corporation
Number of Words: 416 / Number of Pages: 2
... is one of the biggest companies pulling in billions and billions of
dollars each year.
Intel has had many factors over the years that has allowed it to
monopolize the computer industry thus resulting in small competition. First of
all, Intel is almost 25 years ahead of it's competitors. Therefore, most
companies are just starting out and have little or no effect on Intel's sales.
