... to "programming" rules that the user must memorize, all ordinary arithmetic operations can be performed (Soma, 14). The next innovation in computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented the first "digital calculating machine". It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by turning dials. It was designed to help Pascal's father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32). In the early 1800's, a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could store up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Built in to his machine were operations that included everything a modern general-purpose computer wou ...

... quick cash from a machine at any hour of the day or night. A person with a degree in computer engineering has many options for a career. Many colleges offer electrical engineering curricula and computer engineering may be an offshoot. The University of Delaware describes a person with a degree in electrical engineering as a "generalist," with computer engineers as "specialists" who spend their time focusing on computer architecture and compiler design (University of Delaware / which_degree.html). Massachusetts Institute of Technology, considered one of the best schools for computer study, offers a similarly structured program (Glass 91). While both degree p ...

According to Barber, this Western tidal wave of cultural biased information and products will create a bi-polar world (Jihad vs. McWorld). However, Barber concludes that unless Jihad’s supporters (e.g. religious organization) embraces the Internets and the new markets it creates, the Jihad’s long-term survivability is low (Barber, 156). Schiller, Barber, and Hamelink maintain an antiquated view of cultural imperialism. They contend that in our current informat ...

... a computer will adjust how high the car rides from the ground. It lowers the car at highway speeds to make it more aerodynamic which will give you better gas mileage and makes the car easier to handle at these high speeds. The latest computer is an on-board navigational computer that will direct the driver into using the fastest and most efficient way to get to the destination. It will plan your route around any construction, traffic jams, and even inclement weather. If and when these cars break down, a mechanic will simply ask the car's on-board computer what is wrong, rather than having to go through a series of complicated troubleshooting tests. As ...
