... focus light properly unto the receiving plate, the retina. Early treatments included the wearing of lenses, which corrected sight abnormalities, or even physical surgery with the scalpel which could release the tension on the cornea and allow it to form into it's proper shape. Now, with the help of modern science and computers, it's possible to use lasers in surgical procedures to reshape the lens. The procedure consists of creating a "flap" on the outermost layer of the cornea, and folding it back, allowing the laser to change the refractive index of the old lens by effectively vaporizing the surrounding layers. This technology would definit ...

... becomes a larger and more prevalent issue, as there is more value to criminally gain and the stakes raise in the hacker’s ego game. Only seventy-five computer crime prosecutions were reported in the United States in 1986, according to the National Center for Computer Crime Data in Santa Cruz, Calif. By 1989, that number jumped to 500 prosecutions. that year cost businesses and banks and, ultimately, consumers about $500 million. "As the use of computers has increased, so has their criminal misuse" (Parker 54:G13). Computers are used to obtain credit card numbers, which are then used to order thousands of dollars worth of whatever the hackers want. "In recent ...

... Leary became interested in VR. This has also worried some of the researchers who are trying to create very real applications for medical, space, physical, chemical, and entertainment uses among other things. In order to create this alternate reality, however, you need to find ways to create the illusion of reality with a piece of machinery known as the computer. This is done with several computer-user interfaces used to simulate the senses. Among these, are stereoscopic glasses to make the simulated world look real, a 3D auditory display to give depth to sound, sensor lined gloves to simulate tactile feedback, and head- tracke ...

... files can quickly eat up the space on a hard drive and the administrator will need to keep an eye on these so that the system is not unduly slowed down by the system purging to make room for saved and working files. These deleted files can also be purged manually with the SALVAGE utility, which is a great way to make sure that a file you don't want others to see is completely removed from the system!!! For a user or administrator to retrieve a file using SALVAGE, the create right (right to edit and read a directory area or file) must be assigned to the directory in which the file resides. If the directory still exists, the files are put back into the directory ...

... will use a computer-based simulation and associated hardware to support the training of unit commanders and their battle staffs from battalion through theater-level as well as to support training events in educational institutions. Designed and built using modern computer technology, modern software engineering techniques, and validated algorithms and databases, it will allow units world-wide to train using their organizational equipment. A key feature of the system will be its use of technology to minimize the total Army's overhead associated with supporting training. The system will be designed to meet emerging Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) standards a ...

... of a nuclear attack? Communication networks of that time were chained point-to-point, with each place on the network dependent on the link before it. If one point in the network were blown up, the whole network would become useless. Paul Baran, one of the Rand thinkers on the project, conceived the idea for a new kind of communications network that wasn't organized point-to-point, but instead was set up more like a fishnet. He believed this structure could allow information to find its own path through the network even if a section had been destroyed. His eleven-volume report for the Pentagon was eventually shelved, but younger engineers realized that he had ...

... and personal information stored on computers has increased far beyond expectations. Governments, the military, and the economy could not operate without the use of computers. Banks transfer trillions of dollars every day over inter-linking networks, and more than one billion pieces of electronic mail are passed through the world's networks daily. It is the age of the computer network, the largest of which is known as the InterNet. A complex web of communications inter-linking millions of computers together -- and this number is at least doubling every year. The computer was originally designed as a scientific and mathematical tool, to aid in performing intense ...

Businesses also focus on other companies to sell their products. General Electric sold machine and appliance parts using a new business to business technology called "extranet". GE used its successful "extranet" to roll in 1996 online sales of one billion dollars. Another very successful type of business on the net is the coming of services backed by research, such as discount stock trading, including e.Schwab and a Web-only company called E*Trade.
