... mirrors, so that the environment was visible through the TV displays. It was not yet designed to provide a surrounding environment. It was not until the mid '80's that virtual reality systems were becoming more defined. The AMES contract started in 1985, came up with the first glove in February 1986. The glove is made of thin Lycra and is fitted with 15 sensors that monitor finger flexion, extension, hand position and orientation. Connected to a computer through fiber optic cables. Sensor inputs enable the computer to generate an on screen image of the hand that follows the operator's hand movements. The glove ...

... superiority in a war of systems that either don't exist yet or won't be coming until America until the new fall TV season rears its ugly head, we at Sega Radar feel obligated to bask in the warm, charisma-building, hype-free glow of the Dreamcast and its many wonderful game titles. Also, we plan to conclusively prove that the Dreamcast makes it 33 percent less likely you'll ever walk for six hours with a piece of broccoli stuck in your teeth, or toilet paper on your shoe. But you knew that already. While screen shots from PlayStation2 titles filter in from Japan, we are all, of course, duly impressed. No on ...

... came from Blaise Pascal, who invented the first digital calculating machine in 1642. It performed only additions of numbers entered by dials and was intended to help Pascal's father, who was a tax collector" (Buchsbaum 13). However, in 1671, Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz invented a computer that could not only add but, multiply. Multiplication was quite a step to be taken by a computer because until then, the only thing a computer could do was add. The computer multiplied by successive adding and shifting (Guides 45). Perhaps the first actual computer was made by Charles Babbage. He explains himself rath ...

... system known as OS/2, but will they have a chance? Microsoft may be unstoppable with its foundation, influence and power but is that enough to practically own the computerized world as we know it? Usually, when we mention Microsoft in any form, we must have the registered trademark symbol right the word. The name is a well-known word in virtually everyone's life. Although it is the super-empire it is today, Microsoft was once a small software business ran by a young Bill Gates in a tiny office. Consisting of a few young adults, they were not progressing as much as they would like too. Their competitor, Digital Res ...

... the more they become adept in the use of the machine. When the time comes for a more advanced machine to be installed, such as a computer, the worker may not be able to cope with the massive change. The computer is an example of a new machine that has created new jobs while driving out workers who were either unwilling or unable to deal with the new technology. Computers have drastically changed many of the jobs on the market. Twenty years ago you could leave high school and become a car mechanic without any knowledge of computers, but now you must have a college degree to do any car work. The workers nee ...

... of the "net-generation". The web has provided a new medium for these groups, one which covers a distance previously thought unattainable, and with this comes the ability to reach out farther into our society with messages of hate. The technological advances made as the Internet grew in popularity also allowed these groups to provide a new and unique look into the heart of bigotry in our society, and one which appeals to the instant gratification type of lifestyle in which we live. The accessability of these hate sights is also of great concern to those hoping to keep the Internet a safe place for people of a ...

... chance of a spill similar to Chernobyl. As we saw in the Chernobyl video, there is great danger when using nuclear energy. If this were to happen is the United States, the risk of mortality is much higher because the area’s in which there would be a plant such as a big city are very densely populated. Because of these facts, I do not think that the U.S. should renew its efforts to develop more nuclear plants. The United States should put the money which they would have used in order to renew their power plants, and use it to research others ways of receiving power. For example, if the U.S. developed solar power ...

... primary cells. Batteries in which the chemicals can be reconstituted by passing an electric current through them in the opposite direction are known as secondary cells, are rechargeable cells. The primary battery is the most common type of battery used today, invented by the French chemist Geoges Leclanche in the late 1860’s. At the time this invention was very important and helped the start of the industrial revolution. It allowed people with portable electricity. This popular invention was called the dry cell or flashlight battery. The Lechlanche cell is very similar to the dry cell we use today. The positiv ...
