As a slight cripple, she shies away from the world, hiding among glass unicorns and other figurines, and listening to her phonograph records. The real world unnerves her, deeming her unable to even handle typing class at Rubicam’s Business College. She couldn’t even type from nerves, her hands jittering across the keys. And when she tried to take her speed typing test, she vomited on the floor, and almost had to be carried to the washroom. While she was supposed to be in class, Laura simply…

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology that uses radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag. A RFID reader can read the tag from upto several feet away. However unlike barcode, it does not need to be within direct line-of-sight of the reader to be scanned. There are two different type of tags: one is passive tag which collects energy from a nearby RFID reader 's radio waves; and another one is active tag that has a…

Lee A. Jacobus describes Plato’s allegory of the cave as “a story in which the characters and situations actually represent people and situations in another context (448).” Plato’s work is written as a conversation between himself and Socrates. The story describes prisoners in a cave, who have only seen what their captors let them. These captors, or “people with gear,” cast shadows on the walls, which the prisoners interpret as reality. Later, they set one of the prisoners free. After leaving,…

The innovation of the RFID chip or the Radio Frequency Identification has been a critical piece of technology that has been around since the 1950’s.. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and perhaps other information, on a microchip known as identity chip. A microchip implant could be used as a virtual barricade, to limit movement, and even to act as a tag for prisoners. In the realm of medicine, it could…

In the first place let begin by saying what is the (LRAD)? It is The Long Range Acoustic Device. Which is a loud megaphone/microphone or speaker to convey important messages to individuals who makes loud noise and disturb the environment. Certainly, the LRAD is not a less lethal weapon. Of course, the LRAD is used to get the attention of a large crowd or a criminal is about to break the law by disturbing the peace.

the Radio Star" by The Buggles. In addition to its ~ this song expresses a theme of older technology being overshadowed by newer, more advanced technology. Trevor Horn met Geoffrey Downes at an audition for Tina Charles’ backing band in 1976. While neither of them got the part, the two got along and kept up communications. In 1977 the two got together to form the group The Buggles with Downes on the keyboard and Horn on vocals. The duo worked on writing and recording…

“Welcome to New York,” was all it took for me to wake me from my four hour and a half nap. I readjusted in my seat to look out the large window that my head had just been resting only to observe grimy white subway tiles and cracked gray concrete. Quickly, I realized that we were driving through the Lincoln Tunnel that connects New Jersey to New York City. The small, hazy, yellow lights that filled the tunnel bounced off the red velour bus seats, creating strange patterns; I held my breathe,…
