Articles about Computers and The Internet
A Computer And Information Technologies Platform
As computer and information technologies become all pervasive, they
touch more and more on the lives of everyone. Even so, their
development and deployment remains unruly, undemocratic and
unconcerned with the basic needs of humanity. Over the past 20 years,
new technologies have dramatically enhanced our ability to collect and
share information, to improve the quality of work, and to solve
pressing problems like hunger, homelessness and disease. Yet over the
same period we have witnessed a growing set of problems which are
eroding the quality of life in our country. We have seen the virtual
collapse of our public education system. Privacy has evaporated.
Workplace monitoring has increased in parallel with the de-skilling or
outright disappearance of work. Homelessness has reached new heights.
Dangerous chemicals poison our environment. And our health is
threatened by the growing pandemic of AIDS along with the resurgence
of 19th century diseases like cholera and tuberculosis.
Quick Guide To Computer Cables
This guide is as complete and accurate as I can make
it, however, I can't be responsible for errors, omissions, typing
mistakes, bad downloads, or your dog biting you. I know that
somebody, somewhere is going to cross a wire. Best advice if you
want to build one of these cables: Complete the wiring all in one
work session. Then check the connections, preferably with an
ohmmeter. Go away for a while and do something else, then return
and CHECK the connections again.

he composition of this booklet was originally started because the Com-
puter Science department at Widener University was in desperate need of
documentation describing the capabilities of this "great new Internet link"
we obtained.
It's since grown into an effort to acquaint the reader with much of what's
currently available over the Internet. Aimed at the novice user, it attempts
to remain operating system "neutral"_little information herein is specific
to Unix, VMS, or any other environment. This booklet will, hopefully, be
usable by nearly anyone.
