BLOWN TO BITS CHAPTER 1 Digital explosion Why Is It Happening‚ and What Is at Stake? A chapter REVIEW Submitted BY: Earl Von f Lapura Technology has rapidly advanced‚ affecting standards on privacy‚ telecommunications‚ and criminal law. Every day‚ we encounter unexpected consequences of data flows that could not have happened a few years ago. Due to the bits explosion‚ the world changed very suddenly. Almost everything is stored in a computer somewhere. Court records‚ grocery purchases

Sue is an exponential discounter. Her discount function which illustrates her preference for money at various points in time is characterized as follows: ∂(t) = 1/(1.07)t for t = 0‚1‚2‚ ... Bob on the other hand is a hyperbolic discounter. His discount function is: ∂(t) = 1 for t = 0 = .8/(1.03)t-1 for t = 1‚2‚ ... a. What would Sue/Bob rather have: $1 today or $1.10 next year? Explain.

Experiment 13 Charging and Discharging Capacitors 1. Introduction In this experiment you will measure the rates at which capacitors in series with resistors can be charged and discharged. The time constant RC will be found. Charging a capacitor. Consider the series circuit shown in Fig. 1. Let us assume that the capacitor is initially uncharged. When the switch S is open there is of course no current. If the switch is closed at t=0‚ charges begin to flow and an ammeter will be able

Complex Numbers and Applications ME50 ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 1 Complex Numbers √ A complex number is an ordered pair (x‚ y) of real numbers x and y. For example‚ (−2.1‚ 3.5)‚ (π‚ 2)‚ (0‚ 0) are complex numbers. Let z = (x‚ y) be a complex number. The real part of z‚ denoted by Re z‚ is the real number x. The imaginary part of z‚ denoted by Im z‚ is the real number y. Re z = x Im z = y Two complex numbers z1 = (a1‚ b1) and z2 = (a2‚ b2) are equal‚ written z1 = z2 or (a1‚ b1) = (a2‚ b2)

Study Guide for Final Exam The final will be cumulative‚ although much of the test will focus somewhat more heavily on the material covered since the last midterm. There will be some questions that have been taken directly from the two earlier midterms. You’ll almost certainly recognize these questions; if you’ve reviewed the earlier exams with me in class (or in person) & know the answers to most or all of the questions‚ you’ll breeze through them. Read each question carefully‚ though‚ as

Historical Background Technology Forecasting is a product of the 20th century. Prior forecasting efforts were largely based upon the assumption and guidance of recognized experts in a given field and little more scientific thought was put into a forecast. Beginning in the 1930’s‚ a much more structured and formulated approach was placed upon the investigation‚ research‚ and predictability of future technologies. The United States Government played a critical role in emergence of technology forecasting
