Abstract
The paper explores the rationale behind the advocacy of telemedicine in patient education and uses the example of a prevalent public health problem such as diabetes. The paper discusses patient education and self-care theory and then shows how diabetes is a disease that can greatly benefit from cost-cutting innovations such as telemedicine. The paper concludes that telemedicine can be implemented successfully in many settings and provide a variety of patient populations with high patient satisfaction and favorable disease management outcomes.
Outline:
Introduction
The Role of Telemedicine
Patient Education and Self-Care Theory
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Being an expert and educator, the health professional serves as a reliable resource for persons to turn to when they wish to obtain information regarding disease. These two go hand-in-hand where patient care is involved, as being an expert does not necessarily imply being an educator (although the reverse is). Aside from the obvious connotation of being an expert in disease, the health care professional not only serves as a source of knowledge for disease, but as a resource for helping patients seek answers for themselves. These roles not only involve direct education, but also methods in modifying patient and family attitudes and practices to seek health-promoting behavior, rather than those detrimental to health."

Abstract
The paper discusses how technical innovation impacts organizational behavior, intra-relationships and interrelationships. The paper looks at how electronic media and digital communications influence our thinking processes. The paper then examines the effects of changing technology in the workplace.
From the Paper
"For instance, people today are surrounded by electronic media along with more traditional print media, and many assume that this mass of sensory input from media has an effect on the way people think. Of course, media has an influence on what we think, as the money spent on advertising indicates as companies try to influence our thinking, or as political parties try to gather support for their candidate or cause. On a deeper level, though, all this media may alter the way human begins actually to think, meaning not what they think but how. With computer technology in particular, analysts see the machine operating in imitation of human thought. The issue now is whether human thought is beginning to imitate the machine and will do so even more in the future."

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between an image of a technology and a quote about the type of technology shown in the image. The writer notes that the image and the quote are from different sources, and the paper examines what each is trying to portray. The paper examines what the image and the text are conveying on their own, and whether there is something that an image can project that text cannot, and vice-versa. Finally, this essay examines what the image and the text would say if placed together.
From the Paper
"The image chosen for this assignment can be found at website textually.com which is a forum about texting and SMS. It is in the archives forum of cell phone etiquette. The image shows a young man dressed in a business suit talking on a cell phone, while he is surrounded by a cell-booth, or what can be described as being a mini-version of a phone booth. The image is intriguing and perhaps fun. It draws the viewer in, because there is no clear explanation given by just looking at the picture. The image is not an advertising image. It is ambiguous and seems to require some sort of text or quote for a more precise interpretation. "

"In New York City, the NYPD is not the only police agency operating in the city. The Port Authority Police Department is another such entity, with a jurisdiction that ranges over a radius of twenty-five miles and covers all of the major arteries into New York City. JFK alone encompasses 5,000 acres with ten terminals and can be seen as being like a small city. The PAPD has an authorized strength of 1,400 police. AS in most departments, the PAPD commanding officers use the analytical data they can gather so that they can recognize anticipated public safety threats and allocate their resources to those threats. State-of-the-art communication capabilities are an important component of this preventive strategy, and to this end, the PAPD has placed mobile data terminals inside police cars to enable police to communicate immediately with motor vehicle bureaus and other government entities for fast background checks of detained persons (Morrone, 1998, paras. 9-12)."

Computers and American National Defense, 2008.
A discussion on computer terrorism in the United States.
1,483 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 49.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the electronic defense system in America (one of the world's most powerful states) is protected and how vulnerable it may be. The paper explains what the consequences of a security breach could be, and what additional steps we should take to protect ourselves. The paper then discusses computer terrorism. The writer believes that being the world's hyper-power is a bulwark in many ways against attack, but the elevated position of the US does not leave it invulnerable. The writer concludes that the US needs to integrate its human resources and to "lean" a little more on the expertise and crime-fighting capabilities of allies, and if it does those things, the risk of computer terrorism will be reduced.
From the Paper
"The most obvious step that the American military takes in combating hackers and terrorists is to prepare its young cadets for the challenges these individuals pose. Unsurprisingly, the Air Force Academy, the Military Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy, the Coast Guard Academy and the Naval Postgraduate School have all spent the last six years conducting something called the annual Cyber Defense Exercise. This competition pits student representatives from each school against professional hackers, with the school that enjoys the most success against the "pros" receiving top awards."

Technology and Teenagers, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the workforce of the future is getting through school with the assistance of technology on a level that has never been experienced before. Technology is creating a savvy population of Internet and IT users. The paper then looks at how, along with the positives of this rapid advancement, are the negatives of being able to break the rules and take shortcuts and how the Internet is easily used to get one step ahead of the teacher. The paper contends that responsibility for the positive use of technology is not solely the creators to maintain and that teenagers need to take responsibility for the amount of hours they spend online or attached to some piece of technology--too much of a good thing always becomes a bad thing.
From the Paper
"Teenagers, parents and teachers all agree that the internet is a very powerful and positive educational tool when used correctly. Thirty-seven percent of teens say that their peers use the internet to cheat on their school work while 27% of parents agree (Dixon et al., 2005). Where are the teachers in this deception? Proctoring exams is rapidly becoming a business of its own. Teachers and school administrators who may not be as technology savvy as students are hiring companies to administer end of year exams to cut down on the chases of a student cheating on a final exam."

Part of this stems from how eBay integrates security policies to minimize fraud and integrates other aspects of its product line within the overall company structure."

From the Paper
"Talking about From Scratch reminds me - I check the T.G. Quick-Meat Cloner to see how the steak is doing. Perfect. It's grown to almost 30 centimeters of prime rib steak. I put it in the Cloner three days ago, timing it perfectly so that it would be just the right size for tonight. Man, am I going to impress my fiancee with my culinary skills - it's hard to mess up a steak so fresh it was only born three days ago! I'm so glad I decided to go with the Tissue Genesis Quick-Meat Cloner."

Abstract
This paper looks at how sophisticated computer systems are a necessary cost that corporations are finding themselves faced with in order to maintain control and reliability of their computer systems. Without them accountants will be unable to appropriately balance and file reports. The paper discusses how, in order to reduce this, some corporations have put account managers in place to police their customers when checks are received and bills issued. This puts an additional level of checks and balances in place to try to eliminate inaccurate postings. The paper concludes that, although mistakes will occur even with data analysis systems and security protocols in place, the fact is that the best companies can hope for is to reduce inaccuracies.
Outline:
Fraud or Inaccuracies
In the Name of Sarbanes-Oxley
Technological Advances
Enterprise System
Security Reduce Threats
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In today's market place data is being channeled into networks through user screens that are more than likely customers' computers. They submit their orders via their own computer systems while inadvertently place security responsibilities to others. With the Internet, online ordering is putting the customer in control of what he needs and when he needs it. This puts additional pressures on companies to not only protect the data that they currently have within the walls of their servers but to also maintain some degree or order in the process flow of data from a customer. While doing this it must also be realized that customer computers must be preserved from receiving corrupt or virus laden files from the company systems when they are attached to the corporate website or host providers.
