Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the various methods of data input. The paper takes a look at the accuracy, convenience and quality of these methods of data input, focusing primarily on the accuracy of each.
From the Paper
"When dealing with printed questionnaires, keyboard entry is the best choice for data input. Unlike handwriting, which most of the times is unclear and therefore severely affects the accuracy of data input, the keyboard method avoids uncertainty. Among this method's advantages, one of the most important is that most people are familiar with using keyboards and with the key's layouts, so there is no or little training required for using keyboards. Also, an optical mark recognizer can be used. Optical mark recognition is a fast and accurate data input method that basically refers to capturing data by contrast reflectivity at predetermined positions on a page. This data input method presents several advantages, like the wide range of application. It can be applied for community surveys, consumer surveys, tests and assessments, evaluations and feedback, data compilation, product evaluation, inventory counts, membership subscription forms, and other printed material. Also, the optical mark recognizer identifies rapidly the answers marked by users and calculates scores. However, this method has its disadvantages also: it is not suitable for large amounts of text, or some data can be lost in the scanning process. "

Abstract
This paper highlights the importance of ensuring that all data input to a system is error-free. The paper points out that, as the uses for data expand and as the amount of data input increases, the need for accuracy of input also increases. The paper then provides recommendations for optimal methods of data input for several different situations.
From the Paper
"Computer systems, software, and applications are basically created to provide efficiency in accomplishing a task. If the data used by a system is inaccurate, what help and sense will a computer system provide to its users? Accuracy of data input is important because data is considered as the life of a successful system operation. Jack Olson has the following view on the importance of data. Such importance provides the reason why accuracy of data input is similarly important."

Abstract
This paper analyzes what makes a quality historical movie. The analysis focuses on authenticity and accuracy, and the paper includes why it is difficult to render historical authenticity and accuracy in the case of particular personages and/or events.
From the Paper
"The production of historical film requires a number of considerations in order to be considered a great historical film with respect to accuracy. From authenticity to avoiding inventions added for their own sake, producing a great historical film requires more than producing a merely successful narrative film. Films like "The Birth of a Nation" and "Gone with the Wind" may be considered great films about the Civil War but they are prevented from being considered great historical films because they are not historically accurate."

Historical Accuracy in "Midway", 2008.
A film review of Jack Smight's "Midway".

Abstract
This paper introduces and analyzes the film "Midway" directed by Jack Smight. Specifically, it discusses the film and its depiction of the historical battle of Midway. The paper points out that "Midway" is a historical film that uses archival footage to make the action seem more realistic. The paper claims that the historical perspective of this film is overall very accurate, but that there are some lapses in truth. It argues that Hollywood melodrama makes some of the information in the film questionable at best. The paper concludes that, to watch the film for entertainment makes sense, but to base historical fact on the film will only disappoint and misinform the viewer.
From the Paper
"The film shows how military choices and tactics led up to the battle, and how, for the first time, the battle was essentially fought from the air, with the two navies never actually seeing each other. For this reason, the battle is extremely historic, and that is one of the reasons the filmmakers chose to create the film. In addition, it seems in the 70s that there was considerable anti-war sentiment after the war in Vietnam and college unrest, and several WWII films were created during this time, such as "Tora, Tora, Tora!" (1970) which tells the story of the Pearl Harbor attacks from the Japanese point of view, and "Patton" (1970), which tells the story of the life of General George Patton. It seems that Hollywood was attempting to create more patriotism in America by reminding Americans of the great victories during World War II, and this film fits into that category quite nicely."

Twenty Thousand Leagues of Accuracy, 2002.
A detailed discussion about Jules Verne's book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea."

Abstract
In this analysis of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne, the writer of this paper takes the reader on an exploratory journey of the story itself and then works to compare the culture of the people on the submarine to actual cultures. The writer concludes with a discussion about the comparison.
From the Paper
"Many times in literature the author will use the story to portray or convey some truth in fiction about the culture he is writing about. This was the case with Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. In this book the author takes painstaking efforts to convey many details with extreme accuracy relating to the culture of life at sea and the findings that occur. Other aspects of the culture are not as easily defined because of the various nations that the shipmates come from. However, the culture of sea life is a culture that crosses all barriers and Verne does an excellent job of painting a mental picture for the reader about the culture that his characters lived in the story and would have lived had they been real."

Diversity, Accuracy and Free Speech, 2005.
This paper discusses reasons why centralized and increased control of the media harms audiences.

Abstract
This 6-page undergraduate paper considers the debate concerning whether increased centralized control of the media should be implemented. Reviewing the key issues of the debate from seven sources, this paper finds that increased control of the media is currently occurring thanks to government and military pressures and thanks to ownership that places the control of most media outlets into the hands of a few large media corporations. This paper further finds that this increased control is harmful, as it results in less reliable and diverse media coverage and less dissemination of information.
From the Paper
"As a result of the events of 11 September 2001 and the increased rise of multimedia and computer media, some have called for increased centralized and consolidated control of the media in this country. They argue that increased consolidated control - through consolidated, centralized ownership and through external controls would create a media that is more safe and effective. Through consolidated and centralized media control, it is argued, a few large companies would control media outlets. The amount of media control these companies would have, would allow them to disseminate information more quickly through all media channels. Offensive and harmful content would be controlled more effectively and, it is claimed, media would be more accessible since larger media companies would be able to afford to give audiences more information at reduced prices."

Input Devices, 2004.
Provides an overview of the importance and variety of computer input devices.

Abstract
This paper discusses how computers would be useless without input devices and how even small-scale computers, including calculators and GPS navigation systems, require some input from the human being in order to work properly and produce worthwhile output. It examines how some of the everyday input devices, like keyboards, mice, joysticks, and microphones, have reached increasingly more sophisticated levels of technology. It also shows how other input devices that are available to the general public, but are generally used in commercial settings, include touch-screens, keypads for ATMs and bank card purchases, credit card scanners, bar code readers, and more.
From the Paper
"The portable navigation systems currently out on the market are very helpful for drivers, hikers, and campers. They usually require the user to input coordinates in a cumbersome manner, by scrolling down a list and manually inputting navigational points of reference. This tedious process has been recently made more streamlined by the introduction of the touch screen GPS system. However, this is really no different from the technology used for touch screen computers; the difference is in the output of the computer in this case."

Abstract
This paper discusses the communication inputs that surround human beings. The paper discusses the varying nature of these inputs, depending on who they are, where they live, their socioeconomic circumstances, their birth order, their gender and numerous other factors. The paper suggests that they play a major role in forming our worldviews, and even in shaping our identities.
From the Paper
"Communication Inputs: Whose Agenda is it Anyway? All human beings are constantly surrounded by communication inputs. The nature of these inputs varies, depending on who they are, where they live, their socioeconomic circumstances, their birth order, their gender, and numerous other factors. It is well worthwhile to study these communication inputs, as they play a major role in forming our worldviews, and even in shaping our identities. Examining them carefully will help us to see how valid and accurate our worldviews are. An example of how ubiquitous communication is, can be found in a research study into how much music people are exposed to. "

Abstract
This paper begins with a definition of both Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and Input and Interaction Theory. The paper then goes on to note how the two theories differ and where they are similar in their approach, as well as how they are applied to everyday issues, such as teaching language.
From the Paper
"Sociocultural theory was first conceived and developed by Russian psychologist Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky?s, (1896-1934). His most productive years were at the Institute of Psychology in Moscow (1924?34), where he expanded his ideas on cognitive development, particularly the relationship between language and thinking. His writings emphasized the roles of historical, cultural, and social factors in cognition and argued that language was the most important symbolic tool provided by society. His book, ?Thought and Language? is a classic text in psycholinguistics? theoretical contributions to the development of curricula and teaching strategies."

Abstract
The paper examines the effects of communication on the life of the writer. It looks at the increasing reliance on the mass media and the "new media" and analyzes how this shapes opinions and the construction of a world view. The ramifications of such a reliance are discussed.
From the Paper
"In surveying the dominant communication inputs in my life I am struck by how much of the information I consume on a daily basis is mediated information. While some might not consider this to be surprising, from my personal perspective it is surprising because of my critical point of view regarding traditional mass media such as television and television news had led to my increasing reliance upon "new media", the Internet, blogs etc. as my main sources of information."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the designing and building of projects or software requires software engineers to analyze data input or data flow systematically, processing or transforming data, data storage, and information output, within the context of a particular business. It outlines various models, methods, and approaches that are currently being used by the software development industry and illustrates object-oriented techniques behind the building of software in association with Unified Modeling Language (UML). Emphasis is also made on the accessing of information through various scripting languages. It also explains the concept of the database and the information manipulation in a database.
From the Paper
"A very different approach to system development is object oriented system design. Object oriented techniques, which are based on object oriented programming concepts can help analysts respond to the organizational demands for new systems that must undergo continuous maintenance, adaptation and redesign. In object programming, objects are created that include not only code about data, but also interactions about operations to be performed on it. Operational prototypes are usually utilized during the design phase, often done via Rapid Application Development. Object Oriented Design makes use of objects, classes, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism."
