From the Paper
"Afemann begins with Internet hosts statistics from Network Wizards. There were almost 20 million hosts on the Internet in July 1997. The US gets about sixty per cent of all Internet hosts while the Third World is participating with a mere three per cent. The paper goes on to say that about 82.5 per cent of worldwide Internet hosts are in the G7-countries, which make up only about ten per cent of world population. However, the most populated countries of the Third World, namely China, India, Brazil and Nigeria all together make up only 0.6% of all hosts although they possess about a third of world population. In Nigeria, the most populated country in Africa, there were only four Internet hosts in January 1997."

Childhood Emotional Development, 2008.
An examination of childhood emotional development and how the social environment plays an important role in emotional development.

Abstract
This paper examines traditional schools of thought on childhood emotional development, recent research and probable future directions. The paper explains that one of the most important motivators for positive emotional childhood development is the social environment. The paper then points out that children who enjoy healthy positive social relationships tend to develop more proficiently on an academic and sporting scale; they are also more likely to have greater self-esteem and self-worth than those who endure relationship problems. The paper also looks at how the personality of adolescents is a very important part of childhood emotional development. The paper suggests that the development of children in modern times has been associated with sweeping global changes, perhaps most notably the Internet.
Outline:
Introduction
Vygotsky
Freud
Erikson
Ainsworth
The Social Environment: An Important Part of Emotional Development
Older Children and Adolescence
Current Childhood Development Concerns
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is for this reason that children are taught at school from an early age the importance of practicing good social skills and engaging in pro-social behaviors. The importance of a positive social environment for children has been recognized by research which suggests that social development problems cause greater problems over time, leading to adult mental health problems (ibid, p. 98). However, approaches to implementing social skills in children have varied over the decades. Thinking in the 1970s revolved primarily around three schools of thought. The psychoanalytical school of thought maintained that through interpretation of unconscious thoughts, children develop a latent awareness related to appropriate social behaviors. The humanistic approach suggested that children benefit most from empathy and accepting environmental conditions, and that these preconditions were sufficient for future emotional development. The third approach, the behavior modification approach, proposed that appropriate behaviors be treated with reinforcement, increasing the chance that healthy behaviors would appear as the child developed (ibid)."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of personal implications of the Internet. The writer explores the way people use the Internet to develop personalities and become part of online communities worldwide. The paper takes a look at the well-known site, Myspace.com as well as other sites. The writer argues that stereotypes have a significant impact on perception as people come online where no one can see them and become whatever they wish.
From the Paper
"The technological boom of the past 20 years has taken mankind to heights never before dreamed possible. Today with the click of a button one can plan and take vacations, manage stocks, shop worldwide and chat with people around the globe. While the ability to shop and pay for purchases is fun, there have been many years of paying for things in alternative fashion including credit card by phone. The real innovation when it comes to the Internet experience is the connection with other people. The Internet community has provided an explosion of new availability to explore other cultures and communities. In addition, the Internet provides an arena to become whatever and whoever one wants to become. The young man who is so shy at school can become a football hero online simply by typing that he is one. The woman who weighs 400 pounds and has never had a date can become a professional model online and woo the men who "chat" with her under her screen name of "Glamourbabe". Regardless of what a person seems to be in real life they can go online and become someone completely different. People who spend time online often participate in two kinds of communication. They are involved with emails that they may send to family and friends one on one, and they are often also involved in an online community in which they take part in open discussion with the entire group through chatrooms or message board/newsgroups. Myspace.com and other Internet sites have recently come under fire when predators have taken on different personalities through the sites and lured youngsters to their death or harm by pretending to be someone they aren't as well."

Abstract
This paper discusses the growth of e-commerce and explores the different applications that were developed for use in e-commerce. One of these, XML, is explored in detail, including its development, its advantages over HTML for e-commerce, and the companies that first used it. The paper discusses the advantages of e-commerce and conversely, e-commerce's failures.
Contents: Early Application Developments for E-commerce; XML; Primary & Early Users of Leading Edge Applications; Development of Products by Businesses and Industries; Leaders and Followers; Applying Technologies to Business Problems and Solutions; Successes and Failures; The Future; Vision
From the Paper
"Among the more recent application developments for the web is the Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) designed to improve the functionality of the Web by providing more flexible and adaptable information identification. (?The XML FAQ,? Jan 2002). The flexibility and extensibility of XML are very significant features since at present further development of the Web is held back by important constraints due to dependence on a single inflexible document type-HTML (the Hypertext Mark-up Language most frequently used on the web) which is already stretched to the limit with over-use and has severe limitations for data transfer and storage."

Third World Economic Development, 2005.
This paper discusses that technology, especially the internet, has not adequately reached the poor in the less developed third-world nations, thus limiting their economies.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in a time when computers and the internet could easily elevate the poor nations of the world, these developing nations are not getting their fair share of the twenty-first century's technological boom; yet globalization and the many technological breakthroughs in social, business and economic realms should benefit everyone on the planet. The author points out that the internet requires a phone connection, a computer and modem and electricity; the third-world does not have these basic necessities for the bulk of its citizens. The paper concludes that, unfortunately, there are no immediate solutions that would reduce the technology division between first and third-world nations; unless there is a complete reengineering of the social segregation of the haves and have not's.
From the Paper
"It would then seem obvious that putting computers in Third World or less developed nation's schools would also enhance the quality of life for the poor. Consider Africa; the Internet would enhance the community's schools, healthcare facilities, governmental operations and rural farms. In other words, it would raise the potential of all these levels of people. Of course, a large number of third world countries are connected to the Internet, but the majority of those connections are accessed via satellites which capture Internet transmissions and systematically relay them back to the United States for processing. These connections are also not usually made by the average Third World citizen."

Abstract
As more and more human activities can be undertaken on the internet, such as entertainment and commerce, the challenge is set now for governments and international institutions to ensure high levels of security for electronic communications, both private and commercial. Through the analysis of the technological background, the international legislative framework and sociological issues, the paper evaluates and highlights the main drawbacks and problems related with electronic communication. It identifies the structural, legislative and sociological reasons which prevent a generalized adoption of means of authentication and secure communication on-line, such as electronic signatures. The paper indicates solutions and guidelines to conduct electronic commerce and electronic communications to a broader diffusion and to build the average man?s confidence in trading and interacting online.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Apart from these evaluations, both signatures are mechanisms for secure information management and ?symbols that signifies intent? , specifically the intention to authenticate a documents. Intent means that a security system must guarantee the non-repudiation of a message containing a declaration by assuring that the sender cannot later deny having sent that message. The application of this function in the electronic context presents the most problematic issues because of the unclear definition of the non-repudiation technical meaning . The uncertainty of this definition and the doubts about the limits of the binding capacity of a declaration electronically signed are probably one of the main reasons of the scarce confidence in using e-signatures to conclude on-line transaction."

Abstract
This paper presents a case of a student in a fifth-grade class (eleven years of age) who has submitted a book report that has been plagiarized from an Internet site. The paper first describes the student's behavior according to the theories of child development and human behavior. The paper then focuses specifically on Lev Vygotsky's theories and discusses what approach should be undertaken to help this student improve his or her performance on essays.
From the Paper
"To end, it is fairly evident that there is a complex link between language and cognition that we ignore at our peril. More than that, Lev Vygotsky's work on child development gives us a measure of just how meaningful the environment around a child really is as he or she expands her psychological and intellectual wings. By comparison, the work of Jean Piaget provides us with some benchmarks but not with substantive suggestions. Ultimately, while the situation is not ideal, a therapeutic approach coupled with a strong support system might be all that is needed to turn this situation around."

Abstract
This paper explains that a Web page may seem to be the most difficult coding problem but, in actuality, the use of Internet-bound software makes it fairly easy. The true difficulty is the coding and implementation of the Local Area Network and operating system for the organizational network layer and hardware systems. The author points out that the physical writing of software code entails many more steps of actual testing, which is performed before, during, and after each small programming task is accomplished; the key is to utilize a process of testing that is specific, detailed, and measurable. The paper stresses that one of the more critical things to accomplish in the implementation phase is the understanding of the new system or program through proper code documentation because it helps everyone get a grasp of exactly what is or was expected of a system or program and develops a blueprints for training.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The typical implementation process entails a project team installing applications and systems on a customer's or organization's production platform which usually is followed up with whatever training and acceptance testing is needed and therefore leads to customer sign-off on the application or system. This implementation is for International Lumberyards, Inc., who first did a detailed needs assessment which verified that the implementation of a new and more modern software and hardware approach was in order that could be financially justified in regard to the organization's overall return on investment. The company had successfully completed the necessary information-gathering as well as utilizing various other techniques in the reengineering project and was prepared to implement the new code and equipment."
