In this sense, in relation to the political races currently underway, "eighteen percent of American adults cited the Internet as one of their two main sources of news about the presidential races, compared with 3% in 1996.

Privacy in the Information Age Privacy has never been as problematic an issue as it has been as a result of the information age. Because of lightning fast developments in information systems and technology, the mere use of a password has long ceased to be sufficient to ensure privacy when using the computer. Similarly information systems are used for surveillance of citizens while on any expedition outside of their home, from
Continental tropical (cT) air masses are hot, dry, unstable at low levels and generally stable aloft (upper-level ridge); they originate in northern Mexico. Continental polar (cP) or continental arctic (cA) air masses are cold, dry, and stable originating over northern Canada and Alaska as a result of radiational cooling. (Oklahoma Climatological Survey, 2004)" The greenhouse effect has been in the news for the last several decades especially with the resulting

Anesthesia Record Keeping Needs to Change Healthcare Informatics is a growing field (Ben-assuli, 2015). Because electronic record keeping has been shown to improve quality, decrease medical errors, improve documentation and decrease cost, there has been a large amount of encouragement toward the adaptation of electronic health records (EHR) (Bloomfield & Feinglass, 2008). In 2003, the Institute of Medicine published a report that defined the core functions necessary in all electronic health
The Progressives transformed America in a multitude of ways, some positive and some negative. Most importantly the situation offered voice to many who had not previously had voice, or at least gave permission to build one and created a completely different relationship between individuals, the economy and even government. Definitions used during the progressive era still apply to many attributes of social, political and economic reform today and many of
