SummaryThe battle for control of public airwaves is nothing new. Following in the steps of radio and cellular telephones, wireless Internet – or wireless fidelity, known and trademarked as WiFi – is becoming the next major wireless permanent infrastructure accessed in urban public space. As such, regulatory concerns arise about this third generation of wireless technology (Werbach 2003), as do conflicts in varied visions for the future. A number of the nation’s growing cities are working to build up the faculties needed for wireless Internet citywide, and with that growth comes the promise of networks and accessibility for all. A leading expert on wireless technology, Craig Mathias from FarPoint Group in Ashland, MA, explained, “Every major city is going to have some kind of citywide Wi-Fi access. It will become an expectation like electricity or telephone service” (Reardon 2005). Without always understanding the technology at hand, several major cities have already begun to commit resources to building necessary infrastructure, both to serve the general public as well as close the digital divide (Werbach 2003).Indeed, the prevalence of wireless Internet access continues to rise, beginning to catch up with broadband and high speed Internet connections that now service over 37 million people in the United States, up from just 7 million in 2000, according to the Federal Communication Commission (Lehrer 2006). Wireless Internet, requiring less complicated technical infrastructure, is a less expensive option if geography allows for its penetration into all areas attempting to access service from the same connection.

SummaryIndividuals living in today’s modern world have differing opinions concerning the so-called advantages of new technology that is available to us. Some are pro- innovation and believe that it has had a positive effect on our lives, while others believe that new technology has negatively influenced our existence. One such advance which has become extremely popular, but quite controversial is the use of e-mail. Some people, such as writers Judith Kleinfeld, Ed Boland, and Nicholas Negroponte argue that the use of e-mail has made our lives simpler in many ways. This includes the ability to be asynchronous, a simpler and less unpleasant way to give and receive bad news, and less of a commitment in romantic relationships. On the other hand, those on the side of writer Rob Nixon would agree that email has become too convenient to the point that it takes away crucial time from our busy lives that should be spent by our engaging in other activities.

SummaryKarl E. Weick is one of the most influential people when it comes to organizational strategy and information systems. He was born on October 31, 1936 in Warsaw, Ind. and has served as a theorist and information specialist for many years, most recently at the University of Michigan (where he teaches in the Ross School of Business).
In this paper I will be discussing Weick’s information system’s theory, one of his most well known, but in the past he has contributed many important theories and publications.

SummaryThe word “stranger” carries negative connotations in society, especially when associated with the Internet. Parents are lectured by authorities to monitor their children’s use of chat rooms. E-mail filters remove millions of unwanted and sometimes grotesque advertisements from strangers looking to make a quick buck every day. People are told to be wary of other people on networking sites. Even in the physical world, strangers are subjected to a keener eye and skepticism from those around them. But if you meet a stranger in a setting not defined by 1’s and 0’s, at least you can pin a face on his identity, a sense of security that cannot be attained online. Aside from societal worries, how can the online stranger overcome his bad rap when the word “strange” is the root of his name, suggesting “weird” and “foreign”? Who exactly is this dark, obscure person we’re told to stay away from?

SummaryEver since Microsoft released its newest installment in the Windows operating system line-up, titled Vista, computer users around the globe have been having mixed feelings about the highly anticipated product. Since its release in November of 2006, Vista has been slowly attempting to dominate the operating system market. The lush graphical elements (the use of DirectX 10) included in Vista, alone, have won over a large customer base. On the other side of the spectrum, countless customers are less than satisfied by the shady performance of the highly coveted operating system.
