The Computer as a Powerful Tool in Media Convergence
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the computer as a powerful tool in media convergence. The computer has quickly become the most powerful media tool today and is steadily adapting to all aspects of the media and is leading the way to media convergence. Because television and radio broadcasts using video and audio streams which can be converted digitally, computers have easily adapted to also offering video and audio features. Perhaps more importantly, in the convergence of the devices of computer and television, “television” viewers will be able to have autonomy in the programs they watch and the personal preferences which can be added to include local information among other options. Within the news media, the computer has become a vital tool not only in regards to information gathering but also in areas such as production and news-flow management in which computers coordinate productions using Web, audio and video feeds. Even the print media, which fundamentally seems historically different, has benefited with its convergence with the computer as newspapers and magazines which are available online can reach a far greater audience than using the traditional distribution methods. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The Computer In Criminalistics
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Staying one step ahead of the criminal has long been the first line of defense for law enforcement officers; when intelligence is gathered that precludes the ability for the offender to actually commit the crime, it serves to establish a pattern by which subsequent foils can also be utilized. However, technology has created quite a significant challenge for law enforcement to maintain that critical step ahead of criminal activity by virtue of the wholly comprehensive nature of cyber crime. As such, the entire criminal justice field has come to incorporate the very instrument that has facilitated so many crimes as part of its arsenal for thwarting those offenses and ultimately catching the lawbreakers. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
