Large Scale Integration Read Only Memory
1,859 wordsA common misconception about computers is that they are smarter than humans. Actually, the degree of a computers intelligence depends on the speed of its ignorance.

With a single result of this kind...

Type Of Cloning Desirable Traits
1,048 wordsGenetic engineering is the changing of an organism's DNA, genetic material to eliminate unwanted traits or to produce desirable traits. The earliest form of genetic engineering dates back to the scientist Gregor Mendel who did experiments with peas.

This method, called selective breeding, is still used today with plants and animals in order to increase food production. Corn plants ar...

Number Of People Standard Of Living
3,047 wordsPopulation Problem Two hundred years ago, Thomas Malthus, in An Essay on the Principle of Population, reached the conclusion that the number of people in the world will increase exponentially, while the ability to feed these people will only increase arithmetically (21). Current evidence shows that this theory may not be far from the truth. For example, between 1950 and 1984, the total amount of grain produced more than doubled, much more than the increase in population in those 34 years. More r...

Groening brought to the drawing board a warped satire on pop culture, which produced ripples in prime-time animation forever.
