The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of computer technology on Jordanian children from the perspectives of their parents. The sample of the study consisted of 127 participants. Each participant is a parent of a child or children who owned a personal computer. Our findings revealed some of the positive as well as negative changes that have been manifested as a result of using computers. The study showed that children's behavior changes as a result of computer use. For example, children became less active as they spend time on the computer and less time devoted to exercising and playing. The most essential finding of this study was that a large number of parents reported that their children familiarized themselves with computer functions and parts and technological and computer concepts, such as chatting, e-mail, and digital games.

Electronic Commerce (e-commerce) is the process of buying, selling orexchanging products, services and information via computer networks. e- commerce is part of the e-business, where the scope of e-business more broadly, not just commercial but also include business partners, customer service, job vacancies. In addition to networking technologies www, e-commerce technology also requires a database or a database (database), e-mail or electronic mail (e- mail), and the form of non-computer technology as well as other delivery systems, and means of payment for e -Commerce. Given the electronic commerce (e- commerce) is then the customer can access and perform orders from various places. Given the current era of advanced technology is the customer who wants to access e-commerce does not have to be somewhere, it is because in the big cities in Indonesia have a lot of places that provide an internet access facility using only the laptop / notebook or by Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) using wifi technology. Thus the time is now very necessary and desirable companies to implement e-commerceservices. The use of e-commerce in Indonesia is still very limited. From the background that there is then the author will discuss how e- commerce pemanfaaatan in their business interests.

This article concerns the history of the curb cut metaphor as applied to personal computer technology in the 1980s. Disability advocates used the metaphor to argue the necessity for accessibility features on computers to enable greater access. To accomplish this goal, these advocates utilized a complex comparison between personal computers and sidewalk ramps to combat assumptions about who the intended computer user was and to argue for how people with different abilities could operate the same technology.

The present study examined the current status of computer use in early childhood education (ECE) by surveying active members of three mid-sized cities. An in-depth survey of seventy-five early childhood education directors provided demographic information about centers that have or have not incorporated computer technology into the programs as well as specific information about computer use. Less than half of the centers reported having a computer on the premises with users generally having only one available machine. Only half of the users had the accessories (e.g., sound cards, CD-ROM, etc.) necessary to run much of the present educational software appropriate for young learners. Among the respondents, there was overwhelming concern that the ECE staff lacked sufficient expertise or experience with computers to use them effectively. In contrast to the concerns and limitations, however, interest in introducing computer technology was high. Our results suggest that training may be necessary to facilitate the introduction of computers in ECE environments.

Changing Role

During the past 15 years, the computer has evolved from a simple drill-and-practice device to a flexible instrument for teaching psychological concepts and techniques. Readily available commercial and public domain software makes computer technology the choice for many teaching applications. This article surveys computer use and the changing role of teachers in the development of computer applications and introduces the Computers in Teaching section of Teaching of Psychology (ToP).

The Computer Technology Hassles Scale was developed to measure technostress or computer-related stress. The Computer Technology Hassles Scale was based on the idea that certain interactions with computer technology are perceived by people to be stressful or a “hassle.” Subjects rated a list of 65 “hassles” as to severity, using a graded response. To ascertain the relation of the Computer Technology Hassles Scale to other measures, the subjects were given the Perceived Stress Scale, a measure of global stress. Subjects were also given a measure of computer attitudes, the Computer Attitude Scale. Demographic data on each subject were also collected. The correlational analyses showed that scores on the Computer Technology Hassles Scale were significantly correlated with scores on the Perceived Stress Scale and the number of hours of computer use but not with attitudes toward computers. These results suggest that the Computer Technology Hassles Scale taps a dimension of psychological stress and that increased computer use for some people leads to increased computer-related stress.

The One

The problem of the description of artificially present industrial noises which are available at operation of personal computers is considered in work. These noises have both positive and negative effects when protecting the information typed by the user by means of the USB keyboard interface. The difficulties that arise in this case are due to the fact that the indirect radiation of electromagnetic fields is observed during the operation of all elements of computer technology. On the one hand, the presence of these noises distorts the useful signal, which in turn prevents the attacker from detecting reliable information that is transmitted. On the other hand, these noises prevent the creation of appropriate measures to ensure complete protection when typing by a user of a personal computer. The paper proposes to consider industrial noise in the form of three random processes, which are described by Johnson distributions.
