Particularly with the relatively recent passage and renewal of the nation's 2002 Homeland Security Act, individual Americans are becoming more and more concerned that their retrieval and use of information is being tracked, not simply through the paper libraries of the nation, but also via the World Wide Web. However, although there is a concern that one can leave one's information imprint and compromise one's privacy when tracking relevant data -- for instance, a student researching hate groups could be unfairly targeted as a potential sympathizer with such organizations, if he or she leaves a 'track' on his or her high school's hard drive -- one cannot ensure that no data fingerprints are left upon personal or public hard drives or search engines themselves...
Relational databases are typically more able to handle ad hoc, speed-of-thought analytical querying for large user communities. But with the use of such online analytical processing, otherwise known as OLAP technology, the privacy of individual users may be more easily compromised, and patterns of use for users are more easily formatted, tracked and profiled. This is a happy occurrence for law services agencies, but not necessarily for innocent computer…
Rapid innovations in technology, particularly telecommunications and transportation, have accelerated the globalization process in recent years, and a number of positive outcomes have been associated with these trends, including increased levels of international commerce and improved cross-cultural understanding and communications. Despite these significant positive outcomes, the same globalization processes have also further exacerbated existing economic and political inequalities between developed nations such as the United States and the United Kingdom.

Knowledge and Learning and Teaching a Second Language: Researchers have divided the skills necessary for the acquisition of second language comprehension, particularly in the reading area, into two general theories: bottom-up, text-based, psycholinguistic approaches or top-down, socially-oriented conceptual approaches. In each case, lack of second language comprehension is attributed to misunderstanding of some key variable of the approach. For example, bottom-up studies tend to trace miscomprehension to misunderstanding of grammar
