Abstract
The paper outlines the functionality and global-interconnectivity of the US Army's satellite communications network (SATCOM) and what the consequences would be if that system were to collapse. The paper discusses the strategic importance of such an information system and describes how a failure of remote, internet-based communications would threaten US security.
From the Paper
"To begin with, how might one describe the functionality and interconnectivity of the SATCOM network? Perhaps the best introductory description is that SATCOM is intended to connect ground troops to satellites and UAVs. The technology, at present, provides troops with satellite phones, antennae and modems from which troops in the field could receive important information - updated constantly and transmitted instantaneously. An Army spokesman describes the new-fangled WIN-T generation of the system (which is, of course, being constantly updated) as something in which soldiers in the field receive "advanced antenna" and "smaller form factors" that can be fitted onto vehicles so that information transmission can be conducted while formations are moving."

Abstract
The paper discusses Princess Diana's background, her marriage to Prince Charles, her divorce and finally, the accident that led to her death. The paper depicts the enormous media coverage of her life for all to see and some to exploit. The paper highlights the irony that although the media was responsible for her public popularity, the media was also blamed for playing a part in her death and exploiting her subsequent funeral.
Outline:
Introduction
Diana's Life and the Accident that Lead to Her Death
News Coverage of the Accident and Funeral
Documentary Television Programs
Television Shows and News-magazines
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Princess Diana was born Diana Spencer on July 1, 1961, to a mother and father who were royal heirs. When she was born, they expressed disappointment as they had wished she had been a boy. They subsequently divorced, however, Diana's childhood was filled with royal playmates and expensive boarding schools, yet she never obtained a university education (Taylor, 2000, p. 45). Ultimately, this was not an important factor, because her contact with the royal family, specifically Prince Charles would determine her life's course."

Abstract
This paper reports that nonverbal communication is an important part of a dating relationship, in both nonsexual relationships and in the initiation of sexual behavior within relationships. The paper goes on to assert that, prior to escalating a relationship from a purely dating one, to one of a sexual nature, relationships must be assessed thoroughly, combining both verbal and nonverbal communication cues, for an optimum outcome.
From the Paper
"A positive sexual relationship between couples stems from successful communication regarding sexual and nonsexual preferences when intimate. In 1999, a study was conducted using men and women who were in dating relationships, but not dating each other. They were interviewed regarding sexual preferences and communication of their likes and dislikes. The research indicated that individuals are much more communicative about their sexual preferences when they are in a relationship in which communication was encouraged, not only about sex, but also about all aspects of the dating relationship. It was also determined that couples who have a nonverbal agreement and understanding about sex can be more effective and preferred over open discussion about sexual likes and dislikes."

This paper critically examines the objective and interpretive communication methods.
1,227 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 41.95

Abstract
The paper explains that the objective approach to communication uses a scientific rational approach to communicate a message while the interpretive communication perspective presumes that all communications have multiple meanings with varying interpretations. The paper looks at the strengths and criticisms of objective communication and at the strengths of interpretive communication and concludes that the objective communication theory is the most effective.
Outline:
Introduction
Objective Communication and Its Assumptions
Objections to Objective Communication
Strengths of the Interpretive Communication Perspective
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The objective approach to communication uses a scientific rational approach to communicate a message. A theory regarding a message or a communication may appear plausible, however, it cannot be completely validated until it has been thoroughly tested (Griffin, 2005, p. 8). Therefore, those who use objective communication adopt a theory and then test it to see if everyone is covered by the communication (p. 14). A hypothesis is then formed to assert a specific prediction, which further testing will either validate or invalidate as a result. If repeated studies determine the outcome to be as expected, a more confident prediction can be made regarding which communications will be effective, and why, with recommendations as to how the communication should be implemented (p. 14)."

Discusses the benefits and disadvantages of modern technology such as computers and cell phones.

Abstract
This paper examines the benefits, as well as some of the negatives, that accompany modern technology. The paper then looks at how, although technology is a valuable and valued addition to modern society and touches the life of almost every citizen of an industrialized nation, it is possible that modern society has become too dependent on technology. The paper then concludes that this dependence may lead to a disconnect between the average citizen and the business world and may actually increase the possibility of sabotage of the business world infrastructure.
From the Paper
"Children as young as toddlers are using simple computers, which have been designed as toys to make them both appealing and easy to understand. Through the use of digital technology, children are able to interact with their toys in a way that was impossible in the past, engaging their minds by teaching them, for example, colors and shapes to the sounds of happy giggling or cheerful music . Learning becomes as simple as hugging a toy and as pleasurable as listening to music."

Abstract
This paper explains, using the article "The Eroded Self" by Jeffrey Rosen, that Jerry Springer can be called the digital man because he understands the American digital public who wants to see and hear people's sexual problems. The author points out that, historically, gossip usually was shared with a few people and sometimes strangers, but now gossip goes "live" through the television with the digital man, Jerry Springer bringing news that often can destroy lives. The paper reports that the digital man, Jerry Springer, begins by having people post these secrets and gossip on their web site all in the pretense of using them in future shows.
From the Paper
"In the past, people hid these secrets and hoped that they would never be revealed. Now, people do not care if they hurt others by revealing their secrets and the digital public wants to see and hear it. The talk show often discusses the secret someone is hiding about his or her life, the affair a person is having, cheating, a friend who steals her friend's boyfriend, or any other type of family drama. No gossip is too much for the talk show. Why? "
