The adventure of Anthony Scaletta While young, live so that was something to remember. Written by: Khikmatillayev Bakhodir A long time ago in a poor town of New York lived a family of Scaletta. The family was very poor and it consisted of four people: Father Robert Scaletta, mother Mary Scaletta, elder sister Frances Scaletta and the youngest son Anthony Scaletta. Robert Scaletta who was a good looking, tall and hard worker man, worked in a port for the low salary as a docker. And Mary Scaletta was a housewife to take care of the young children. They lived in a very small flat. Sometimes they did not have any money and even a slice of bread for breakfast. So when Frances was at her 14th she left school, because she and her mother had to begin working. They knitted wool socks at home and sell in the streets. By doing any types of work, they wanted to educate Anthony. Anthony was a young boy with dark hair and a thin face. He was very different from his other classmates at school. He always felt shy and did not speak to any of his classmates. He had only one and the best friend who was called Johnny Williams. Johnny was his next door neighbor. Anthony spent most of his time for study and sometimes he went for walking the streets of New York with Johnny and they usually talked about their impracticable dreams. Nobody liked Anthony at school because of poorness of his family. After some years when Anthony was finishing the school, their family got much worse. First, the family took bad news from the port. A tall man who was wearing a black coat and a hat came up to their home and said that Robert Scaletta died by heart attack while packing the boxes. And after a month, their mother Mary Scaletta also died by heart attack for thinking and caring about his dear husband. So Anthony and Frances had to take care of each other, the life was very difficult, especially for the

    The children in this book at times seem wise beyond their years. They are exposed to difficult issues that force them to grow up very quickly. Almost all of the struggles that the children face stem from the root problem of intense poverty. In Mott Haven, the typical family yearly income is about $10,000, "trying to sustain" is how the mothers generally express their situation. Kozol reports "All are very poor; statistics tell us that they are the poorest children in New York." (Kozol 4). The symptoms of the kind of poverty described are apparent in elevated crime rates, the absence of health care and the lack of funding for education.…

    Through the short story, Is Google Making Us Stupid, the author, Nicholas Carr suggests that the Internet affects how human beings process literary works. He begins to illustrate this point by using a scene from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey where the man purposely disassembles HAL, the supercomputer, in order to disconnect its ability to think for itself. Carr personifies HAL, and describes how it could feel its brain being taken away as the man stripped it of its memory circuits. Carr compares the sensation that the supercomputer endures, when losing its mind, to how the Internet has rewired our human brains. It has made low-concentration levels a norm, and thus, has caused a change in our reading styles: we now immerse in a shallow…

    In Is Google Making Us Stupid?, Nicholas Carr argues that people are more interested in instant gratification when they take in information than they are in critically thinking about it. He states that people adapt very quickly to new technologies and incorporate aspects of said technologies into their perception of the world, so inventions such as the computer, which are developed for the purpose of fast rapid information transfer, influence the rate at which people evaluate information. It is more common to see people unable to concentrate on activities such as reading today than it was ten years ago. People are more used to scrolling through web pages and skimming articles than assessing the information they come across. Although this method of accessing information allows people to research more efficiently, people are also more likely to acquiesce to whatever mindset…

    In the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid” published in The Atlantic Magazine, Nicholas Carr begins by talking of a national issue. Our concentration levels are diminishing. Carr uses the title to point out google as the perpetrator, but he refers to the web as a whole. He used to be able to read for hours. However, he struggles with reading a few pages now. Carr says that our brains are being programmed to learn the answer and shut down. You no longer submerge yourself into knowledge. You simply skim the surface of it. Two of the author’s friends are going through the same thing. A pathologist from the University of Michigan no longer reads anything longer than three of four paragraphs. He simply glances over it. The other friend, Scott…

    In 1981, Gary Dickson published the first and (arguably) last widely recognized historical treatment of the field of management information systems (MIS) – now more commonly called information systems (IS). Given the many shifts in the direction of IS since 1981 and the wide-ranging and sometimes heated debate about the identity and core characteristics of IS, we contend that the field could benefit substantially from another historical analysis. Indeed, our position is a simple one -- that it is important for IS researchers to have at least some form of shared understanding of the short history of our field; that is, the major intellectual waves that shaped our perspectives. Most of these intellectual waves originated in Europe – in particular, the U.K. and Scandinavia – and the U.S. These waves were originally distinct but have gradually come together. For example, the original Conference on Information Systems (CIS) has become ICIS (the International Conference on Information Systems); AIS – our institutional IS academic body – has a membership consisting of a significant and growing number of international affiliates. Yet, only a few old-timers, who directly participated in the beginnings of the globalization of IS research, know the intellectual foundations that drove these institutional changes and that now legitimize them. Therefore, a historical reflection, biased and incomplete as it necessarily must be, can provide an essential foundation for a broader dialogue for those in – or wishing to join – the field. In this article, we attempt to excavate the most significant milestones of the field’s evolution and place them in their historical context.…
