...DSC 340 Study Guide Mick McQuaid Spring 2014 Following is a study guide for DSC 340. It’s a living document to be updated by the instructor every week during the term based on readings, contributions from students, and updates in the rapidly changing world of business information systems. 1. PERSONAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS Extensive research over the past twenty years, some of it by Tom Malone at MIT and Susan Dumais at Microsoft Research, has explored how people organize personal information. One example that helps people understand the problem of personal information is the knife analogy, described below. One important finding about personal information management has been that people are prone to do one or some combination of these two things: filing and piling. After reviewing the following topics, conclude the study of personal information systems by doing the share best practices exercise. 1.1 Knives In the Home Suppose you have just won a complete set of knives for your home. Where should you put them? You could have a single cabinet to store all knives, but it is more likely that you will distribute the knives to different rooms, placing them near where they will be used: steak knives in a buffet in the dining room, cooking knives in the kitchen, handyman knives in a garage workshop. When you need a particular knife, it will be in the context of a current task, such as preparing food, setting a table, or cutting a length of rope for a clothesline. In each...

... person. And just because teenagers use internet sites to connect to other people doesn’t mean they don’t care about their privacy. We don’t tell everybody every single thing about our lives. We tell them general information - names, places, what we like to do - but that’s general knowledge. That’s not something you like to keep private-- “Oh, I play games. I better not tell anybody about that.” I mean-- that’s not something that we do. So to go ahead and say that teenagers don’t like privacy is pretty ignorant and inconsiderate honestly, I believe, on the adult’s part....

...Likhitha Reddy Professor Ervin Honors Special Topics: Films of Terry Gilliam May 6, 2103 Escape from Reality The modern world is plagued by the departure from an idealistic and imaginative state of mind into a realm of superficial social anxieties. Director Terry Gilliam, an American-born British director and member of the comedy group Monty Python, displays the theme of the rejection of pragmatism in favor of imagination in many of his movies. The theme of escaping from mundane reality into an alternative, inspired universe is most prevalent in his films Time Bandits (1981), The Fisher King (1991), and Tideland (2005). In Time Bandits, escape is more physical than mental as inspired pre-teen Kevin leaves his mundane life and consumerism-oriented world for a taste of adventure. The Fisher King presents a much different type of escape- Parry is a man who witnesses the murder of his wife and falls into a catatonic state only to emerge as a man who abandons his old life, including memory of his late wife, in order to find the “Holy Grail,” a worthless trophy that he sees in a magazine. Tideland is depicts another mental escape scenario and tells the story of the young daughter of two drug addicts in perpetual denial of her abused state who is aided in her fantasy world by doll heads that she wears on her fingers. Whether physical or mental, escape can provide a temporary panacea, but the problem with it is that one must always return. Time Bandits, released in 1981, was Gilliam’s...

...law, he decided to enter the field of medicine. In 1873, at the age of seventeen, Freud enrolled in the university as a medical student. During his days in the university, he did his research on the Central Nervous System under the guidance of German physician `Ernst Wilhelm Von Brucke’. Freud received his medical degree in 1881and later in 1883 he began to work in Vienna General Hospital. Freud spent three years working in various departments of the hospital and in 1885 he left his post at the hospital to join the University of Vienna as a lecturer in Neuropathology. Following his appointment as a lecturer, he got the opportunity to work under French neurologist Jean Charcot at Salpetriere, the famous Paris hospital for nervous diseases. So far Freud’s work had been entirely concentrated on physical sciences but Charcot’s work, at that time, concentrated more on hysteria and hypnotism. Freud’s studies under Charcot, which centered largely on hysteria, influenced him greatly in channelising his interests to psychopathology. In 1886, Freud established his private practice in Vienna specializing in nervous diseases and soon afterwards got to his fiancée Martha Bernays, who came from a well-known Jewish family in Hamburg. In 1888, Freud started using hypnotism in his practice. But, later he dropped it and started using a method, which was being used by Dr. Josef Breuer. The method was based on the assumption that hysteria was a product of psychical trauma, which had been long...
