Marshall, Patrick. "Artificial Intelligence." CQ Researcher 22 Apr. 2011: 361-84. Web. 14 May 2011. Can “smart” machines replace humans? From battlefields and factory floors to hospital operating rooms and retail call centers, artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how the world thinks and works. IBM's powerful new computer, Watson, recently beat two “Jeopardy!” game-show champions. Drone aircraft are deployed on dangerous reconnaissance and assault missions, reducing soldiers' exposure to harm. Computers diagnose disease, and robotic devices perform delicate surgical procedures. And “smart” machines are bringing new efficiencies to a variety of professions and industries, such as law offices, banks and manufacturing plants. But analysts warn that artificial intelligence may have devastating downsides. Some argue that if battles are fought with machines instead of humans, wars might be easier to start. And economists worry that as robots and other forms of artificial intelligence replace more and more workers, catastrophic levels of unemployment will be the result. From the CQ Researcher.

Electric Power & the United States

Weeks, Jennifer. "Modernizing the Grid: Is the electric power system at risk?" CQ Researcher 19 Feb. 2010. The U.S. electric power grid — the nationwide system of interconnected regional power systems — is a century old and under strain. Long-term power demand has grown steadily since the 1980s, but investments in transmission have lagged behind. Three major blackouts in the past decade have raised concerns about providing electricity reliably. Federal agencies are working with utilities, manufacturers and information technology companies to develop a modernized grid that uses computers to monitor the system. Advocates say this “smart grid” will be able to generate more electricity from renewable fuels and save money for businesses and families. The Obama administration calls the smart grid an urgent priority and is spending billions to help design it. But some experts worry that a digital grid could be vulnerable to cyberattacks or that it will violate consumers' privacy. Others say that promoting energy conservation or building new power plants near population centers would be more effective than building new high-voltage transmission lines. From the CQ Researcher.

Science in America

Price, Tom. "Science in America." CQ Researcher 18.2 (2008): 25-48.
Many leaders in business, government and education warn that a shortage of scientists is jeopardizing the nation's world leadership in science and technology, along with its military supremacy and high standard of living. For a short-term fix, they propose loosening immigration restrictions to allow more high-skilled workers from overseas. Long term, they say the United States must greatly improve pre-college education, produce more college graduates with mathematics and science degrees and increase investment in research and development. Others argue the alarm is just a scare tactic by employers who want to import more high-tech workers and pay them low wages. Across the country, meanwhile, businesses are joining thousands of schools in innovative efforts to convince more children to study science and to teach them more effectively.

Clemmitt, Marcia. "Cyber Socializing." CQ Researcher 16.27 (2006): 625-648. CQ Researcher Online. CQ Press. 3 Mar. 2007 .

Internet socializing has become hugely popular, and Web sites that help people meet potential dates, find new friends and keep track of old ones are big business. Hundreds of sites attract tens of millions of users, and more sites come online daily. Born along with the Internet in the early 1970s, online socializing has helped people worldwide link to others with common interests for conversation and support. Nevertheless, new social-networking sites like Facebook and MySpace raise more troubling privacy issues than traditional Internet chat rooms. Visitors to such sites can access not only individuals' posted profiles but also profiles of their friends. Parents and law-enforcement agencies worry that predators can use the information to contact vulnerable teens. Some states are considering requiring tighter security and confidentiality, and a bill introduced in the House of Representatives would require schools and libraries to block teenagers from the sites.

Lenhart, Amanda and Mary Madden. How teens manage their online identities and personal information in the age of MySpace. 18 Apr. 2007. Pew Internet & American Life Project.

A new survey and a series of focus groups conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project examines how teens understand their privacy through several lenses: by looking at the choices that teens make to share or not to share information online, by examining what they share, by probing for the context in which they share it and by asking teens for their own assessment of their vulnerability.
