Dexter case



Andrew Conley

Andrew Conley is boy that killed his brother because he wants to be a murderer like an actor in Dexter. Dexter is an American television drama that show us a person that like to kill the people.This film influence a boy named Andrew Conley to do like in their film.

Conley was 17 in November 2009 when he killed his brother, Conner, while wrestling in their home near Rising Sun, and dumped the boy's body in a park. He unexpectedly pleaded guilty in September 2010, averting a murder trial.
In the 3-2 ruling, the state justices said Conley acted "as if nothing was out of the ordinary" after the killing. According to testimony during the five-day sentencing hearing, Conley joked with his mother and watched football the day after he killed Conner.
Conley told police he fantasized about killing people since he was in eighth grade. A few weeks before the killing, Conley told his girlfriend that he wanted to be just like the TV serial killer.
Three different psychological experts who interviewed Conley all said he was seriously mentally ill, but his appellate lawyer, Leanna Weissmann, said the judge gave too much credence to a psychologist's testimony that the teen could be a psychopath.
The U.S. Supreme Court in June threw out mandatory sentences of life in prison without parole for juveniles, but left open the possibility that individual judges could sentence juveniles to life without parole in individual cases of murder.

Based on our analyzis every parents must control that what is their children watch, because now many film that can give a bad moral and attitude for the children. And we must make them watchsomething that can gie them a good moral and attitude.

And this case we can see that the one of the function of communication, let we say that social contact and sense of community.

The Development of Communication Technology Between 1940 - 1950



As we know the development of communication has been grown in the world, especially in the 1940 - 1950. Many communication tools that have been developed since the year 1940 to 1945 such as :
  •  computers
  •  radios
  •  handie-talkies 
  •  television 
Now we will provide an explanation about Computer, Radio, Handie-talkie, Television:
1. Computer


In 1940, Atanasoff and Berry made ​​the first electronic computer. Until the year 1940 had a lot of discovery and development in the field of computer that is very helpful in various fields of activities.

The development of modern computer can be said to begin in the 1940s. After 1940, the development of a computer can be divided into five generations. The first generation of computers (1940-1959) using vacuum tubes to process and store data. The computer is not very ergonomic because it requires a lot of vacuum tube as well as a great power. Some examples of the first generation of computers, namely: Colassus, ENIAC, UNIVAC, EDVAC and EDSAC.

COMPUTER FIRST GENERATION (1940 - 1959)


* ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator)
In the year 1946 Dr. John Mauchly and Presper Eckert created with the name of the ENIAC computer, ENIAC consisted of 70,000 resistors, 5 million soldiers and 18,000 vacuum tubes, the computer has a very large size and power consumption of 160 000 Watt, the ENIAC computer era is versatile general purpose computer or a computer that can work 1000 times faster computers dibandingkand ith Mark I.




* EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer)
Allowed all computer functions to be coordinated through a single source.
In 1945 Von Neumann designed the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC) with a memory that can be used to accommodate both programs and data. Using vakumpun tubes have been reduced in the EDVAC, and for the calculation process can be done faster than the ENIAC. By using this technique it is possible for the computer to stop at some point and then resumes. The main key is von architecture.
Neumann is the central processing unit (CPU), which allowed all computer functions to be coordinated from a single source.



* EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator)
EDSAC Computer introduced the use of mercury (mercury) in the tube in order to save memory.



* UNIVAC I (Universal Automatic Calculator)
Dr. Mauchly and Eckert created the UNIVAC in 1951, this computer is a type of computer that can be used for commercial data processing and is the first commercial computer that uses the von Neumann architecture model. UNIVAC computer was once owned by the U.S. Census Bureau and General Electric. UNIVAC never produce something impressive is its success in predicting victory Dwilight D. Eisenhower in the presidential elections in 1952.



One of the characteristics of the first generation computers was operating instructions are made specifically for a particular task. In every computer there is a different program called "machine language" (machine language). This causes the computer is difficult to be programmed and the limitations on speed. One feature that really stands out from the first generation is the use of vacuum tubes are made in the form of computer is very large, but it also uses cylindrical magnetic data storage process.
