...Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 1991 Juel A. Todman BIS/220 Introduction to Computer Application and Systems June 16, 2014 Dr. David Wagner Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 1991 Advances in Information Technology have made access to sensitive information with great concern. Privacy has to be paramount as the internet broadens its horizon strategically. Various acts had to be implemented to protect the privacy of individuals.

The implementation of the National Do-Not-Call Registry informed Telemarketers that they had up to 31 days from the day you registered your telephone number to remove it from their call lists.

These big names have had a significant influence on people, specifically children, from not only the education they received but also the environment from which the education was provided.The environment in which one is in plays a key role in the progression a person makes, in terms of cognitive and social development which contribute to educational success. Whether the location is one that catalyzes and promotes growth and excellence, or one that decelerates the maturation of a child’s cognitive and social ability, the neighborhoods in which people are raised in have a large impact on children who are moving through the developmental process. Hence, two vastly different locations, in this case the town of Englewood, Chicago and Wicker Park, Chicago, have completely opposite effects on the children in each respective neighborhood. The notorious neighborhood of Englewood has a reputation for being a crime infested, violent area. On the contrary, Wicker Park is known for the numerous artist that inhabit the town, as well the art shows and festivals that take place annually and the location’s successful school system.
