Isi artikel

Innovations in telecommunications technologies are stimulating what amounts to a new industrial revolution based on information rather than on mechanical power. While the information revolution offers many benefits, it also poses new challenges to existing industrial structure and job patterns, creates new strains in the global trading environment, and place new emphasis on international cooperation. In this first of four articles, the author decribes how diffusion of a variety of new technologies, including optical fiber networks and globe-spanning Earth satellites, is fast bringing on the age of virtually instanteous delivery of information around the world. Herbert S. Dordick is professor of communications and chairman of Departmen of Radio, Television, and Film at Temple University. This article is excerpted from Mr. Dordick recent book, Understanding Modern Telecommunications.
