Information Infrastructure technologies will play a critical role in the Federal government’s own plans to re-engineer its work processes … Vice President [Al] Gore has drawn an analogy between the NII and the first use of telegraphy in a limited government-sponsored demonstration, subsequently followed by widespread private-sector deployment on a national scale.
Predictor: Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) Task Group: High-Performance Computing and Communications Information Technology Subcommittee
Prediction, in context:In a final draft of their Dec. 1, 1993, recommendations for the National Information Infrastructure, members of the High-Performance Computing Communications and Information Technology subcommittee write the following: ”The Federal government has a critical role to play to reduce the risk in creating a National Information Infrastructure, while ensuring that the technology will be cost-effective and appropriate for developing implementations to the National Challenge applications. Information Infrastructure technologies will play a critical role in the Federal government’s own plans to re-engineer its work processes. In a recent articulation of the government’s role in information infrastructure, Vice President [Al] Gore has drawn an analogy between the NII and the first use of telegraphy in a limited government-sponsored demonstration, subsequently followed by widespread private-sector deployment on a national scale.”
