[High-Performance Computing Communications and networked communication can be key in looking at the Changing Context of NII.] The proposed National Information Infrastructure promises a radical transformation of the way Americans at all levels generate, transmit, access, and use information.
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: ”[High-Performance Computing Communications and networked communication can be key in looking at the Changing Context of NII.] The proposed National Information Infrastructure promises a radical transformation of the way Americans at all levels generate, transmit, access, and use information. Whether it is a schoolchild writing a report on black holes or loss of biodiversity, the librarian who assists the child in assembling the information from a digital library, the astrophysicist or ecologist who generates the primary data, or the child’s parents and teachers communicating about the homework assignment, all Americans may use NII in their daily lives and will be enriched by that use.”
