The U.S. government, a primary sponsor of scientific and technological developments that fostered the computer and communications technologies needed by the on-line database industry, also sponsored database development projects, information usage studies, and combined computer database development—usage projects. The successors of some of these projects continue to be prominent and include DIALOG, MEDLINE, BRS, LEXIS, and the Chemical Abstracts Registry System. 

The future demand for jet travel is veiy uncertain. Businesses have traditionally felt a need to travel for face-to-face meetings, hut the new communications technology revolution might in the future make business travel less necessaiy. However, any dropoff in business travel is likely to be replaced by growth in leisure travel as more affluent Americans decide to take more but shorter vacations, and fly for more weekend getaways. 

Wlieli initially adopted, TOU rates were based on projections of future costs by season, month, day, or hour. However, advances in metering and communications technology now afford utilities the ability to transmit prices to customers based on actual operating costs and to read meters in real time. This realtime TOU pricing is one of the most important aspects of many of the restructuring efforts to date. They can provide customers with direct access to the prices arising in competitive electric markets.

The disposal of electrical and electronic wastes around the world has not been very satisfactory. The rapid evolution of electrical, electronic, information, and communication technologies leads to an increased production of such wastes in the future. It is our ideal objective that we do not dispose of...
