Shoars v. Epson American Inc. High-Tech Monitoring

Employees will be asked to give up their privacy rights when they are hired – and … most people will do so, in exchange for a job.

3.5 National Challenges

[High-Performance Computing Communications and networked communication can be key in future advanced manufacturing … [Future developments for which research is being conducted] include concurrent engineering, protocols for electronic exchange of product data, and virtual-design technologies

3.5 National Challenges

[High-Performance Computing Communications and networked communication can be key in future electronic commerce: Electronic commerce integrates communications, data-management, and security services, to allow business applications within different organizations to automatically interchange information.

It is easier in the e-mail context to draw a very bright line than it is to draw a shade.

3.4 Intelligent Interfaces

Advanced user interfaces will bridge the gap between users and the future National Information Infrastructure. A wide range of new technologies that adapt to human senses and abilities must be developed to provide more effective human-machine communications.

Introduction

Privacy is under seige. The issues are especially vital today as more and more of our privacy is stripped away. And the notion that information can be kept secret to any degree may simply vanish in cyberspace.

3.2 Information Infrastructure Services

[High-Performance Computing Communications and networked communication can be key in future universal network services:] Extensions to the existing Internet technology base will provide more widespread use by a much larger number of users. These include techniques for improved ease-of-use, “plug-and-play” network interoperation, remote maintenance, exploitation of new “last mile” technologies like cable TV and wireless, management of hybrid/asymmetric network bandwidth, guaranteed quality of service for continuous media streams, and scale-up of network capabilities to dramatically larger numbers of users.

3. Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications Program Elements-3.1 Overview

High-Performance Computing Communications and networked communication can be key in future National Challenges: … Services provide the underlying network-capable building blocks upon which the National Challenges can be constructed. They will form the basis of the ubiquitous “Information Web” of the 21st century. Services bridge the gap between the communications bitways and the application-specific software components that implement the National Challenges.

MBones and Giganets: What Will Replace the Internet?

Expect wireless hookups … with signals bouncing from transmitters like cell-phone relays. Or, tomorrow’s “information appliance” could be a TV, computer and phone all in one. Even cheaper, a device similar to an adaptor could feed Nextnet data into a regular TV. No telling what you can net with forethought.
