Abstract

Media Today. hig events in high rechnnlog) include the convergence between information and communication industries (computer, telephone, cable television. and broadcast television). the emphasis hy such giants as Microsoft on hypermedia products. and the manufacture of palmtop computers. In this new age, a field engineer may access a simulation of a plane engine on a palmtop computer while in the process of repairing the engine. A student at home writes an essay on a palmtop and incorporates moving images from a hypermedia encyclopedia into the essay before electronically mailing it to the teacher. When will this new age come and what hinders its pmgres+ Do the lack of sun- Consider the prod~rion and dissemination of a document wirh text and images. For a paper document. whether the author uses a pen. a typewriter. or a computer. so long as the final product is legible on paper and can he reproduced, the availahility of the product is not a technological matter. If the document is to he disreminatrd electronically and is prepared with a computer tool ancl disseminated in the format of mmpatihle versions of that tool, then alien only people with that tool can access the document.
