"a new age has dawned in scientific and engineering research, pushed by continuing progress in computing, information, and communication technology, and pulled by the expanding complexity, scope, and scale of today's challenges. The capacity of this technology has crossed thresholds that now make possible a comprehensive "cyberinfrastructure" on which to build new types of scientific and engineering knowledge environments and organizations and to pursue research in new ways and with increased efficacy." ”

“ Information and communications technology products or services.—The term “information and communications technology products or services” means any hardware, software, or other product or service primarily intended to fulfill or enable the function of information or data processing, storage, retrieval, or communication by electronic means, including transmission, storage, and display. ”

“ We were about to have an information economy, whatever the hell that was. They assumed it meant an economy where we bought and sold information. Now, information technology makes things efficient, so imagine the markets that an information economy would have. ”

“ A Government that works better and costs less requires efficient and effective information systems. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 provide the opportunity to improve significantly the way the Federal Government acquires and manages information technology. ”

“ We will use network-based information technology and other modern technologies to drive changes in models of production, management, and marketing, create new industry chains, supply chains, and value chains, and transform and upgrade conventional drivers, thus injecting them with new vitality.
Ultimately, it is the people who are the inexhaustible source of power that drives development. ”

“ These mandates have given the Secretary of Commerce and NIST important responsibilities for improving the utilization and management of computer and related telecommunications systems in the Federal Government.

“ The rapidly developing array of Internet and other interactive computer services available to individual Americans represent an extraordinary advance in the availability of educational and informational resources to our citizens. `` (2) These services offer users a great degree of control over the information that they receive, as well as the potential for even greater control in the future as technology develops. ”

“ The discovery of new informatic technologies and among them, the Free Software one, has become an ideal instrument to assure the preservation of the State's data.
In this way technology fulfills its role of easying the different and multiple human activities, being one of them, the handling of public information. ”

“ But, another student noted, “Depending on the technology (internet connection and a reliable PC) and sources we have access to, it affects the information we add to the article, and that in turn affects what information the public gets access to.” The Wikipedia project made tangible lessons about the importance of understanding the cultural, material, and human infrastructures of digital technologies and critically addressing questions of representation and access to Internet-based media and communication technologies. ”

“ If anything, it was overly conservative as to the extent to which market applications of computer processing technology would evolve. Not only has there been an exponential growth in data information services for business purposes, but, as indicated above, the services are now being directed at residential consumers. The market is truly competitive. Experience gained from the competitive evolution of varied market applications of computer technology offered since the First Computer Inquiry compels us to conclude that regulation of enhanced services is simply unwarranted. ”

“ There are some people and organisations which wish to work alongside the new technology. They recognise that the Internet and its universal access to cheap and instantaneous distribution will not disappear in the near future, and so work with the technology's potential to open up more possibilities and opportunities. ”

“ In our country, solutions with open source play an important role for many successful IT companies, and a growing number of companies in other industries make a conscious choice to avoid registering for patents. ”

“ Bearing in mind the primary goal of accomplishing mechanization and attaining major progress in informationization by 2020, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) perseveres with mechanization as the foundation and informationization as the driving force, making extensive use of its achievements in information technology, and stepping up the composite and integrated development of mechanization and informationization. The PLA has expanded and made profound preparations for military struggle, which serve as both pull and impetus to the overall development of modernization. ”

“ Now with the ubiquity of digital technology: the Internet, affordable home computers, photo-quality printers, and so on, the rate of information exchange is greater than ever before. Much has been made of the "Digital Divide", a phrase describing the haves and have-nots of the digital world, as access to this wealth of fast information relies on a connection to the global network. There seems to be an unfair advantage for those in the world with the means to access this technology, as they reap all the benefits from a countless supply of knowledge, while others are effectively barred. ”

“ Never before has the spreading of information contributed to so many quick technical, cultural and economical advances, as well as having opened for new prerequisites and possibilities for participation and democracy. ”

“ Swift advances in technology over the past decades have vastly changed how many of the world's inhabitants search for, retrieve, use, and share information. Communication networks have changed all aspects of our society, from personal exchanges to international business. ”

“ On the public health knowledge environment side, such adjustments can take the form of wide-scale data integration or health information exchange efforts, the formation of new database solutions, the demand for new technology to monitor and track the problem, surveillance protocols, information systems, knowledge portals, decision-support systems, and changes in information resource-management protocols. ”

Secondary development, transformation and applications of space technology make possible the provision of high-quality products and services to relevant industries, and help to support and propel the development of new materials, intelligent manufacturing and electronic information, among others. ”

“ The technological development has also assisted in evening out the access to knowledge. Knowledge has earlier been accessible only for a minority. Today, a ten-year-old with internet access in Asia, Africa or South America has the same access to knowledge as a ten-year-old in Swedish towns like Svedala or Umeå. ”

“ Information managers have a large role to play in searching and arranging the information on the internet. I expect that there will be an expansion in internet use for education and research. This means that libraries will have to create virtual libraries where students can follow a course offered by an institution at the other side of the world. ”

“ They assist in the improvement of economies and of living conditions in all countries. Communications, organizational functioning and scientific and industrial progress have developed so rapidly with computer technology that our form of living has changed irreversibly. ”

“ With the continuous economic globalization, rapid advances in science and technology, quickened flow of the factors of production as well as the accelerated changes of industries, all countries and regions in the world have intensified their interactions.

“ The current distributed processing environment, wherein computer processing capabilities are placed throughout a data information or transmission system, compelled, at a minimum, a re-examination of the definitional structure used to distinguish regulated communications services from unregulated data processing services. ”

“ Power to the People by Scott Mason
The last few months have taught me, and this country, a great deal about the technology that has been allowed to control our lives. Computers, mainframes, mini computers, or millions of personal computers - they do in fact control and monitor our every activity, for better or for worse. ”

“ Talking about the transfer of technology, I have just created a service within the Technology Resource Center that can link source and mobilize technol­ogical expertise in both government and private sectors here and abroad for pre-investment and project development requirements of a client technology user. ”

“ The supply of communications products and services will be limited only by the ingenuity of businessmen and scientists. Government will no longer be a barrier that prevents or delays the introduction of innovations in technology.
We have all read a great deal about the marvelous inventions that the convergence of computer and communications technology will make possible. Consumers and businessmen will have highly intelligent communications products and services in their homes and offices that will increase productivity, save energy and improve the quality of life. ”

“ We should pay attention to open source software because it shows us something about business methods in the digital world—indeed in the entire world of "information-based" products, which is coming to include biotechnology. The scale of your network matters. The larger the number of people who use your operating system, make programs for your type of computer, create new levels for your game, or use your device, the better off you are. A single fax machine is a paperweight. ”
