The laser, for example, which did not emerge until 1960, could have been assembled decades earlier by perspicacious physicists following Einstein’s classic paper in 1917 on population inversion in electronic energy levels. Equally, a widely read, mathematically-oriented engineer or computer scientist, knowing Radon’s work in Leipzig, also in 1917, could have foreseen and accelerated the arrival of the technique of tomography, with all that it has done to revolutionize medicine. In this article, I cite examples of devices, techniques, procedures, and theories that exhibit a variety of different origins and subsequent development. In some instances progress had been extraordinary rapid, in others extremely slow; and in several the element of chance and coincidence has played a vital role. With the exception of the computer itself few electronic devices have had a more profound impact on the progress of experimental science and on social interaction among human beings than the charge coupled device, otherwise known as the CCD. It has fundamentally transformed the whole of observational astronomy and very large sections of terrestrial and marine biology. The study and application of nanoscience no less than progress in nanotechnology have likewise been revolutionized by the CCD, which is an ultrasensitive detector that picks up extremely low levels of light ranging from the infra red to the visible, the ultra violet and even X-rays. It is more than a thousand times more sensitive than the most sensitive photographic plate, which is why it is nowadays the basis of modern digital and video cameras, optical scanners and camcorders, as well as spectrometers, fax machines and other high performance imaging facilities that are these days a part of mobile phones.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is changing our life and society at an incredible pace. It is only half a century ago that the first computers were built. At first, these were used mainly for military purposes, for science, and later on for automation of business processes. Use of computers was limited to a relatively small group of specialists. After the personal computer was introduced around 1980, computing became part of the everyday life of a larger group of people. At about the same time, the internet started to grow. Again, at first mostly among academics and the military, but after Tim Berners Lee introduced the World Wide Web, internet use for communication, searching of information, shopping, money transfer and doing business became popular at an immense scale. At about the same time, a revolution took place in the telecom world. Or more precisely: several revolutions occurred at the same time. The telecom business was transformed into an open market, mobile phones conquered the world, and digital signal processing was introduced. At present we witness the convergence of the telecom world and the world of internet and computers. The internet and the fixed and mobile telecom networks merge into one global digital network based on IP, the internet protocol. This network is encompassing voice, video and data communication, giving us access to computing resources, and to information, irrespective of where we are or where the resources that we want to access are located. As a consequence, also the world of mass media, newspapers, magazines, TV and radio, is thoroughly transformed and becomes part of the internet. In the future we can, for instance, watch a TV program at any time we want, at any place. But it will also be feasible to produce our own content and broadcast our own TV","PeriodicalId":91638,"journal":{"name":"... Proceedings of the ...

First, e-learning cases are classifi ed into three categories: type I , correspondence courses where students can obtain credits and/or degrees mainly based on e-learning; type II, on-campus courses where students can obtain some credits based on e-learning; and type III, on-campus courses where the faculty uses e-learning tools as a supplemental measure of their classes. A Survey conducted by National Institute of Multimedia Education clearly shows that the needs of universities for type III is comparatively high. Based on case studies, this paper clarifi es the following two points: fi rst, students such as working students, foreign students, and those who study specialized areas are the main benefi ciaries of types I and II ; second, all types meet students’ needs by improving the qualities of classes. It seems reasonable to conclude that type III is expected to become the most popular model of e-learning because it responds to the needs of students and universities and that promotion of type I and/or II is possible if universities are successful in providing curriculums that suit the needs of potential students.","PeriodicalId":91638,"journal":{"name":"...
