Purpose: Studies on technology and interpreting have increasingly explored how technology influences the role and performance of interpreters in their practice; however, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews and analyses. This paper aims to synthetically review the state-of-the-art application and integration of various interpreting…

The author argues that programs to prepare the casual computer user are needed. Too much emphasis has been placed on thorough understanding of the working of the machine, and not enough on general principles of man-machine interaction. (SD)

Reviews the nature of computer networks and previews their development by focusing on ways they are useful to scientists and to science, including applications for remote computer access, electronic mail, bulletin boards, teleconferencing, file transfer, resource sharing, and imbedding nontextual communications. (JN)

Discusses interdependence of computers and microelectronics, importance of programing, offices of the future, communications for the 1980s, emerging information systems, and the inexpensive, fast, and reliable small devices such as memory chips. (JN)

Described is hypermedia including computers, videodisks, and monitors. Classroom and industry applications are discussed. Some criticism and issues involving the hypermedia are summarized. (YP)

Surveys trends in hardware (logic, memory, storage) input-output technology, software, computer architecture and organization, communications, and artificial intelligence. (JN)

Provides historical background for computer usage in education. Describes several aspects of technology emerging today which will have impact on education including: the emergence of the personal computer; communication technologies; and software engineering. Also describes several simulation packages for use in the science classroom. (DS)

Communications technology must advance to meet the need for improved information processing by the year 2000. Four major technologies are involved: computers and data processing, telecommunications and telephones, reprographics, and word processing. Each of the technologies shows growth in sales, applications, and usage. Facts and projections…

Presented are nine working papers prepared for the National Science Foundation as one means of assisting the Office of Science and Technology Policy in preparing the administration's "Annual Science and Technology Report to the Congress, 1982." The papers explore aspects of three broad themes central to the administration's science and…

A Symposium was held in May of 1972 to assist in the resolution of the varied problems effecting the advance of educational technology. Most of the papers presented at the symposium dealt with the current situation of various aspects of computer assisted instruction (CAI) throughout Canada. Other papers covered CAI centralization, minicomputers,…

This report records the main themes of the discussions and recommendations made at a policy consultation on the Connexions Service. Section 1 examines the current use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in relation to relevant forms of personal information, advice, and guidance leading to personal development for young people aged…

These proceedings contain 11 papers that focus on how education must change what and how it teaches to keep up with the technological revolution. The presentations address the need for vocational education to produce students with skills in electronics and data communications (including computer-to-computer transmission); office systems and…

This volume of Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science is limited to the text of papers accepted and scheduled for presentation at the 1975 meeting. The papers reflect the need to address and define issues in national information policy, and they examine the current state of federal-level planning and funding of information…
