Defining a Decade

Information Technology in the Service Society: A Twenty-First Century Lever (1993) bemoaned the problems of productivity and the absence of productivity improvements that could be traced directly to computing advances. We are still struggling with this issue. How do we even count, much less affect? Then, in 1994, Realizing the Information Future: The Internet and Beyond revisited the first report that CSTB had done about the Internet, going back and saying, “Okay, wow, this was really successful. Now what do we do with it?” One of the things this report emphasized was the importance of the concept of the “bearer service” to allow a broad range of applications to be served by a hardware infrastructure. Research Recommendations to Facilitate Distributed Work, released in 1994, is particularly close to my heart because the Department of Energy commissioned it. It provided DOE with a good research agenda for how to promote telecommuting, which is, of course, becoming more and more ubiquitous. DOE cares because we are worried about energy usage.
