Issues for Science and Engineering Researchers in the Digital Age
“The summation of human experience is being expanded at a prodigious rate, and the means we use for threading through the consequent maze to the momentarily important item is the same as was used in the days of square-rigged ships. But there are signs of a change as new and powerful instrumental- ities come into use.” (Vannevar Bush, 1945)
Digital computers and networks are revolutionizing the way we conduct research, just as they are recasting the way we do business and spend our leisure time. It grows easier every day to collect, manipulate, and disseminate information. Researchers everywhere are developing new ways to use these digital systems in every phase of their work. These new tools— both hardware and software—make possible more creative and productive research, including new forms of collaboration on a global scale.
