The transition to the post-industrial society is characterized by the introduction of electronic computer-communication systems whose mind- amplifying powers have made data and information our most precious resource. Realtime services provide knowledge workers with access to powerful information systems, in offices, factories, laboratories, class rooms and even the home. Spectacular hardware progress has been attributed to the "miracle of the chip". We find such chips at the heart of computers, communication devices, and input/output peripherals with whose help we perform such functions as packet-switched communications, distributed data bases, and computer networking. Powerful software engineering tools brought into existence new and improved programming languages, powerful computer operating systems, and a plethora of applications programs.
rnThese advances have also created problems. As the data trail grew, citizens voiced their concern about privacy protection of these data. Computer security and the design of trusted computer bases are expected to stem the rising tide of reported "computer crimes". Electronic Funds Transfer Systems are used to move astronomical sums of "virtual money" over worldwide networks; "virtual books" and other electronic communications are being read widely and instantaneously without the need for hard copy; mechanical slide rules and mechanical watches have gone the way of the Dodo Bird after being replaced by their electronic offspring. Their is even talk of impending changes in the structures of our institutions as a consequence of the pervasive transfer of this new technology into the hands of everyone.
向后工业社会的转变的特征是引入了电子计算机通信系统,该系统的思维增强能力使数据和信息成为最宝贵的资源。实时服务使知识工作者可以访问办公室,工厂,实验室,教室甚至家庭中的强大信息系统。惊人的硬件进步归因于“芯片奇迹”。我们发现这类芯片位于计算机,通信设备和输入/输出外围设备的核心,借助它们我们可以执行诸如分组交换通信,分布式数据库和计算机网络之类的功能。强大的软件工程工具带来了新的和经过改进的编程语言,强大的计算机操作系统以及众多的应用程序。 P> rn
这些进步也带来了问题。随着数据记录的增长,市民表达了对这些数据的隐私保护的关注。预计计算机安全性和受信任的计算机基础的设计将阻止报告的“计算机犯罪”的上升趋势。电子资金转帐系统用于在全球网络上转移天文数字的“虚拟货币”; “虚拟书籍”和其他电子通讯正在被广泛而即时地阅读,而无需印刷本;机械滑尺和机械表在被电子后代取代后,已经取代了渡渡鸟。他们甚至在谈论由于这项新技术无所不在地转移到每个人的手中而导致我们机构结构即将发生的变化。 P>
