Impact of Microcomputers on Telemetry and Telecommunications

Abstract

The next computer revolution is under way. The first computer revolution impacted government and big business; the current revolution is affecting small businesses, schools and homes. The demands that will be placed on the telemetry and telecommunications industry in the next decade are mind-boggling. New products, new techniques and new jobs must be developed to respond to that demand. This paper presents future applications of microcomputers in communications and what that portends for our society.
