Abstract
Is electronics extending itself to increase citizen opportunities for education, entertainment, and a better life? During World War II, electronics expanded to meet U.S. defense needs. Korea accelerated the advance of the technology even more. In all the unsettled years since, electronics technology has been facing new challenges. The Highlight Session at this year´s IEEE International Convention and Exhibition served as a platform where some men with very broad horizons could speak, and others could listen and learn. Three of the speakers agreed that we are just on the threshold of the age of technical developments. The fourth maintained that the future of electronics and its relationship with society will hardly be determined by electronics at all.
