Abstract :
Observations, intuitions, and advice are offered to help those who seek the scientific proof of the telecommunications requirements of people and how they might be addressed with technology. The need for multimedia systems is discussed. It is argued that high-performance network technology is in its infancy, and the problems addressed are the mechanics of telecommunications, principally at the machine level as data. The ways in which humans use information to obtain, support, sustain, and grow the relationships that are meaningful or useful to them are described. The ways in which multimedia systems will affect organizational learning and organizational change are also discussed.<>
