1. Prologue
We are witnessing one of history's major technological events: the
advance of the telephone-computer era. Over a number of years, we have directed
our research toward the solution to the problems of this coming age. The results
of this research are presented here. However, it is not enough to put down some
concepts from which a solution may be implied. The solution therefore is also in
the form of a fully implemented system that now exists as a commercial prototype
ready for product development - the New World of Computing
system.
