<<Any idea which company may get very busy soon?>>
USMC, Company "A" ? Raytheon?
IMO This will be the decade of the computer and the Web. Dell led the charge to reduce computer to costs from $2500 to near $500.
Thats only 11 tanks of fuel for my van , a seat at the opera,or a trip to Disneyland and .thus now affordable
With 180 countries supporting the coalition there is a need to track terrorists activities instantly world-wide.
Phone calls wont cut it, too slow, can forget what was said, cannot understand the many languages. Stand in
line in Mexico after signing up at the one phone office in town who may with luck put your call on list for two hours later ( if the phones are working)
E-mail , video conferencing in the upper agencies, and software to convert the many languages. Messages stored and reviewable. All types of security measures and virus prevention.
Hi-speed internet access becomes mandatory. My crummy 56 k ISP would never do it. Its shut down for maintenance once a day. Sometimes takes 1/2 hour to get on line even when its working I have to restart
computer maybe once every two hours
Mobile phones with GPS location tracking.
Some surplus dark fibers in the transcontinental cables and cities will now be lit.
A few men of vision saw ahead of time the need to put this technology to work, Michael was one of them
Some wonder why Dell does not invent things, a new set-top box, a supercomputer, a multi-colored Apple look-alike. Who can compute the billions now to saved by government agencies, companies, and the taxpayers
(in building this terrorist-tracking war machine) as a result of Dells persistent cost cutting agenda.?
