| Abstract | The past half-century has seen a breathtaking surge in scientific discovery. We have
put satellites into orbit and probed the universe; we have discovered the chemical
structure of living organisms and learned to manipulate it; we have been able to read
the Earth's history in minute detail from ice-sheet and ocean cores; and we have improved
human and animal health through increasingly large epidemiological studies and clinical
trials. All of these achievements have necessitated new ways of collecting, storing,
manipulating, and transmitting information that far surpass anything previously dreamed
of. |
