斯坦福大学的计算机奇才把重点放在如何将他们的成果转化为巨大的市场价值上;麻省理工学院有两个信息技术实验室,它们互为对手,但是这使它们在这一领域更加努力;卡内基—梅隆大学正致力于开发信息压缩技术,以达到将人一生所有活动保存在一个硬币大小的硬盘上;爱丁堡大学的目标是建立一门新的信息科学;北卡罗来纳大学在研制有助于看到分子或指导外科医生进行操作的计算机系统;索尼公司正在孕育新型智能便携装置;英国电信公司在自然世界中寻求进化其网络并让它实现自我管理的快捷省钱的办法。
At Stanford, computer wizards focused on how to translate their accomplishments into huge market value; MIT has two information technology labs that rival each other, but that makes them even harder in this area; Carnegie Mellon University is working on the development of information compression technology to save all life-time activities on a coin-sized hard drive; the University of Edinburgh aims to create a new information science; the University of North Carolina is developing Computer systems that help to see molecules or guide surgeons; Sony is nurturing new smart-portable devices; and British telecoms companies in the natural world seek fast, money-saving ways to evolve their network and make it self-managing.
