- From smartphones to eBook readers to game consoles to personal computers;
- from corporate datacenters to cloud services to scientific supercomputers;
- from digital photography and photo editing, to MP3 music players, to streaming media, to GPS navigation;
- from robot vacuum cleaners in the home, to adaptive cruise control in cars and the real-time control systems in hybrid vehicles, to robot vehicles on and above the battlefield;
- from the Internet and the World Wide Web to email, search engines, eCommerce, and social networks;
- from medical imaging, to computer-assisted surgery, to the large-scale
data analysis that is enabling evidence-based healthcare and the new biology; - from spreadsheets and word processing to revolutions in inventory control, supply chain, and logistics;
- from the automatic bar-coding of hand-addressed first class mail, to remarkably effective natural language translation, to rapidly improving speech recognition
– our world today relies to an astonishing degree on systems,
tools, and services that belong to a vast and still growing domain known as Networking and Information Technology (NIT).
