Throughout human history, each generation has had its own information needs, satisfying those needs with the technology available to them. Each information technology breakthrough – the printing press, the computer, the Internet – has brought a cultural change in how people communicate and share information.
Today’s information landscape is marked by three major shifts:
• From print to digital information
• From mediated access (through bibliographic records) to unmediated access (to full text)
• From information silos to interoperable systems
These changes entail modifications in user expectations. Today’s information consumer expects:
• Direct access to full text information
• The opportunity to contribute to the content
• The ability to search across a critical mass of information
I picked the above text somewhere on the net... as so to easily explain to the masses why we (the world and Malaysia included) should change or say... progress... and by the way we are progressing by the day.
So why not Nuclear?
