Threshold of the New Millennium. What are key policy and social issues facing the Internet? / What is the secret of happiness in a career? / What are some of technology's unanticipated consequences? / What constitutes a good scientific theory? / How can we be wiser about decisions of what to pursue in science and technology? / Structures and Devices. How soon can we free ourselves from fossil fuels? / If you could 'uninvent' a technology, which would it be? / How will information technology transform global culture? / Are we prepared for the nanotechnology revolution? / Systems and Management. When will society recognize that nuclear reactors are environmentally safer than fossil-fuel power plants? / Vinton G. Cerf. Wilson Greatbatch. Jack S. Kilby. Arno A. Penzias. Charles H. Townes -- John G. Kassakian. Roger D. Pollard. Donald R. Scifres. Ralph C. Merkle -- Robert A. Bell. Ch. 1. Ch. 2. Ch. 3. How can effective communication help engineers develop the best products? / Can engineers abdicate leadership forever? / How can we accurately evaluate creativity and diversity? / Computers and Software. Can we make society smarter? / How can we separate the Internet's wheat from its chaff? / Are computers really the tide that will float all boats? / How can we prevent ourselves from drowning in high-tech waste? / Communications. Are we eating our seed corn? / When is unlimited information effectively no information at all? / The electromagnetic spectrum - public trust or pork barrel? / What is the role of industrial research laboratories in the twenty-first century? / Entertainment.
