Digital information, fiberoptics, and telecommunications satellites are making it possible to implement the concept of the global village. The sector is responding to this opportunity in virtual laboratories, virtual product development teams, and virtual factories where individuals and facilities which are remotely located are linked for the common good as well as the task at hand even allowing a continual effort to be on a project as the work day moves around the globe. Eventually this situation will also be recognised by the academic community and knowledge will be transferred between libraries, and students instantly between locations on the globe. Through the Internet such possibilities are now being initiated. However, it will be the long term commitment of the private sector to the concepts of telecommuting, remote distance and digital libraries which will ensure its The termination of the Cold War has conditions allowing the implementation of concepts. Economic conditions currently within the United States are quite robust to an acute shortage of qualified experts. In and Central Europe employment levels are not as high while in the Republics of the Former Union large numbers of trained experts are employment. Consideration may also be to other areas of the globe such as the Pacific Rim, Africa, and South America. Through the of computer/telecommunication in regions lacking local infrastructure it is to link individual talent with scientific, engineering, and technical needs worldwide as well as to provide the opportunity for the acquisition of marketable and desired skills and training. In Summer 1999 prototype Viewnet centers will be established in St. Petersburg, Moscow. Yerevan, Kiev, and Dnepropetrovsk which will be linked through evolving lntemet2 systems to participating locations within the United States allowing the rapid transfer of very large files as well as the transmission of the highest quality audio and video. Such multinational connectivity should in the future provide considerable political and economic stability for the world.
