EMC shows faster data storage system
Article Abstract:
EMC Corporation announces its Symmetrix 5500 disk storage system based on the company's powerful RAID (redundant arrays of inexpensive disks) technology, which offers 60 to 240Gbytes of disk storage. Earlier models have offered between 10 and 60Gbytes. The Symmetrix 5500 is priced from $825,000 to $2.8 million, depending on configuration. Analysts contend that the new models will place the company even further ahead of its competition, which includes IBM and Storage Technology Corporation. Experts contend that revenue from from the Symmetrix line alone has grown to over $140 million in 1992, from $5 million in 1990, giving EMC 2.5 percent of the global data-storage market. Market share is expected to increase to 4 percent in 1993 with sales increasing to $200 million.

Computerized holography: a gimmick grows up; someday, technology will allow 3-D images to be manipulated
Article Abstract:
Technology that enables computer to generate three-dimensional video images is still in its infant stages but researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab are diligently working to create it. The group, which has spent nearly $1.2 million in research, has already created an electronic three-dimensional image. The process of creating three-dimensional video images involves taking an image from a special camera and then converting it to data that a computer can understand. The computer then sends electronic signals through a series of crystals that receives a laser light and creates a holographic image. One promising application for the emerging technology is in medicine, where doctors will be able to improve diagnostic techniques.

Futuristic lessons from a public TV station
Article Abstract:
WGBH, Boston's public television station, offers interactive multimedia teaching tools that are noted not just for the technology but also for the attention the station gives to educational and production values. WGBH producers work closely with educators and information technology experts in developing their educational offerings. Its first interactive videodisk was the 'Nova' series; the 10-part 'Race to Save the Planet' was another. WGBH's Special Telecommunications Services unit, a $20 million, 200-employee operation, is in charge of multi-versioning, wherein every broadcast project is expanded from a mere tv show to a potential book, teaching module, interactive video, study guide or other educational materials.
