AbstractToday I will focus on telecommunications technology for the first decade of the 21st century. Few things incite speculation about the future more than a year ending in the numeral “zero.” With the approaching millennium and its near-mystical three zeroes, everyone everywhere hungers for a glimpse into the future. My vision of the telecommunications future shows a collective of universal capabilities made possible by limitless digital networks with ubiquitous access and functionality. Mobile communications, the Internet, video, telephony and a broad array of end-user services will be the major drivers moving network providers to fuse capability with transparency. Integration of the full spectrum of communication possibilities will be the trend of the 21st century.

Video clips are a type of interactive multimedia that are often incorporated in Internet based training, and recent studies have reported examples of how cooperative extension is beginning to use Internet technology, including video clips, as part of delivering educational programs online. A survey was designed to determine if Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener volunteers trained in 2001 were able to access a video clip online. Eighty percent of the recent trainees had access to or owned a computer and 93% of this group had access to the Internet. Yet, when asked to access the video clip online only 37% of the respondents were successful. This disparity suggests the need for a seamless interface between the multimedia component and the software required to access it. If the end user is unable to access the multimedia component, it is difficult to justify the additional resources required to develop these teaching tools.

In the conclusion part, a school structure where principles such as personalized ways and methods of access to information, development of creativity, acquisition of necessary methods for reasoning, integration of information with systematic attitude is proposed. For the schools of the future, it has been concluded that the elements of education such as classrooms, technique, methods, tools, and materials, and the role of the teacher should be reconsidered, and the school should be designed in a way that individuals can establish their own knowledge sphere within the boundaries of the school buildings.

Abstract In order to maintain and improve its competitive advantage, the ability of 21st-century armies to recognize, anticipate, adapt and manipulate IoT on the future battlefield is important. The explosive growth of innovation in the commercial sector which utilizes the integration of cloud computing, mobile communications, sensor data collection networks and artificial intelligence is a major challenge for the military. A new concept, still untapped, called the Battlefield Things Internet (IoBT) comes from here.

Аннотация. В начале этого года неожиданная эпидемия COVID-19 нарушила жизнь людей во всём мире. Приостановлено развитие мировой экономики, международных торговых обменов, что привело к необходимости развивать экономику внутри стран. Приостановлено также заключение международных торговых контрактов и переговоров. Поиск путей выхода из затруднительного положения становится главной задачей для специалистов в области международной торговли. Благодаря быстрому развитию интернета, созданию электронной базы данных и использованию мобильной связи люди по всему миру повышают культуру потребления в сети интернет, используют возможности интернет-технологий, в том числе: электронную торговлю, рекламу услуг маркетинга, сайты для совместного сотрудничества. С помощью использования базы данных и международных сайтов в режиме онлайн возникают возможности для осуществления международных покупок в реальном времени. Под давлением эпидемии многие традиционные отрасли начали пытаться трансформировать онлайн-продажи, которые могут уменьшить убытки, вызванные эпидемией, и даже найти новые точки роста. Наступила эра «живых продаж». Можно предвидеть, что в будущем «живые» продажи охватят больше областей и станут одной из основных моделей продаж. Международная электронная торговля отличается от внутренней электронной торговли, и ей приходится сталкиваться со всё более и более сложными проблемами. В таких условиях наиболее актуальным является вопрос разработки путей развития международной электронной торговли. Ключевые слова: международная электронная торговля, Хайтао, Дайгоу, товары для матери и ребёнка, косметика, предметы роскоши, операционная модель, японские и корейские покупки Parami, Yangpu, Tmall International, Гуанчжоуская международная ярмарка Экспортных товаров, AliExpress, особенность прямых продаж, интерактивность, географические и политические преимущества, перспективные пути развития прямых продаж международной электронной торговли между Китаем и Россией. Abstract. At the beginning of this year, a sudden COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the lives of people all over the world. International trade exchanges were forced to be suspended, which resulted in economic development only within each country. People were unable to conduct face-to-face negotiations and transactions. Thus, the way of breaking through the dilemma has become a problem that the experts who deal with cross-border commerce need to think about. Due to the rapid development of the Internet, creation of electronic databases and use of mobile communications, people all over the world are using the Internet technology. Therefore, the consumption culture of the Internet has been enhanced, including: e-commerce, advertising promotion, advertising marketing services. They share and cooperate with the help of sharing sites. By using databases and online international websites, international shopping can be carried out in real time. Under the pressure of the epidemic, many traditional industries have begun to try the transformation of online sales, which can reduce the losses caused by the epidemic, and even find new growth points. The era of “live sales” has quietly arrived. It is foreseeable that live shopping in the future will cover more areas and become one of the mainstream sales models. Cross-border e-commerce is different from domestic e-commerce in that it faces more and more complex problems. It is imminent to find a suitable development path for cross-border e-commerce direct sales. Keywords: International e-commerce, overseas shopping, purchasing, maternal and child, cosmetics, luxury goods, operation mode, Parami Japan and South Korea purchases, Yangpu, Tmall International, Canton Fair, AliExpress, geographic, political and economic advantages, characteristics of live sales, interactivity, the future of the cross-border e-commerce direct sales between China and Russia.

This paper, and the following seven papers, were presented at the Institute's NAV94 Conference held at Church House, London, in November 1994. The full proceedings may be obtained from the Director, RIN, price £25.00 (plus p & p).I should start by explaining that the main purpose of my paper is to pass on the Inmarsat vision of satellite navigation in the future.But first a little about mobile satcoms, our original reason for being. If you have followed us even at a distance you will be aware of:(i) how we started with satcoms for ships;(ii) how we contributed to a new maritime safety system;(iii) how we developed an aeronautical satcoms system in close cooperation with the civil aviation world;(iv) how land-mobile communications now account for one-third of our total traffic.

Public libraries are facing significant challenges over the next decade and into the 21st century. The need for public libraries therefore to network their services is now increasingly becoming the focus of attention. Project EARL will examine the services, technical infrastructure, and application/communication software required to network public library information and resources services. It will also produce a networking strategy with associated costs for providing public libraries with access to the Internet. Following the workshop, 14 libraries agreed to fund a scoping study which would draw up recommendations and produce costed options for the future funding of major developments.

The future of labor market depends upon several factors, long-term innovation and the demographic developments. However, one of the main drivers of technological change in the future is digitalization and central to this development is the production and use of digital logic circuits and its derived technologies, including the computer,the smart phone and the Internet. Especially, smart automation will perhaps not cause e.g.regarding industries, occupations, skills, tasks and duties
