From Telecommunications to Telematics
By: US Govt
FROM
TELECOMMUNICATIONS TO TELEMATICS
Telecommunications and computers have now merged. New terminology
like
"telematics" or "National Information Infrastructure (NII)" can best describe
the marriage, although we will continue to use "telecommunications" in this
report. Computers are attached to networks and embedded within them. Examples
of telecommunications as telematics are cellular mobile telephones, automatic
teller machines, airline reservation systems, electronic cash registers that
update inventory data and order replacement stock, and handheld computers that
transmit and receive wireless messages. Virtually all switched
telecommunications is telematics, since modern telephone switches are in fact
special-purpose computers.
At the same time that telecommunications revolutionizes information flows,

aviation, overnight package delivery, trucking, railroads, and international
shipping are increasingly managed through computers and telecommunications that
guide shipments, people, and vehicles.
