[comp.multimedia] infrastructure for multimedia?

Rick_McCormack@mindlink.bc.ca (Rick McCormack) (06/18/91)

We are all familiar that automobiles required/forced the construction of an
infrastructure of roads, gas stations, dealers, etc.  Many of these structures
grew from existing devices to wholy new devices under the spreading influence
of the auto (smithy shop to repair garage, general store to gas station).

I am trying to figure out which devices we now have that multi-media will
re-construct, and which will need to be devised (there was no predecessor to
the interstate highway) before multi-media becomes integrated into computer
work-a-day life.

For instance, I see CD-ROM, in any of its existing or about to be released
formats, to be a multi-media infrastructure.

Can anyone contribute to this list, or am I "out in the blue?"
