Education and the arts

People working in the fields of education and the arts are getting very excited by the possibilities opening up in the sphere of new media technology. The advent of widely available graphical browsers has brought the transmission of quality images within the grasp of a much wider constituency than ever before. What was once the exclusive realm of computer specialists is now accessible to people whose primary concerns lie outside of the technology, and who see computers solely as a means of furthering those concerns. One of the keynote speeches at the second World Wide Web conference in Chicago took as its theme the necessity of developing transparent technologies. Nowhere is this more appropriate than in the fields of education and the arts, where information content is all-important.
