Computer Technology in Libraries

Overview The DVD presents an unparalleled opportunity for members of the library community to observe a paradigm shift in the computer world. The DVD will force PC's to support high quality television. As the transistors on the support chips on the PC motherboards migrate onto the microprocessor chip itself, the cost of the PC will drop considerably. As some point the only difference between a TV and a PC will be the microprocessor chip, and it will be cheaper to make all PC's and TV's identical to gain the economies of scale. The same chip will contain both television and PC circuits, with considerable chip real estate left over. It is probably a greater effort to design the single chip to include a DVD player than it is to provide PC and TV capabilities on the chip.
