Computer Conferencing: An Opportunity for New Directions

Abstract

Computer conferencing is low-cost application of technology which has proven it capability to unleash the synergistic potential of individuals with like areas of interest. The author's opinion is that in a time of renewed budget constraints, computer conferencing can help eliminate many overhead costs of on- going group discussions, education and training programs, and ultimately enhance established decision-making mechanisms. Above all, however, computer conferencing can provide the Air Force with an opportunity for new directions in its effort to enhance mission effectiveness and achieve stated goals. Keywords: Telecommunications system.
