Socio-Economic Aspects of Video-Player Systems — A Perspective
What we Discussed at Montreal was called a new technology. Basically it involves a video-player, which may also be a video-recorder and which, when connected to the antenna terminals of a television monitor, or receiver, will reproduce, with sound, a prerecorded video program. The TV set is common to all systems which have been proposed. But the video-players of the various prospective systems involve not one, but several technologies. Thus, it would seem prudent that right at the beginning we define “technology” and make some basic observations about technologies in a socio-economic context.
