Excerpt from Editorial:
This journal is about to formally kick off our celebration of our Centennial Year of publication in 2012!
During 2012, we will be publishing a total of 13 issues including a special retrospective issue scheduled to be published on May 15, 2012, which will review the past, the present, as well as the future of technology, in 20 carefully selected areas. Predictions included will cover the next, 20, 50 and perhaps 100 years into the future!
Topics in the Centennial Issue will include: wireless communications, space exploration and science, engineering education and the role of the engineer in society, consumer and home electronics, materials science, computers and IT, technical research in 2112, medical devices, flexible electronics, energy and power, optical devices, mass storage, seeking extraterrestrial life, radio spectrum access, and many other topics.
In addition to this very special Centennial Issue, we have 12 additional issues that will cover a wide variety of topic areas, all with a special emphasis on our celebration.
