In many ways, South Carolina is a microcosm of technological changes. If you examine occupational patterns, for example, since the mid-1960s, the distribution of occupations has shifted dramatically from the industrial/agricultural sector to the service sector, which is dominated by computer technology. With these changes that have been taking place for over three decades, there is the realization that growth in technology is associated with underlying factors that integrate the dynamics of the Information Age with the needs of the state's citizens. As the dynamics of information technology continue to evolve, with more powerful and cost-effective hardware combined with complex software systems designed for use as enterprise tools on the Internet/WWW, South Carolina must continue broad ...

Pollution Release and Transfer Registers (PRTRs) are databases maintained to summarize chemical releases to air, water, and soil, and transfers of chemicals off-site for treatment, disposal or recycling. The periodic reporting of data to governmental PRTRs and the subsequent public disclosure herald a new age of a highly efficient and effective environmental regulatory devices. PRTRs first developed as national systems in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Following the evidenced success of the United States PRTR program and strong pressure from the United Nations' Rio Protocol, international organizations began an intensive effort to assist countries in PRTR development. Several nations now have working PRTR systems. Others, including the European Union, are in stages of inte...

An Air Force and Navy capable of controlling air, space, and sea domains from which to coerce enemies with a hail of precise air and naval missile power; increasingly more capable special operating forces to penetrate enemy territory and provide targets; and a new core capability called "information operations" (IO) to "influence, disrupt, corrupt or usurp adversarial human and automated decisionmaking, while protecting our own." The first of these tenets is that "the integrated employment of the core capabilities of electronic warfare, computer network operations, psychological operations, military deception, and operations security, in concert with specified supporting and related capabilities" is the best way to gain the maximum benefit of so-called IO core, supporting, and related ...
