Abstract
Imagine a meeting among up to eighty people, all participating from different places in the world at a time convenient to them. Everything any participant of the meeting says is stored in computer memory, numbered and indexed so that people joining the meeting later can scan, skip or study the proceedings according to their particular interests. Comments on any issue are typed into a computer, and can be changed if the ‘speaker’ changes his or her mind or makes a mistake, then entered into the meeting record. For the duration of the conference, a computer keeps track of all the details such as who has read what, which discussion a user is making a comment on and so forth.
