Abstract
Electronic communication is here to stay. The Internet, the information superhighway, the World Wide Web and e-mail are now everyday topics of conversation, with their own television programmes and newspaper supplements. Scientists in general, and physicists in particular, have been at the forefront of this new electronic revolution. Scientific use of the Internet now includes communications (where e-mail is rapidly replacing the phone, fax and “snail mail”), the transfer of large datasets from supercomputers and satellites, remote control of telescopes and other large pieces of research equipment, and electronic publishing (see p43 and Further reading).
