Abstract

Many problems beset early digital interactive publishing on videodiscs and LaserDiscs, while the rapid development of the Internet, technically and in terms of user base, has in most fields now supplanted the CD-ROM. The future for off-line digital resources in the cultural field will depend on one hand on the success of the current (very slow) launch of DVD with its greatly increased storage capacity compared with CD-ROM and, on the other hand, on the widening and cheapening of Internet bandwidth. And the launch of high definition digital television will almost certainly change everything yet again.
