This statement is accurate because?
It contains an important aspect of the great world of information telematics and multimedia.
The view from the Top means that each person can see and learn this new technology by practicing every day using all means of information and resources that the world of the Internet allows you to use to study it.
Telematics (a term rarely replaced by teleinformatics) is a scientific and technological discipline that arose from the need to unify methodologies and techniques telecommunications and information technology to achieve the transfer of information and remote processing.
Multimedia is the coexistence and interaction of several means of mass communication in the same support or information context.
The term “multimedia”, released in the late eighties and early nineties, comes from the Latin medium (= “middle”, understood here as a “means of communication”) and you can roughly translate into “a variety of mediums “.
Over the years, the term “multimedia” has taken multiple connotations. According to the scholar Maragliano multimedia can be understood as the confluence of three media and cultural traditions: that of the press, characterized by objectivity, analytical, systematic and closing the audiovision, where there are the subjectivity, globality, the opening ; that of interactivity, where the user has a function co-authorship. Although psychological research has helped to widen the meaning of the term, distinguishing between two forms of multimedia: how presentation format that uses multiple sensory channels, such as cognitive process that allows the acquisition of new knowledge.

History
Harris MR80C88 processor.
The “Harris Automatic Press Company” was founded in Niles, Ohio in 1895. They spent the next 60 years developing lithographic processes and printing presses before acquiring typesettingcompany Intertype Corporation, and Gates Radio, once a producer of broadcast electronics, in 1957.
In 1959, they acquired microwave technology company PRD Electronics of Brooklyn, New York.[citation needed]
In 1967, they merged with Radiation, Inc. of Melbourne, Florida, a developer of antenna, integrated circuit, and modem technology used in the space race: the semiconductor business that later became Intersil in 1999 was born of this development. The company headquarters was moved from Cleveland to Melbourne in 1978.[citation needed]
In 1969, Harris Corporation acquired RF Communications and Farinon, furthering its microwave assets. The printing operations were sold off in 1983 and are now known as GSS Printing Equipment. GSS Printing Equipment later acquired Lanier Worldwide, which itself was spun off from Harris Corporation in the late 1990s.[citation needed][clarification needed]
In the late 1980s, Harris bought the semiconductor division of RCA after GE‘s acquisition of RCA, later selling the same to Texas Instruments in the later 1990s or very early 2000s.[citation needed][clarification needed] TI still (as of Sept. 2006) makes the CD4000 family of CMOS logic chips originally offered by RCA and acquired by TI through Harris.
In 1996, Harris Corporation formed a joint venture with Shenzhen Telecom Company to produce and sell Harris’ digital microwave radios and integrate them with other systems.[citation needed][clarification needed]
In 2005, the corporation spent $870 million on research and development.
In January 2011 Harris opened its Calgary, Alberta avionics operation, Harris Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Harris Corporation. The new facility’s operations include among others the support of the work to be completed under the company’s six-year, $273 million (CAD) services contract with the Government of Canada for the CF-18 Avionics Optimized Weapon System Support (OWSS) program.

With this article I have shown how in the modern world of the companies involved in this technology are those able to maintain its market financial investment.
In another chapter I have spoken of the company Micro Focus Cobol working its programs for multinational companies that deal with financial data.
Today, instead of a company Harris that deals with multimedia transmissions and more.
More than 87,000 daily flights arrive safety using Harris’ secure and reliable telecom network.
